Has anyone else ever noticed color changes in females when they become pregnant? I noticed it on my old motoro female and now my marble lightened up big time within the past few days.....
 
i have only noticed color changes when my ph gets outa wack.
 
lol, ph is fine, my old normal motoro got darker... my marble just got really light compared to what she use to be.... I guess i will find out in about 1-2 months...
 
Didn't notice any color change when mine was pregnant.
 
Do pregnant females breath heavily ? Mine seems to breath very heavily and they are only into 50+ days, should i start worrying ?
 
Yes they do change color when they get impregnated. I have seen this often, with Marbleds and Henleis. I have not seen this with Leos or p14 yet but do not have enough experience breeding them uptill now. In a years time I will no more about breeding thes types aswell.
Could be stress, could be hormones but something happens. They get a whiteish veil over them and look unhealthy for a couple of days. Sometimes stop eating during this period, especially if they are unexperienced females.
