Jag acting weird...possible egg layer?

[Donny417]

So I have a pair of Jag's in my tank, and the female has dug a hole all the way to the bottom glass and is just chilling out over the spot wiggling around by the other Jag, who I think is a male, and she's chasing off all my other fish; even the Festae's that are significantly larger than her.

What else is weird, there is what looks to be a pink turd hanging about 1/8" out of her vent area, and she's a little swollen.

Also, my Festae pair are extremely red with midnight black strips and they're acting weird too. I'm thinking of doing another waterchange or something?

Anyone have any ideas? I can try to snap a few pics...

I suck at taking fish pictures. I don't even know if the other jag is a male although he is darker and smaller than the female. The "male" I raised from a juvie, and he's only a year old or so. What should I do? I can't have anymore fish! I'm maxed out in all my tanks, except for a 35 gallon that has neons...

Congrats on your upcoming newlyweds, if you don't have any room you could use the fry as feeders or always send the swarm of fry to someone of MFK or a lfs.

Well, if the she lays eggs and they hatch, I'll post on here and I'll send anyone who wants fry for free (they just have to pay for shipping), or I'll just give them to my LFS as I have a good relationship with them.

I want to sell all my fish except my pike and plecto so I can have a pike tank. I just love the sound of that... "pike tank" lol

Ok, this is freaking me out. She keeps laying on a moss covered rock wiggling around on her stomach and this nasty pink tube thing is hanging out of her.

WTF is going on with this??? Is she laying eggs or dying?
