RCS pregnant?

[jb-ny]

Stopped into my LFS to look and picked up some CRS for my 5 gallon.
Is this one pregnant? Pic sucks but there are little white ball looking thing in her belly

yeah, looks like a fat berry too

What are the chances the little ones survive. transferring to a new environment during pregnancy must cause stess? Anything I can do to help?

 

[pik01]

Clean water plus an established tank and the little ones should be fine (assuming there's no predation). And yes, the transfer will stress her and may cause her to drop her berry. Is this berried female still at the LFS or in your tank already? If she's in your tank, just leave her be, if she's still at the LFS, you're taking a risk bringing her home.

She is in my tank. I just asked for 4 CRS I was busy looking around the store and the clerk put them in the bag. She is in a well established tank. Lots of plants, I bought some of them this evening. 1 very pregnant guppy and 1 mystery snail is all that's in the tank.
