Preggers or not preggers...that is the question

[blue fin]

Ok folks...anybody know of a sign that you have a pregnant Cardinal tetra?? I've got one with a large belly and haven't a clue whether it is pregnant or not. I set up a 10 gal tank this weekend just in case and have it ready for fry but It would be nice to know if the fish is even pregnant....anyone have a clue?
:help:

Thanks... I wasn't terribly happy with this one but I'll take the compliment anyhow....

feed it peas (thawed smushed) if it still looks like that then definitely preggers!!! but if it goes away after eating peas for a day or two then it was just constipated!

Been this way for a week, all the other cardinals are ok, a couple seemed to have bladder disease but after a day with little food that cleared up.... I appreciate it tho.. can't hurt to try I suppose.....
