I have been talking to Mike about this and this is what I have witnessed. The other day I thought she was going to for surely blow but nothing. She stopped eating, turned the colors I told you. She has not eaten in 4 days as I was away.

1. Increase appetite
2. loss of activity
3. Male doesnt come near her....and used to.
4. Tail sometimes goes black and body turns golden.
5. Tail does not touch the ground

Before anybody questions ammonia or anything like that please know that this pond is filtered better than an olympic pool and I take better care of my rays than I do myself...except I don't live in a pond in my basement

honesltly Tim based on these pictures I would have to say i dont believe she is pregnant.

Alright Mike. I was hoping you wouldnt say that..... I would definately like her knocked up but as the other two are mating and that female has had pups I guess I will just continue to wait.


Brent side views are difficult at this time due to the pond but when she is back in here tankid I will do so.

The pond is 6x4x2 and it is just temporary. These babies got a big slice of my renovation budget~!
 
from the 4th pic i would say she is preg

if the male is breeding with another female chances are shes not
