[MadMan-JaMeS]

Hi,

i just got 3 Swordtails from my neighbour he's got a tank full lol !

and one is looking rather pregnant and i can see a big black spot near he anal fin......

any idea how long she's got till she drops ?

i don't wanna put her in my breeding trap just yet but want her to have the babies in their so i can watch them....

i mean, she looks pretty darn pregnant... it's so hard to tell when though. my balloon molly looks like she's about to explode, but i don't know when she's gonna have them. yours looks big as well, i'd give it a few days, but i may be wrong

what kind of fish is the one in the background that seems to have taught itself how to use a camera? haha ;-)

she does look quite pregnant doesnt she id say youve got at least a few days to wait. but i could be wrong so keep an eye on her and when she looks to get a square belly thats when its close

Are those silk plants?

I found with my female she was really close when she started almost bouncing off of things or the ground. It was two days from when that started to when she gave birth. It seems thats pretty common for platties and swords. She looks huge though!

She got a lovely body shape to her, and your got a stunning fish. you got some good photo's as well, what camera do u have?

She very large and yes I'm sure like everyone else has said you have fry soon, as for timeing you can never be sure.

Good luck though.
