I just noticed one of my amanos was very preggers yesterday. I scooped her out of the community tank and put her in her own 2 gallon hex (I'd love to put her in bigger but its all I've got.)
I did a search here and found Wilma's site that RTR recommended which helped a lot. My biggest question now is: How do I know if the eggs are fertilized or not?
This is the first time I noticed that she looked gravid. There's a big green mass under her belly between all her legs. She's separated now but obviously that won't do any good if the eggs aren't fertilized. So, should I add another amano to the hex? I can't tell who's a male and who's a female. I would have thought the males were bigger but this gravid one is one of the larger ones in the tank!
