Is This Helleri Pregnant?

[inkas91]

Hello,
 
I am wondering if this helleri is pregnant. What is your opinion?

Very nice fish!  And yes, she looks like it to me. I'd say 2 weeks along or somewhere around there, but I can't be sure.  She hasn't started to square off or anything. Are you planning on keeping the fry?  If so, I'd recommend you get some plants (fake or real) so they can hide.  Good luck!

yes yes she is
 
I think it would be about 3=4 weeks until she releases

I bought her 2 weeks ago and they told me she's pregnant, but I can't see anything different with her for those 2 weeks. Or maybe I can't notice the difference because I see her every day. I think it takes them about ~25 days to have babies? Yes, I plan to keep the fries, but they will stay in a different aquarium till they get big enoguh so that they won't be a meal for bigger fishes. And also, can anyone tell me what kind of fish I need to have ones like those? I've heard that different kinds of fishes can interbreed.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but she looks like a swordtail.  Here's a link: http/www.fishandtips.com/displaydb.php?ID=8

Thats a Kohaku Swordtail and yes they will breed with other swordtail's, intact all swordtail and platies can also cross breed as a general rule.
