I bought 5 White clouds yesterday for my vivarium tank, and some of them have big bellies (from just behind their gills, to the anal fin) one in particular is bigger than the rest. The belly is white in color. I've never had white clouds before and I dont know if thats how they naturally look or if I have at least 3 pregnant females. If they are pregnant What do I do!!

They could be gravid, or full of eggs, but white clouds can't be pregnant. If you make the slightest effort to keep the fry from getting eaten you might be able to raise some. I've heard they arn't to hard to spawn.

Thats what I ment, I know they arent live bearers. Out of 5 that I bought, 4 of them look kind of look like this:

i bought a male and female white cloud and my female looks just like that. i'm currently feedin her freeze dried bloodworms and every now and then she'll eat frozen ones and crushed up spiriluna disks (crushed enough so they won't sink) for a couple of days to condition her for breeding. the male will eat but not as readily. she eats all the time as if she were eatin for many many fish. i think i may go pick up another female just in case this one doesn't see my male as a potential mating partner, or should i get another male...?
