l183 female with eggs?

hi there i noticed today one of my fish looks really swollen, would i be right in saying this could possibly be eggs? i do think she looks egg bound. or is another problem i have been doing water changes for the last week http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b79/dj_speed_uk/belly.jpg http://i17.photobu...

hi there, i personally do not think it is too high for them, ive kept mine for 2 years, at a tds of about 250, i personally think it would be easier to spawn if the tds were a bit higher as the big change(lowering) in the tds is beleived to be the main trigger. :D though i may be wrong
