How old is the male? If you don't know that, how large is the male?

Females will store sperm for 6 months or so, if they have been with other males in the shop then they should have a good chance, even though if your male is a poor one.
Firstly though what other fish do u keep as they usually produce 30 fry at a time and to get one sounds like the other have been eaten.
What size is the tank and what filtration do u have?

They said they haven't even had one fry.
I don't know what to say. Probably adding another male if you have the space and want babies.

How long is the gonopodium on the male? I've nearly purchased beautiful fish with enlongated "breeding tools" but those are generally in some of the different types of swordtails, like my lyretails.

Is it okay to have more then one male swordtail in a tank though? I've read before that one male swordtail would kill another if they were in the same tank!?!?!?!??

They do like a lot of space swords, and i'll say that there should be no more than 1 male per squire foot of surface area
