Seriously Gravid?

Post by MissNoodle »

This lady has been steadily getting fatter and fatter, and I can see the eggs through her skin, but she won't drop any eggs :/ other females in the tank do regularly, but not this lady.

Planning to separate her and a couple males and see if I can force a trigger for her, because this just can't be healthy to be this huge.
