Is My Swordtail Pregnant?

[vinnypeewee]

has she became thin? hows her breathing? could you get a picture that would really help hope she's ok

hmmm im sure another fish has been harassing her... .. her Anal fin and tail fin have become tattered and a bit fluffy.. so im sure one of the males might have been picking at her... And another female is looking similar But i've never seen the males being aggressive towards them

Not the best of picx.. but notice the tatty fins and whitening at the ends of the fins

another pic of the second fem (hugging the gravel) and with slight tatty fins

and thier breathing is Quite rapid, but seems to be like thier gasping really hard (mouth and gill's opening realy wide)

the Black Sword Died

The orange one Has Stared to hug the bottom of the tank it cant seem to float.. just swims up to the surface then as soon as it stops, it sinks down again

Anyone got any thoughts?? Is it Just down to her being pregnant?? or is it a swim bladder problem??

If so What could ba causing the swim bladder problem??

Checked all my tank levels and there all fine PH 7.2, Amonia- 0 Nitrate- 40 Nitrate- 0

Gutted dont want to loose another 'Mum to be Sword'

sounds like a swim bladder problem, make a new topic in the emergency section, hope you don't loose the other
