believe my yellow lab is pregnant. i bought it thinking it was a male, but i guess i was wrong. her cheeks are pushed out, and she didnt eat when i put food into the tank. also the area around her anal fins looks different. here r the pics.
 
i saw eggs in her mouth so i guess shes holding, the 2'nd pic if it uploaded is who i think is the dad
 
Yes she is holding and they hold for a longtime too. Mine held for 4 weeks and that freaked me out a little. I was worried as it turns out for nothing. I got 15 healthy fry out of it and they are 2 weeks old now and looking good.
 
thanks, i can see eggs in her mouth now. i believe the dad is my kenyi. i thought my electric yellow was a male, but i stand corrected.
i think im going to leave her in the tank, and let the fry go like that.
