bn albino's

[quandary]

Hi there I have a 2" albino bn who lives with a smaller bn and 3 1/2" red pleco (what they called it in the shop!) the bigger albino bn has what looks like a swollen tummy, should I be worried? It's been about today but is now under a bit of bogwood with the red plec underneath, they were snuggled up together yesterday, won't make baybies will they?

I don't know what you'd call swollen, but all my bristlenoses have bellies that look as if they will burst. This is supposed to be a good sign. You should worry about them if they appear hollow.

I guess it depends on whay you mean by "hollow"... My bristlenoses sometimes go unfed for over a week and I never observed any hollow bellies... Do they actually look concave?
