pregnant saulosi?

[Tstove15]

I am starting to think that one of my female saulosi's are pregnant. The reasons why is becuase it is always sitting by itself in the bottom right corner of the thank and fends off any other fish coming by. Second is that i drop food right into that spot and it goes up to the food but does not attempt to open her mouth because i am assuming she is holding eggs? Thrid is that her mouth got a lot bigger and it looks like she is holding something in there. Kind of like a fish is packing a lip lol. So does anyone think she is? and what are some precuations to take?

sorry about the iphone pics

I would like to keep the fry and not let them get eaten or will the first batch be duds and not survive? i can have another tank 15g tank up and running with in a couple days but will this be better for her being by herself? and i have no clue how long she has been holding..i would guess around a week but then again that is just a guess....

I would separate her and let her spit them o her own. Usually they hold for about 3-4 weeks. Then you can let her spit on her own or strip the fry.
