Hi.

Well let me put it this way.

Ive had now a Female Sword that have een fully pregnant for more that 2 months and havnt dropped.In the meentime my Gupy have dropped after 3 weeks.

Apparently they only drop when they feel safe.Give it another 2 weeks.

Gestation period for guppies and platies tends to be lower than for mollies and swordtails, as is the size of the batches of fry dropped.

Temperature also affects when they drop, to some degree, along with how stressed out the fish is.

Did you get the fish recently? If so, she might not drop the first time, or if she does it'll be a smaller batch.
