Preggo Oto?

defishfan · 08-30-2006, 10:37 PM

Does anyone have a photo of an pregnant Oto showing eggs? I've heard that the yellow eggs can be seen through the lower abdomen. My largest Oto is showing some major yellow recently, and I'm hoping it might be preggo. I've got a pretty good photo on my other comp. I'll try to post it before this weekend.

Here's the pic. If I ever find new Otos, I'll let you guys know. If anyone's got pics of a confirmed momma, let me know, or post em. haha Pay no attention to the cherry barb. They can be attention-hungry.

That's a good link. I thought it was to another similar discussion which wasn't as good. This one is informative. Not many decent pics of the female showing eggs, so we'll see. Unfortunately the tank is heavily planted and I'm not home much, so I'll never catch the courtship or eggs, but hopefully I'll find mystery fry sometime soon. I've got 5 Otos in this tank, and I'm pretty sure they're 3 males and 2 females, and all buddy-buddy. If I ever see babies, I'll update this thread. Thanks again for the help.
