How Far On Is She?

[les_251181]

Ok, so we've established the below female swordtail is pregnant, but how far on do you think she is? i've got two more who don't seem as far on as her. but i've never had fry before and am wondering if you think she's close to dropping her fry? she's still swimming around, but does a lot of lurking at the back of the tank. the other two pregnant females are much more active.

thanks

would you have a look at the links to the pics and see if you think she's pregnant?

she's huge, the male keeps pecking at the rear end... and she's not overly active, seems to like a very slow wim around or just to sit at the back of the tank.

thanks

she is very far on indeed, if you look at my pinned thread (top link in this section)

You will see a bit more in detail how to know.

shes pregnant love look at the black at the back of her there the frys eyes cool eh , when that gets bigger and she looks as tho shes going to pop and starts hidding thats near the time she will give birth .if want to keep the fry id put them in different tank when born just make sure the tank is ok with nitrate , nitrite and amonia

ooh yay! baby swordtails on the way then!

i've got a breeding trap floating in there ready to put her in when she looks ready.

how long would you say she has left?

the male is bugging the hell outta her at the moment
