has anyone noticed if there female oscar get a little pudgy in the midsection prior they lay eggs. i just noticed that one of my tigers has a little pudge going on and i think its about spawning time for them.


just curious

unfortunately i have not had the opertunity to look yet...but very interesting post !!

my lady grey belly usually had that something looks
like bubble at the belly where the eggs comes out. i
am so amazed to watch how the eggs are being discharge
and paste on the slate. am also amazed on how the male
swim over those eggs several times and discharge something
like a milk from the belly. (fertilizing)

interesting!!! how about a pic?

actually, i had tried to video the process but since
i am afraid i may disturb the fishes, i did not put to
much light. the outcome is not visible but after the eggs
had been laid, there are a lot of pictures in my album.
