pregnant motoro

[rED O]

I have a question. I am thinking I may have a pregnant motoro. They are about 15'' big. In a 500 gallon where i feed them quite well. I also keep the water super clean. Anyways, about a month ago the male was harrasing the female to breed. Chasing her, bitting her, then I saw the male try to start spawning with her, but the female swam away. He started then to really beat on her. I have kept the lights off or to a dim when i wanted them to breed. I kepted feeding them well and eventually the male quit beating on the female. The female eats way more then she did before too. Its been almost a month since I think they spawned. How long does it take before you can see a noticeable difference in the females size to see for sure if she is pregnant?

thanks for taking the time to read this.

you will be able to notice a size increase after about 5 weeks, you should see movement at around 50-60 days then you will know forsure, it will be a long 100 days

you can click my link below and see what it looks like when you see movement, i should have some videos.
