What Does A Pregnant Freshwater Fish Look Like?
How do i know if my fish is pregnant?

Most pregnant fish will have a swollen belly. Egg laying fish will usually look pretty swollen. Some egg layers just scatter their eggs in the water, but other egg layers will actually tend with their eggs and take care of their young which are called "fry". Livebearing fish like platys and mollies give birth to living swimming babies and sometimes may turn right around and eat them after they give birth to them. With live bearing fish, you can see a dark spot in their lower belly. This is actually the eyes of the baby fish inside the mother.
