Crazyfishlady Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 So, I have a handful of saddled snowballs (and woot - my neon yellow is saddled as of today!!!) But - there is one snowball female that I am worried about, her saddle seems HUGE compared to the others. She is eating and seems ok, but is this normal? First pic is of her, the other is one of the other females. The other females have much smaller saddles so I don't know if this is a worry or not. The HUGE saddle the others have saddles like this or smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeGuy411 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I just had a super saddled cherry, it was saddled for about three weeks. I came in yesterday and she laid the eggs and boy is she fat, the eggs are hanging out below her and drag when she walks. Its pretty awesome actually this little 1.75g tank has produced about 60 babies since october. Crazyfishlady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinn Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Holy...I've never seen any shrimp with such a huge saddle. I did however have one BD shrimp produce at least twice the amount of eggs as my other BDs Soothing Shrimp, Merth, Crazyfishlady and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roborep1 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Crazyfishlady saw this in the store today. I think you should call them and see if they have an action figure for fish.

Crazyfishlady Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 ha ha, love it!!! My kids have said the same kind of thing. I told them being the crazy fish lady is better than the crazy cat lady (we have one cat). No vet bills, food is cheaper and they are way less needy. My boys are learning to just deal with it. Now when a package comes my youngest just puts it on my bed and says "you got more fish stuff'. He refused to differentiate between the bettas and the shrimp and calls them 'fish'. I did mention that when he moves out I'm turning his room into a fish room, he did not see the humor in that Then I went for the guilt and told them they are older now (27 and 15) and that I don't see them much now and how it's a hobby to keep me happy. That shut them up - I'm a pro ha ha slycat929 and chibikaie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
