Wow. She's all sorts of fat and chunky! Maybe she does have a nice store of eggs! :)
she is definitly fat in the belly... never before like this.. i just hope if there are eggs i am around to see them with the camera.. thanks:D
 
any possibility that they start out as both female and as they grow if there is not a male present the largest female converts to a male to keep the species alive? i know there are some fish that do this.... ie lunare wrasse, possibly how you both wound up with pairs.

congrats liz ;) so nice to see them again. havent talked to you in forever, glad there thriving.
 
Oh yea, Liz I forgot to tell youuuu:

I'm not sure it matters, but I saw a thread a long time ago with someone breeding angelfish due to lack of water changes for a week. I was super busy when mine laid eggs, so I didn't change the water when she had the fins, but I did a freshwater top-off.

So try not to change the water, I don't think it matters, but it worked for me :D
