Ive had her with two males for a while now but i think the males are still really small. Well i also took a picture of males if you need to see them.

She looks pregnant to me, but then again none of my fish ever had babies (at least that I know of

).

I thought I could see some dark bulging near the anal fin, indicating developing fry. But I would bet that she still has a ways to go yet. They really look plump and have a definite dark area near the anal fin (or even multiple little black spots which are the fry eyes) when they get within about 5 days of fry drop.

well it appears that the spot is getting darker but thats just about it. She still acts normal and does the same things as before
