my swordtail gave birth about 1 1/2- 2 weeks ago, after that she was real skinny, almost like her mate. okay, weird occurance, i was feeding my fish last night and saw that she had a slightly orange gravid spot and thoght she was on her way to giving birth again, like 2 or 3 weeks left. but just now recently i saw her, and she is HUGE, like from my last post about her when she was pregnant, and some users said from the pictures that she had like 2 weeks left but, as i already said she gave birth much sooner than that, like three days later. now, my question is, did she really give birth and then get pregnant 2 weeks later?
or did she almost give birth, then reabsorb them? and now is really going to have them? OR, was she never really pregnant but fat, but her male pal would be the same if she was just a pig because they eat the most out of all my fish. so i have no idea if you want pics check out my other post on her when she was about to give birth, one last thing I never saw her have the babies, i just assumed because i saw her one day and she was skinny and i thought my super fast danios and barbs had a nice snack, also when i saw her skinny her gravid spot was gone.


if you are confused with any of this please ask in a reply, thank you
 
ummmm well thats a lot of stuff but I'd have to say she probably was never pregnant in the irst place OR when you knew she was pregnant first her gravid spot was hard to see and then now, you noticed how big she was..... Those are my only two ideas. Good luck!
 
I don't know about reabsorbtion it sounds a little too soon for her to get pregnant again.
