Anyway, you can buy floating fry mops from some fish stores, try anything you can think of that will float and hang down into the water an inch or so. One idea is to get a couple of ping pong balls and pierce a tiny hole in each one, then get some short strips of coloured plastic, tie the plastic into small bunches using wire, then shove the wire into the hole in the ball, they should float, remember, it's doesn't have to look good, it's only there to serve a purpose for a couple of weeks till any babies are big enough not to be eaten.

When Dark your seeing all the eyes,
when light in color (say pinkish) your seeing the babies bodies
ITS COMPLETLY NORMAL
I have 2 females that will do that, 1 day it will be black, and she has the babies, then when she's preggers again it will switch around as it gets closer to due date, I've even bee able to see the babies move around

But she has had her babies when the gravid spot was pink and black, just depends on which way the babies want to be facing that day
