Hey, I bought 3 sunburst to add to my communal tank. After a few months, one of them started to get a belly and the other 2 chased it around. I looked into sexing them, and I think the big one is a fmale and the two others are male based off their anal fins. But I dont see a gravid spot? She is boxed up in shape and has a white spot between her fins which Google said meant imminent birth, but want some advice. Should I put her in a breeder box overnight? Should I move the males out of their tank and leave her alone?

I have no clue haha. Ive had it for 6 months and just noticed the flowering yesterday.

I moved her and thr two males from the communal tank to a smaller 10g tank to try and keep the fry safe is she is pregnant. Should I move the males back and leave her there alone or should I leave them together and move all 3 back if she does birth? I like fish, but never dealt with a pregnancy before.

I have a 20g, a 5g betta only tank, and their 10g.

These are the other 2 I thought were males.

The water looks green because I wrapped a green towel around the tank since they all kept butting the glass, I was hoping to help them realize it was the edges of the tank.
