(stupid question...just in case!) or as said..being eaten b4 u can see it...have u ever noticed any of the females gettin bigger as if they will about to explode?? do they have black markings in their abdomen?? some livebearers could be sterile specially if theres too much inbreeding happening?? did u buy ur fish all at the same time in the same tank in the same lfs??? |
