Fish Crazy
My swordtail (a live bearer) was definitely pregnant yesterday (its stomach was growing for the past 1-2 weeks). It stomach was bloated and there was a dark black spot. Now I looked at the fish again and it isn't as big as before but there is still a black spot and it is still not its normal size. There are no fry in the containment tank, and there are no dead fry/remains. I had bred swordtails once before so I understand a bit how they breed. However I don't remember the fish reducing in size before it gives birth. The swordtail is separate from the other fish. The section where the female fish is in is about 1/5 of the tank. The tank is 60 liters.
Whats the problem? Did I separate the female too early from the tank? Or is everything fine?
