last week i separated my prego female with a tank divider , i have noticed now that she is not eating very much..it may take her 10 min. to eat 10 massivore pellets (normally in seconds she would eat that much...)

I wonder if it is because now she does not have to compete for food, or if she has lost her appetite and is about to POP...i I have also noticed that the water keeps getting cloudy (a couple of days after a water change) where normally i only do 1 large water change once a week, now i am doing 2 large ones a week. to keep my water clear. she is HUGe and at about day 81 or so.

My last litter she ate very aggressively up to the day and ate a bunch, also never noticed the cloudy water. She went 101 days then.
 
My female would stop eating a few days before giving birth too. Even a few weeks before, her appetite would begin to decrease.

seems to early for her to birth yet any other thing could cause stress?

Nothing other than the divider, when i posted pictures everybody said she looks way to big to be as far along as she was, and that she should pop early...

She is eating, just not much..
