Aquarium Advice Regular
I think one of my Opaline Gourami is pregnant. I noticed it's belly yesterday after feeding but just kinda figured it was a good meal. Today before feeding it still has the belly, and yes I'm 90% that it's a female. I have 2 opaline, one has a dorsal that is pointed and almost flowy that goes all the way past the start of the tail fin and the one I think could be pregnant has a very short round dorsal that goes about halfway to the start of the tail. The fish in question is acting different, it non stop picks around the bottom then goes right up to the top grabs a breath then right back to the bottom. I have seen this for about the last hour, I was not watching before that so I don't know, last night it was fine. My tank is half open top and my sump is all open but that top breathing makes me feel like she isn't getting enough o2. Is this normal behavior IF it is pregnant. Should I be doing anything for these fish like prenatal care or do they just breed like cats and you just deal with it. Sorry no pics my lights are off
