Which way are the stripes? Females can be striped all their life, if they run parallel to the body then they're most likely stress stripes... If the run horizontal they're most likely breeding stripes.

Are you sure she's happy?
Some females can get them even when happy, my girl does. I have 2 girls and one is constantly striped up even though she's the more active and happy one of the two...

Yeah I am sure she is happy. The sorority gives her a wide berth and she jumps for food

HannahBear that's what my female is like. I moved a plant by accident in a water change and she went flaring at me for it and striped up because it was 'wrong' in her eyes
