My pictus catfish i bought today is very very fat in the stomach...It looks to be very pregnant. Does anyone know about females or pregnancies with these fish??

has been for a while since i got it 3 mos ago 0 doubt if it's pregnancy didnt think these have been bred in aquariums? coul be wrong though - hoepfully it's not interal parasites like tapeworms or something causing the stomach to bulge -
hopefully someone else can be more helpful just though i'd - ive not seen any eggs :(

Pictus cats often bulge after they have eaten too much. They can be real pigs, lol.
