Hey everyone, I live at college and I normally go home on weekends, well my swordtail waited to have her fry this past weekend.... Ever since I got back on Sunday she hadn't been acting right, and then this morning I found her dead in the back corner of the tank. :-( Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be. If it was from giving birth would it have taken her this long to die? She didn't seem sick at all before having the babies, so I am really confused as to what could have happened? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
What are your test results in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate and ph, they can die a few days after giving birth.
 
everything is at 0... Ph is about 7..... temp is 76-78?
 
Are you sure your nitrate is at 0, what's your tap water in nitrate, and do you have live plants.
 
How old roughly do you think the fish is, has you had alot of batches of fry, as this can decrease there lifespan.
