Otos - How can you tell if they're pregnant??

Ok, so I have a couple of otos in our tank....The other day I noticed that the largest one has a huge full belly that is dark in color. Unlike any other time I've observed...There are no signs of waste issues as at first I thought she? might be backed up, but I noticed that wasn't the problem...If you know what I mean....So I got to thinking that she? might be pregnant....Does anyone know the signs?

Thanks.

It is rare for Otos to breed in home tanks, if she is pregnant you'll see eggs within a week. Usually the tummy is whitish in color though, so this could be a result of what she's recently eaten or even a health issue that I'm not familiar with. I'll put this in the Oto forum and hopefully another member with a bit of Oto experience can tell you what she's up to.
