I dunno, and I wish I could get some good pictures/video for y'all to help me confirm. I'm new to all this and my aquarium has only been up with fish in it for about a month. I got 7 socolofi along with other breeds, when I got them they were all around 2 inches... Their a little bigger now maybe 2.5 - 3 inches.
Anyway, I came home today and fed the little buggers and noticed on of the socolofi hiding in a cave at the bottom. I bent down to look and her mouth area is swollen and it looks like she keeps moving something around in her mouth, kinda like if you had a handfull of skittles in your mouth. She pretty much chases any of the other fish out of the cave or runs to an adjacent cave.
Am I describing a holding female or maybe something else is wrong with the fish? I wish I could get some pictures, but it's dark in her cave and they're not coming out too well.
