How Soon Before These Girls Give Birth?

[kmkaeberlein]

Are these girls starting to 'square off' and close to giving birth soon? Just want others' opinions because to me it looks like it, but because Im a newbie still, I could be wrong 

 (sorry about any bad pics, my camera stinks especially when these guys like to swim like fast demons!

)

I would say that they have around a week or so to go, but it could be as soon as two or three days. You'll notice their belly begin to square off towards the back of the stomach area right when they are ready to have their fry. Good luck with your soon to come babies!

So I was not home when it happened, but one of the females has made me a... mom? grandma? She had her babies! Should I keep her separated from the rest of the girls so I can tell them apart and be able to keep track of her future babies? Is it safe to do a water change? I have plenty of plants for the babies to hide in, but got most of them out just in case. They're my first batch and I wanna make sure they will be ok. I am putting them back in there, but in the breeder net.
 
She had about 15 babies... at least from what I found and caught XD
 
I am so excited
