I have had my minnows for about 6 weeks or so now, and they have been doing great. I put them in the tank when it was all cycled, and I do weekly water changes..

anyways, 2 of my minnows have a big white stomach and are swimming at the top of my tank behing my eheim spray bar.. my untrained eye said they were pregnant but in reading about whiteclouds I guess it doesn't work that way (they have eggs?)

one thing i read was they carry their eggs and show when they are ready to breed, and then you are supposed to take a male and female and put it in its
own tank.

anyways, just curious if anyone has experienced this, i dont have any tanks to breed em so, will they be okay if i just let time pass?
