OK, I thought I had 3 MALE Black Skirt Tetras, but now one of them looks like it either ate one of the Neons or it's pregnant.
I don't know anything about breeding, and didn't really want to get into fish obstetrics, so if someone can help me out that would be great. Couple of questions......
1) Is there any way to "know" if this fish is pregnant? I think I'd have a hard time getting it to pee on a stick.
2) Assuming it is pregnant is there anything I need to do? i.e. boil a pot of water, breathe deeply....
3) Could it be something else? And before you ask, all the other fish are accounted for. The bulge is pretty extreme in people standards i'd guess 7-8 months pregnant, and the Black Skirt has been acting weird lately, territorial, with a "stay away from me" attitude - chasing the other two Black Skirts away instead of the normal schooling behavior. But no morning sickness - yet.
Oh, my tank is a 30gal lightly planted with four Neons, Three Black Skirt Tetras, six Rasboras, Three Guppys, three Red Wag Platys, two Gouramis, and one very young sunset Angel - 22 altogether.
Thanks in advance for your help.
