Pregnant Swordtail?

[jonny_dw]

Im no expert on swordtails or livebearers but I think this female swordtail I have is pregnant mainly due to the size of her and a dark spot thats visible. I was hopeing someone could confirm that she is pregnant and any ideas how long till she bursts lol.

Apologises for the poor quality pictures.

She may be a he based on that picture. If it is a female, it is not close to giving birth. In that blurry picture the anal fin looks like a gonopodium.

A female of the same species

These fish do not have swords or bright color patterns to mislead you. They force you to look at the anal fin / gonopodium to determine what you are dealing with. The absence of a sword on a swordtail or bright colors on a guppy does not mean you have a female, it mearly means that those secondary characteristics have not developed.

Sorry she's a long way off, but if well feed and happy she will be soon (guessing you have a male)
