So I currently have 4 striped Kuhli loaches in a 20 gallon (plus some tetras and nerite snails). It's planted and has driftwood, which is where they spend post of their time. I recently noticed one or two of my loaches got super thick through the middle with a distended stomach and the color seemed to be faded as if stretched. I did some research as I was concerned, and it sounds like my loach is definitely pregnant! She keeps getting bigger and bigger. I'm not sure if it's just one loach that's pregnant or if two are, and I haven't been able to get a picture. My questions are:
Does it sound as if my loach is indeed pregnant? If so, how can I take care of it? I haven't been able to find much info other than it will lay the eggs in a floating plant and I should move them to another thank. I have a 10 gallon with my beta in it, so I could divide that or add a breeder net to it maybe?
I have no experience breeding anything, so any advice is appreciated!
