pregnant

Okay so here's the deal, my swordtail gave birth to like 10 fry yesterday morning, I had put her in the breeder box around 4am and I had taken the top off of the box and she jumped out around 6am and was swimming around normally and didn't seem like she was gonna drop the fry anytime soon, but...

I have in my Tropical Freshwater Tank at the moment amongst other fish a shoal of six Denison Barbs. One of them, however is bloated. It is the second attached picture, the first is a normal sized one and the third is the bloated one next to one of the normal ones. I have had very few casualties...

I'm hoping you all can help me.    I'm just trying to figure out if my platy really is pregnant.  She's a yellow mickey mouse platy.  She certainly looks pregnant, and has for a couple of weeks. She's been acting strange - hiding at the top of the tank by the heater/filter and hiding in a cave...

I think I have a pregnant Mickey Mouse platy.  She has been acting a bit out of the ordinary the past day or so.  She swims with the other fish, then hides for a while, then swims again, and then will sit at the top of the tank between the filter and the heater.  Is this normal?  The sitting at...

Hi there guys! I've had these mollies for a little while, and I'm just wondering. Do any of them look like they're squared off? I don't have a lot of hiding places in my tank yet, so I wouln't feel comfortable just letting nature take its course. AND, I have black gravel :/. I have a netted...

Hey Everyone,  I am new in this hobby, but I am very excited with it( I actually talk to my fish in the morning, and they know when I  am gonna feed them). Anyways, I have a tank with 1 Big Angel Fish , 7 tetras, and 3 Playes. My platys don't last too long except for a silver female that I call...

Hello again. I can't tell if one of my guppies is pregnant. I put a male in with her for a few days about a month ago. Unfortunately the female killed him while I was on vacation... He was only in her tank for about 3-5 days. I decided that my guppy was pregnant because she had a dark gravid...

Hello all.   I have a small 15 u.s gallon tank which I have set up as a planted community tank, mainly with live bearers for the enjoyment of my 5 year old boy (and myself, of course).   It is a busy little set up with plenty of plants, bog wood and live rock. It has been well cycled and has...

Hi, recently purchased 3 guppies & wondering if anyone can help out & tell me if these 2 look pregnant? I have a breeding net coming just in case & a small tank cycling now but I'm worried it's not going to be ready in time :/ Thanks in advance for any help given :)

My poor pregnant guppy I had for 3 months, and she was pregnant for the third time when suddenly she started having this odd clear string coming from what I presumed was her birth canal. It had also yellow flecks in it so I looked online and couldn't find anything relevant - maybe the beginning...

Had a few guppy fry born today, and I've got more on the way, so I figured I would start a journal about their lives. I currently have nine newborn fry and three fry that are 2.5 months old. They are all housed in a five gallon tank, along with the newborns' mother who hasn't finished giving...

I just got my swordtail fish from a pet store and have no idea on when it will have its fry. I need to know when to separate her into a separate tank. Also how many baby's do yet usually have?

How long does it take for a Glowlight once pregnant to lay her spawn.

Hi, Can you tell if my white balloon molly is pregnant? Note: * Black spots appears in her stomachs and she got very big (round). * The male is chasing her a lot. * She stays in one place (at the top of the filter and don't want moves a lot.)

Sorry.. I have a very novice and quite naive question to ask! If a female betta has a pregnant belly and haven't mate yet, will she be 'unpregnant' and back to normal??

Hi so I got 2 glass catfish and i think one is pregnant as she has a big belly on her and she is always hiding in a dark corner next to the filter but I want to know what I should do if she is pregnant. I can get pictures if u need me to. But she is defiantly bigger than the other one and she...

So before everyone tries to say "You must have a Balloon Platy" I have zero balloon platys.    Anyway, around a month ago, going on 2 months, I got a female platy. she must have been newly pregnant because it wasnt long after i purchased her, that her belly began to get rounder and rounder. Well...

So I've had my platies around 3-4 weeks now. I believe one of my females was newly pregnant when I purchased her. She is very round now and her stomach is starting to get "boxy" like everyone has said before they give birth. Her stomach has looked like this going on 2 weeks now. She has been...

I have a new tropical tank which we set up last weekend and have 4 guppies in it.   Now the issue i have is that 2 of the guppies are female and are pregnant. What is the best way to handle this?   As its such a new tank it has not cycled yet and so will the introduction of the fry be harmful?  ...

Currently in a hatchery, been in tank for around a month and a half, rarely comes out. Definitely female. Please help! Any suggestions and questions are welcome!  

It has been awhile since I have kept platys and I was wondering if you all could boost my memory.    One of my females is  VERY pregnant, it seems that the bottom of her stomach is "flat-round" and her anal vent is swollen i believe. she is still very active.   Could it be time for her to give...

Hi, I am slightly panicking at the moment because I am unsure as to 2 things going on in my tank. Firstly my tiger barb is very fat and I'm almost 100% sure she's pregnant. However I have just noticed a green splodge about 1cm by 1cm with darker green dots in the middle on the side of the tank...

Hi So it has been quite a long time since I have kept fish, recently I got 6 platies for my tank. I wasnt trying to breed them so I chose them randomly, sure enough I ended up with 3 males and 3 females (one of which could be a late developing male, i cant really tell, but we will just stick...

Hello everyone, I've been preparing for my blue Fancy guppy I bought from Pet Quarters to give birth (she was pregnant when I bought her). And today while she (Fionna) was in the breeder trap, I noticed that my Orange female (yet to be named) was boxed off. I'd never seen a boxed off guppy in...

Hi All, I am quite new to fish keeping, only been doing it for about a year. I have had my platys now for about 5 months and I have noticed that definitely one, maybe two are rounder in the belly. At first I thought they had just eaten more than normal, but they aren't getting smaller, so now...

I have 7 pineapple platy fry that are aprox. 2 months old and their mother is pregnant again. They have their own ten gallon tank for them to grow in until they are big enough to be put with the adults. They have plenty of room and the tank has great levels in ph, temp ect. I'd say the babies...
