All 4 of the females have this spot and i have only found mentions of 'black' spots and not of red so this is what has thrown me.
Any genereal tips on plants to buy that will help the lil fry survive?
Any guestimates on how long till they girls will 'pop'
oh and i'd be interested to know if other ppl think she is preg or not too
Cheers in Advance

hi,
some times the gravid spot can look redish,
if all four have this im sure they are pregnant, looking at the pic i would say she was about 2 weeks gone, my sword has fry every 4-5 weeks, bushy live plants are best for fry to hide in,

hi,
feed up your mums on blood worm and brine shrimp, as for the fry all i gave mine were fine crushed up flake and when they were bigger shrimp, they do find food in the main tank if they survive not being eaten you will have the best strongest ones left, good luck, Donna

Here's a photo of my tank any tips on any arrangments to best suit possible fry plz advise!!!
Also note the pic is pre water change hence it being a lil merky.
I have
26 Neon tetras
5 Spectra Neons
1 Black Widow Tetra
5 'other' Tetra's
5 Swordtails
1 Clown Loach (other 2 died after a bad case of white spot)
2 Gourami
6 Tiger Barbs (very placid)
3 Rosy Barbs (very placid)
3 Cherry Barbs (only agressive to themsleves)
2 Chech Rams.
The Tank is a rio 180
I dont think fry have much chance as it is with all the barbs as it is so any tips will be for a good cause lol

hi
yes i know what you mean with barbs,
just lots of plants really, in my 180 i use to have a net breeder hanging at the back ready to scoop up any fry, the fry use to hide behind this and in the floating plants where the other fish could not get to them,
shame about the clowns, i lost all 5 of mine to white spot.

yeah i lost my clowns 3 weeks after i bought them
when i first added them the tigers were very aggresive to them but one clown which i think is the one who survived used to fight back and is now become one of the gang. i honestly believe it think its a tiger as where ever the tigers are so is the clown.

yes it could be the markings,
as you know clowns like to be with a group, i had one that lasted a week after i lost the others who swam with platys.
