One of my females (grey snakeskin) started having a gravid spot like 32 days ago and she hasn't gotten any bigger and her gravid spot hasn't changed besides getting a little darker. I also have a blonde guppy that has had a faint gravid spot and has gotten huge within 16 days and now she's tiny again, what's wrong?
