New swordtails

[tank212]

I just got 3 pineapple swordies today I love them. I am hopping they will have babies I got an empty 5gal for the fry. Can someone show me a pic of a pregnant swordie. I'm sure mine aren't pregnant but I would like to see a pic of one. Thanks!

what gender ratio did you get? the best for three swords would be 1m:2f. if you have two males, either they'll fight for dominance or harass the female too much.

yeah 1m/2f I also got the same ratios of balloon mollys and platies in the same tank 1m/2f of each.

Here is a pregnant marigold lyretail swordtail. She is due at any time. Just took the pictures today,

Ahh thanks polardbear I am thinking of getting a trio for my 10gal too but I don't know which kind to get. BTW shes a pretty girl. Maybe not tho since they get pretty big I'd probably be pushing it.

I got one question about when she does have babies would it be ok if I moved her to a tank with about 3 female guppies it has breeding grass so the babies can hide.
