Can I just say, my Swordtail didn't turn out to be pregnant, se had a server illness, although we are not sure what it was. It caused her scales to stick up and bloated her stomach. It was awful when we found her dead :-(
My Goldfish Harvey I won at a fair is now in his new 19L tank with his new besty Kiwi who I bought as a friend for him cos I felt bad that he was alone :( xxx
Linking to my other question, my female swordtail has very suddenly changed shape. She is more boxy shaped and fatter. Is she pregnant, or jet weird? :P Also if she is pregnant, how long until she gives birth? Thanks :)
I would just use which ever technique is less stressful and painful for the fish. I personally think the clove oil is a god idea, freezing to death would be a painful and not very nice way to go in my opinion :-( xx
