do female bellies stay big after breeding?

[foti]

hello il start by saying i think i finally got my abnlf to breed like clock work
i just wanted to know tho,
do your females stay big after breeding?

reason being, she is give or take 14cm so quite big and i have had the pleaser of catching the male and female breed this being the second time

i know that she lays but she comes out the same as she goes in ? is that normal?

does she hold back on eggs ?

i dont know how many she lays but i get about 80 fry !

the bigger your girl is.. they look less deflated after laying eggs...
small girls look huge then come out with a noticably lean stomach....
hope that helps you out....

thank you John i was just hoping she wasn't holding out on some eggs lol
or prohaps male gets too exited and kicks her out early?

i think she lays all she wants, but those with more body fat, well fed plump ladies do not look as small after laying eggs
