Pregnant Jack Dempsey?

[RiverMonsterFisher]

Ya I think the correct term is "gravid".

I have never had JDs spawn before but my other fish just look fatter and rounder when they are full of eggs (gravid). They can lay eggs when they look normal and skinny as well though.

Her tummy is rounder.

Mine ate a lot, her tummy got big, and she and the male started chasing off the other fish and claimed half of the tank for themselves. After she laid the eggs, her stomach looks normal and she has become her normal, shy self. This is experience talking. Ive got a few hundred eggs on a rock in my tank right now. If you think she might lay eggs soon, put a flat rock in the tank. They like to lay them on rocks, the bigger(up till around 6"x6") and flatter the better. Also don't be surprised if they lay eggs while still little. Mine is only 3.5-4", the male is around 5".

Ok. I will pick up a rock. My female is 7 and my male is almost 10.
