Is my swordtail pregnant?

[Lance M.]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anybody could tell me if my swordtail is pregnant. If so, when should I be expecting fry and what should I do? (Also sorry about the images they were the best I had)

I’d say so but not quite ready yet. Her belly will square off on the bottom right before she delivers.

Ok, so how much longer do you think? Or are you not sure?

How long has she been pregnant?

 

[Lance M.]

I’m not sure how long, I got her a while ago but she could’ve gotten pregnant at any time in between that

 

[FishGuest5123]

Usually they go about 28 days.

I feel like she’s been big for longer than that though

 

[FishGuest5123]

Sometimes it can be delayed a bit.

 

[Lance M.]

Yeah I bet she is
