Rainman, I have some 3 to 4 inch that are about 4 months old that I guess are females because they are real heavy in the belly with what I guess are eggs. They move around slower than the rest of the tilapia in the tank. They are not in pairs, just move around by themselves. This has been going on for about a week. Two of the fish look like they are about to pop. Should they not be in pairs by now? This is new to me. Thanks Ricky
