I have never been succesful at trapping a fish right bef ore giving birth. Today before I did my water changes I noticed one of my high fin gals square and her birthing tube was really noticeable. I moved all the decorations and plants to one side to prepare for the gravel vacuuming.
I put the breeder with the divider into the tank with one hand and herded her with the net into it as to not cause too much stress on her. It worked divinely.
Minus 2 five gallon buckets later I see half a fry (tail side) sticking out of her!
10 minutes later she starts to defecate and you can clearly stil see the half fry still there along with the excriment. She passes her excriment 10 minutes later and the fry is still hanging therr.
It has been 30-40 minutes its been hanging half way out. When will it drop? Is this normal? I'm teribly worried.
While moving the decorations I did catch two fry about the same size as the fry I found 3 days ago so I didn't think they were from her but from someone else like them. I don't know tho.
I'm terribly worried for her. Pls reply and thank you for reading
.
Here are two pics. Best I could do. Its the greyish stick hanging out of her bum of course. Its not poo I promise you. The second pic, idk, maybe u can see how open her vent is and that something is obviously there...
