I noticed the other day that one of my loaches has a big fat tummy. I have two, and am now assuming one is male and one female. I've had the loaches for about 4 months, and all of a sudden one has the rounded stomach. Now, when I bought the loaches, the guy at my lfs said they were Diamond Loaches... but I cant seem to find anything on Google. Am frantically looking for any info on what to do. I don't have a separate tank set up that I could put it in... am not positive its pregnant and would feel mean putting her in a little plastic container floating around the top because they are so active.
My water parameters are perfect - one of my guppies just had babies and another is pregnant.
Dumb question - are they livebearers? :?
What to do????? Any suggestions would help. I read that loaches breeding in captivity isnt very common, so if she's pregnant, I definately want to do everything I can to save the babies.
