I think she is. I think that she is holding... I am not entirely sure. She is staying in the cave won't eat... and under her mouth is a little bulging compared to the other females. Lets keep our fingers crossed!  |

It would be better to see her from the side, but it looks very promising! Does she keep her mouth clamped shut? Does she juggle what's in her mouth?

Unfortunately I am only able to see her from the front... but yeah... she will not open her mouth to smell, as I have been told that is what they are doing... and every so often she looks like she is drinking with her mouth shut.

Yes and if you don't have a small tank to keep the fry in you might want to fashion a net to hang in the tank and put them in there. Otherwise they may easily get eaten. Will you be allowing them to spit on their own or will you be stripping the fry?

I haven't decided yet... I want to try to strip... but I don't want to stress the girls out... I have tank that I can use for a couple of weeks or so, so the fry will be living it it till they are close to safe size.

It's gonna take longer than a couple of weeks to have them a safe size to be in with the parents. You're looking at several months really. But if you have the tank to start them off that's one thing down. Gives you a little time to get something else set up.
