Swordtail Bout To Drop?

[Rex740]

My swordtail has been hanging around the bottom of the tank, usually behind a certain plant, for a week (maybe more). She still comes up to eat during feeding time. Is she about to drop?

i read one of your other topics on your 3 pregnant fish, sounds like she is hovering around the plant because there are fry hiding and she just waiting for the right moment, take a good look for fry in your tank. if she been there for 1 week its not cause she dropping her fry or about to, 1 week is too long for a complete drop

Shes been there for a week or more but the other fish just gave birth today or yesturday. The swordtail hides behind plant. Whats wrong with her? she is pregnant so im not sure.

trust me, your platy would have more than likely dropped some last week. dont worry she is perfectly fine, but on the save side check your water stats to give an understanding to what could be another reason for her doing this

I checked yesturday, everything is fine... how do i know when she will drop....

even though its a different fish the pic of the platy on your other post will give you an idea as both platy and sword are the of the same family group
that platy had her fry 20 mins later
