Betty, Sorry to hear about the female - isn't a hollow belly a sign of an internal parasite or something? I have a potential female that seems to have swelled over the weekend to twice it's normal width. It doesn't seem to be in distress and they were not fed over the weekend as the fish are at work. Thoughts?
