Difference between heavy breathing and holding eggs

3133 Views 10 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  cichlidaholic
I have a female Salousi that I'm not sure if she is holding eggs or breathing hard from stress.
I can't get a good view to see if her buccal cavity is full.

I've read in the forums that a sick or stressed fish can look as to have labored breathing. Does that resemble tumbling eggs in her mouth?

Thanks,
Tony

Doesn't look like she is holding to me, personally. Looks like labored breathing to me. Sorry :(
