my dino fish has got a bigger tummy then the rest! how can you tell if its pregnant?

Answer 1

when its belly gets realy big and fat then i will start laying eggs in a few months

Answer 2

I don't know what a dino fish is, maybe you mean a danio or zebra fish? They are egglayers, so they don't become pregnant. The females can swell up with eggs and will then lay the eggs, which the males will fertilize.

The fish could also be bloated, a sign that it is sick. If the scales of the fish are standing out so that it looks like a pinecone, it may have a disease called dropsy. Dropsy is very serious and usually fatal, and other fish can catch it, so definitely take a close look at your fish.

Answer 3

Molly, Swords, Guppy's are live bearers as compared to egg layers, and if its a Danio then you have a egg layer and when she is ready to spawn, the male will be dancing & chaseing her about.Generally after a nice Water change. Don't count on having too many baby's though, most egg layers and live bearers do eat a certain amount of eggs and fry....

Accordingly, in reference to one of the above posts, Dropsy is not contagiouse. It a symptom, or rather a set of symptoms which usually and in most cases denote internal organ failure and it is 99.9% fatal. A fish that only has a few raised scales may be merely a bacterial infection and in those cases we do see a cure with proper treatment. There is a difference despite the long running word of mouth myth's and legends... :) So I wouldn't worry about this unless your seeing scales raising anyway!

Fish carrying eggs have a symetricle and generally smoothly uniform shape when viewd to all angles, there is a roundness to that, bulging to one side or prominent location when viewd top, bottom or side, could be a tumor or cyst starting to expand, and egg bound females will just keep getting a heavier bloated look to a point of being abnormal or disporportiently and extrememly large.

COMMON NAMES:
• Violet Goby
• Dragon Eel
BREEDING:
• Egg-layers
To my knowledge, it has not been successfully bred in the home aquarium, but it should not be too difficult if a large enough tank is provided and both sexes are present. I cannot even tell you how to determine the sex of the fish, as the only times I have seen mature fish in any quantity have been in collecting seines in southern Mexico. If I had to guess, I would give them a large tank filled with hard, alkaline water with a decent amount of salt in it. Aquascaping could consist of a shallow layer of sand, a couple of large rocks and some pieces of driftwood. An efficient power filter should be used on the tank. Feed the fish heavily on worms, shrimp, scraped beef heart and cut fish. From then on, I would follow proper aquarium maintenance techniques and let nature take its course. Perhaps, if you are truly interested in this fish, you will be able to spawn them.
