With swords, mollies and platies, it is more difficult to predict when the due date is.
The best advice i can give you is, wait be patient, and keep an eye on her.
What ever you decide to do, (keep the female in the tank to have the fry in there, and then fish them out, or put her in a seperate breeder) if you keep a look out, you will be successfulllllll.
keep us updated

Take it from me.. I have 3 swords which are pregnant (ie GRAVID SPOT) but its been a week since I've been watching them and nothing so far. (SIGH!!!)

However, got the guppies after them and their tummys are blowing as anything.. they're going bigger and bigger..

I think I'm just gonna shift the SWORDS to the main tank and leave the GUPPIES in the breeders one... Cant risk it.. they might eat my soon to come guppy fries..

All i can say is:

"Best thing comes to those who wait"
