When will I see a sword?

[cometcattle]

My swordtail fry are about 11 weeks old. I have about 12 of them.

So far, they all appear to be females.

They range in size from 1cm to 2cm.
Most are about 2cm.

Oh and they've been out of the breeder net for two weeks, swimming in a 10g community.

Is there a chance that all 12 could be ladies?

Yes, there is a chance that they are all females, but it's most likely that they're not. They should probably get their swords in about another couple of weeks.

She was pregos when I bought her. It took about 3 weeks for her to drop.

She was in a Petsmart tank with alot of males/females.

She dropped a 2nd batch about 3 weeks ago, but I didn't seperate. Looks to be due again in about 10 days.

I only have 1 male sword, he's about 2yrs old. He's been with a few different females, no fry, so I think he is sterile.
