Hi to every1 does any1 no what signs to look for when swordtail is about give birth to her fry? My swordtail is in the 4th week and is showing no signs at all ive managed to breed guppies no problem there so easy to tell when their about to give birth. my first swordtail died before giving birth so naturally im eager for her to give birth i have never put any of my guppies into a breeder tank and have always managed to catch all their fry well pretty much all but my swordtail has a very long developed tail so i wont put her in one just need some sings to look out for she has a white patch on her bum and has been there for over a week is this a sign and sits at the bottom alot but is not showing any signs of being unwell so is this two a sign please help an impatient person ME! :sad:
 
If it's a sword then yes it a male, but a pic would help and as some guppies have swords as well, swords get much larger males getting to 3-4" and females getting up to 5-6"
