How Long Left?

wow! ok.

have put Juliet (green swordtail) and Big Orange (swordtail) into the breeding trap with the divider. lights out, little bit of munchy stuff for them... and now a waiting game starts.

Is it a floating trap? (plastic, see-through)

>>> It may be a bit cramped if it's the normal sized trap.....even one per trap is not enough space for Swordtails, and if they get stressed they can delay/abort Pregnancy.......Maybe another trap, or a netting-type trap would be better., which are bigger and the fry drop through the holes......(?)

Expect around 15-20, then further batches on a regular basis. (Mine have them every 3 weeks!)

Yes, the Fry I have currently are 6wks, and 3wks old from one mother, and 4wks/ 1wk. old from the other Swordtail, as I noted the dates down, ......Lucky Male I have in the main tank!! (Temp is 27 C. which could be a factor)
