Pregnant or bloated?

Question
I have flat head minnows in a pond. As you problally know they are very small.
I'm not real sure how to tell if it is pregnant or just bloated. I have about 15
or so of them. This one lookes the biggest among them all. I've watched it for
about 3 weeks and it seems to get larger. So my question would have to be, how
do i know for sure?


Answer
Hi Amber;

If the fish acts normal and doesn't seem sick, it probably is ready to spawn. They are egglayers but I really don't know much about them. Here is a web page that I found that may help;
