It's a defined egg area, the picture is quite pixelated to see with detail. When they are a few days away you can see the fry's eyes. When you see her slowing down and resting on a plant or the substrate your hours away.

Also she probably won't have many her first few times she gives birth and because she is small. Good luck with your babies!

Yay! If you want to keep it, you should probably move it to a separate tank so it doesn't get eaten.

I don't separate my adults and fry, too lazy. I do however have a TON of plant cover.

I raise mine seperate, but I can't get all of the fry out of the tank, so a few grow up in my main tank, plant cover really helps me out.

If you get a lot of plants they will be ok with the parents.feed the fry several times a day for good growth.
