Hi so I got 2 glass catfish and i think one is pregnant as she has a big belly on her and she is always hiding in a dark corner next to the filter but I want to know what I should do if she is pregnant. I can get pictures if u need me to. But she is defiantly bigger than the other one and she hides a lot. The other one is always out swimming around. She used to before but I hardly see her now.
 
The fish definitely isn't pregnant, because these fish are not livebearers. It's possible that it might be eggs inside, but probably more likely to be a little bloated. Try feeding a boiled pea (de-shelled) and see if that helps.
 
These social catfish need far more numbers to feel secure, 10-15 minimum, just like my Pareutropius mandevillei (of which I have 25).
