Pregnant Rasbora - Aquarium Advice

Bucky Katt · 08-14-2006, 09:12 PM

Anyone have a picture of a pregnant harlequin rasbora? I have one that has a much bigger belly than the rest. I need to know if I should go buy a small tank for the fry.

They are egg layers. They lay them on the under side of leaves. A female may be slightly rounder than a male but not fat like a livebearer.
