	Extreamly Puffy Female
mrwizerd Big Fish Posts: 360 Kudos: 197 Votes: 75 Registered: 24-Oct-2005	I dont know if she is getting ready to spawn or what, she is really really round around her abdomon just behind her gills. Also the behavior of the male has changed he is a lot less agressive and the females are following him in close tow. He hasnt built a bubble nest but he will rub against her "affectionatly" i dont know if there ready to spawn or if there just being amourous. If they are ready to spanw i need to know if i need to do to help them along.

Two Tanks Big Fish Posts: 449 Kudos: 328 Votes: 13 Registered: 02-Jun-2003	I got the movie to load. I do not see that there is a problem - just looks like she is ready to spawn. I have had fish with dropsy and it does not look like this. I think she is OK.
