Question
Hi there!
Is my fish pregnant? If so what do I do?
well we have two fish they are balloon gupy's and one of them is huge. It looks like it swallowed a marbel. It is also getting reddish on its back and bumm area. It has been sitting on the bottom rocks. We have been seeing what looks like eggs that are black. Please help. OR princesskate92@hotmail.com

Thank-you,
Meagan and Katelyn.

Answer
Hi Meagan and Katelyn,
  It could be pregnant, in which case it will release the babies when it is ready.  In other words, there really isn't anything you can do to help it.
