Glofish pregnant?

[Jnthn932]

I think my glofish might be pregnant. Can anyone tell me what this might be?

See the red tube thing hanging from it underbelly?

Glofish are egg layers not livebearers and can not be pregnant. They can be full of eggs, I don't remember the technical term.

Your fish does however look extremely bloated, i would cut down on the feedings for a bit. Also that red thing hanging down looks like poop to me.

Wow. It must have been pretty constipated lol. I feed once every twelve hours. That too much?

It is more than enough. Most healthy fish can go longer than five days without food.

Dang. I was told twice a day. Stupid petsmart

Once in a 24 hour period is more than enough unless you are growing out fry and then twice a day.

I believe glofish are genetically engineered to be sterile. So it would be a miracle if you managed to get one that can produce viable eggs or a male that can fertilize them. If you got one (and not both male an female glofish you have are sterile), I suppose you can introduce a regular zebra danio that can breed with him/her.
