IS she pregnant?
She has a very light brown gravid spot and there is a male in the tank and she is not eating as much as she use to, she isnt plump yet(or about to burst) but she does have a boxy figure. Also, she only stays at the front of the tanks(my tank is not leaning forward) She dosent hide much, the male dosent chace here and she hangs out at the top of the tanks. Is she pregnant?

IF YES:

How do i make a home made breeder net/box? My local pet stores only sell them online? Thanks!

BTW, i have 5 babies and one of my fishes are hopefully pregnant.

A boxy figure may sometimes be caused by over eating.

I can defenetly tell she isnt over feed, 100% sure.

If she is, she is not even close to giving birth. I cannot see her gravid spot, and she does look a bit big... if she is pregnant, there is still a long time between now and birth.

They get REALLY big when they are about to give birth.

A little bit bigger than this picture.

She probably is pregnant, but she doesn't look like giving birth yet. If you're not sure just chuck her in a breeding trap.

I know. The gravid spot will get really black and big and she will look like a balloon, but, just wondering....
