Im not sure if its poo in her tummy or babies...there is a big black dot, and her tummy has grown alot over last few days, i have had her for 6 weeks along with 5 others of her kind, dont know which is male of female.

I have included some pics, i know there not the best, but it will give you an idea of what i am seein.

Also they lay eggs right? So do i need to move her? With another Male? How do i know which is male? All my other Zebra Daino's look slender apart from maybe one other whos tummy is expanding..maybe she is female and pregnant too?

Help if they are having babies, i need to act fast, as this one has a very large tummy and i dont know what to do next

Panick over, i here they are egg layers, which is what i have read, so if a male doesnt fertalise the eggs i will be ok? Or do i need to move them? How do i know if she is full of eggs?

fistly egg layers can't be pregnant as such.

It is posible she is full of eggs, but could be constipastion. Even if she did lay eggs it likely there be eaten before the hit the floor.

Keep an eye on her, to make shore she pooping ok.
