Hi, i have two upsidedown catfish in my tank, one has a really large belly. I was just wondering if they are live bearers? or lay eggs? Also what do you guys think is wrong with it? is it pregnant? Thanks in advance

Ok, the differences between distilled and regular tap water is that distilled water is pure H2O,. it is made by boiling regular tap water and condensing down the steam which it produces, meaning that all the salts like carbonate and ions like calcium along with the other metals are not present...
