Green Lyretail Swordtail Not Giving Birth For 3 Months!

[swordtail_king83]

i have a green lyretail female sword i aquired 3 months ago. she is HUGE, her gravid spot is extremely wide, her belly is square, has been since day one, i dont think her stomach can stretch anymore!. she has been with many males in the mean time because im trying to get her to either drop her load of fry that may be in her that wont come out or try to get her pregnant, she was with a red.white male, they barely mated, now i put her with an albino koi male and he only acknowledged her when i first put him in the tank a month and a half ago, she is still the same size, she hasnt gave birth yet, she still looks like she is over due from 3 months ago, cud she just be full of eggs maybe and no male wants to ever mate her?? if it is eggs and since no one mates her wuddnt the eggs get re absorbed meaning theoretically she shud have went back to a slim shape like a normal female sword?? the temp was 78-80f, i raised it to 82f still no fry. shes still incredibly fat like a bubble lol. her gravid spot is still wide as ever. just like day one 3 months ago. any ideas?

Welcome to our forum Swordtail_king83.
You may well have a late developing male swordtail. I have had swordtails as old as 2 years before they started growing a sword and their anal fin showed the gonopodium shape. The whole time, those males looked a good deal like heavy females but the other males pretty much ignored them because they knew I did not have a female.
