My one ottos looks fatter than usual. The pics dont to justice. When it was on the wall, I looked at the belly, and it seemed like there were eggs in there. Can you usually see them?

I havent seen much lately, but I havent gotten to spend much time at that tank in the last few days (setting up a 90 gal), but I have seen them "dancing" around before, but never did find eggs.

It's quite possible, I've had gravid females quite often, the problem is getting the fry to survive.

Every time I saw it with a female (larger and rounder), there were yellowy eggs (hard to see, slight yellow tinge to the area) directly bellow the belly. They did lay eggs a few times, never had any fry survive though :scry:

Sounds exactly like mine! I guess I'll look for eggs!

It's kinda hard to tell from the pics, but I'd say that those are eggs. They're somewhat yellow in color, right. If so, chances are good that they are indeed eggs.
