DOH! Female Swordtail had her Babies

[loafybones]

My female Swordtails were preggers and one of them had the babies before I had chance to catch them!
Is there any chance of me catching any of the babies? I can't see any but I thought they might be hiding. I've got some bogwood that they could hide in and a couple of rocks and some plants, could she have hidden somewhere to give birth and the fry are in there?

I would search the tank, those little buggers can hide real good!!
Goodluck!!

If you have gravel substrate they usually dive in there!!! (past expenience with large peagravel)

Mine usually hide behind filter house and the side of the glass!!! extreemly annoying.

Float some plants on the waters surface then when the lights go out they may emerge from there hiding place when they search for food. check following morning before lights come on.

Worth a try!!!!
