Telling The Difference Between Eggs And Full Stomach

[Taridan]

Well, the topic pretty much says it all... I've seen some pics of females on aquabid, and most of them say full of eggs and ready to breed, and since I'm relatively new to owning females, I was wondering if anyone had links I could look at to help tell the difference between full of eggs and belly full of food, since to my in-experienced eye the ones claiming to be egg-full just look over fed to me.

hehe, they always look overfed to me too! One of my females is such a pig... she eats and eats and eats!!!

Most breeders feed their fish prior to, and during a photo session. With that said, splendens are always ready with eggs. You don't have to wait for an ovulation period or anything like that, I guess saying "full of eggs" is just a sales pitch.

I thought it might be something along those lines. ^.^ thanks.
