Pregnant Clown Loach ?

[smithyif]

evening all i was just wondering if anybody could tell me how to tell if a clown loach is pregnant ?

 

[fluttermoth]

Well, for a start, clown loach lay eggs, so they don't get pregnant, they get gravid

It's not easy, but if you look at the fish from the top, she'll look very broad compared to a male fish. You might be able to see her stripes bend slightly as they go over her belly.

Posting a picture would be of massive assistance to others who are helping to determine whether she is carrying eggs.

tbf I would just assume it isn't,

The only 'reported' case of them breeding was an instance where the clowns were over 10" long
