Gravid Snowball?

Post by Mike343 »

Managed to get this quick pic of my snowball who is a little shy. Is this enough to tell if it's a gravid female? It plumped up a week ago and none of the others have. I don't think it's overfeeding but slightly worried it could be blocked up.

looks like a female if you ask me. But I might be terrible off. So consider other peoples oppinions :D

Also keep a good eye on her. They can get gravid within a few days. But it could still be some health issue as well.

Thank you, she appears very healthy otherwise and is active at night. I am taking precaution with feeding algae wafers over pellets this week.
