So, I've had these two female about 5-6 weeks. Only, now I'm no longer sure if they are pregnant or I am just doing a great job at feeding them. Thing is... I would have expected them to drop by now if they did come to me pregnant. The LFS I got them from had single males swimming in each female tank... so...

I also included a then and now picture as I do believe at least one of them was quite underfeed when I bought her... so that is sort of getting in my way of deciding if they even are pregnant... just wanting some yes or no opinions on pregnancy. As you can see Firefly (red one) looked decent when I got her... but Jelly Bean (yellow one) was so thin she looked sickly.

Definitely pregnant! You can see the pink gravid spot with all of the black bits in! They are the fry eyes :rolleyes:

Good, I wasn't sure about that bit! Her gravid spot isn't really that "clear" so it doesn't look like eyes but looking back at the photo it wasn't like that before. :D

I'm really wanting to catch the red tuxedos (in hope they are also red tuxedos) and move them to another tank to grow... but I seem to be waiting forever on these! :lol: They've started to make me doubt myself!
