swordtail

My tank currently has: 30 Gallons. six guppies. Six platy's. Four sword tail. All breeding has seemed to stop, one girl is two months over due and should be having her babies once again, though right now I'm treating the water for bacteria. How long until after they are ready to start breeding...

Hi, My female swordtail has been progressively getting bigger. I had a male a little while back & he died. So im just looking to get some confirmation regarding whether or not she is pregnant.   -Thanks

I just found out my platies are really swordtails... I know they're basically the same but I'm bummed out now. My name is a lie.. I'm not a platy mamma I'm a swordtail mamma

Hey! So if I have platies and swordtails in a tank will they easily crossbreed?  I know they are closely related, but if I have a male of their species will they only want to breed with him?

I have a 30 gallon that is going to be redone.  I read up on some of your guy's ideas and have kind of put together another possibility.   I would want a betta, hopefully I can get a female betta, male if I have to 4-7 neon tetras a few breeds of livebearers, probably mollies, guppies, and...

Hi there, I recently purchased one female and one male swordtail, I have had them in my community tank for about 12 days. I am really keen for my swordtail to have fry, but I am not sure if she is pregnant or not! I will attach an image of the fish below.. If the fish is not pregnant I would...

Hello. i purchased a male swordtail from walmart. he is living in a 10 gallon with lots of other fish. for some reason, he always hides either in front of or behind a large lava rock, or near the top by the filter and he just sits there for hours, wiggling. ive had him for about a week and a...

I've got a 70L tank with (or rather had!) 4 Swordtails, 1 Male + 3 Females and a small Pleco. The tank has only been running for 3 weeks but I didn't do a cycle. I added API Stress Coat & Stress Zyme then left the filter running for 3 days. Went to Pets at Home (Sadly the only place stocking...

Hello, I have a 70l tank which is currently home to 4 Swordtails (1 Male, 3 Female) and have a feeling one of the females is pregnant.   I am totally new to Tropical Fish keeping so I could be completely wrong, however the dark spot (gravid spot?) near her bottom is getting darker by the day.  ...

Can anyone ID this sword tail for me? He's some sort of lyretail I picked up from a LFS a few days ago but no idea what his color morph would be called, I love the blue hue to his scales ho and hopefully I can get him to breed with either my red velvet or red eyed pineapple females.

So I have a swordtail in a 3 gallon tank who has been doing the shimmying motion a lot. I changed the water, checked acidity, increased temperature, added aq. salt, etc all are fine but he's still shimmying. Could this be a parasite or just a tank that's too small?   He had been perfectly fine a...

When I bought my swordtail, the woman in the shop said that she picked out a 'nicely pregnant' one. As the days went past she seemed to be gradually getting bigger and bigger and thought she might pop at any moment, although my friend who has been keeping fish for nearly 10 years assured me that...

I have an 60 litre aquarium and want to breed my sword-tails. I have one male and two female, so I suppose its a good combination. I also have a small breeding tank, which I can use for her to give birth, but my problem is, when do I know that I should move her into it? I know about the...
