Looks like she's showing a gravid spot to me. She's a cutie - good luck!

 

[newfishies]

i'd say yes!

 

[Elusive]

Agree with all the above! Good luck!

I would guess that it will be about two more weeks before she births. Not an expert but that's my guess.

 

[Ripcord]

How long till she births? 2 weeks, should i seperate them now. first real time doing this.

When you can see the eyes in the gravid spot she is getting close. Do you have a breeding trap?

 

[Ripcord]

no breeding trap never thought about breeding. how much are they

I bought mine for about eight dollars American but I live in Sweden so no idea what they cost there. Do not put the female in untill she is really close or just started birthing or she can get stressed and abort. After she births get her out fairly quick of them fry is lunch Swordies are quite canabalistic. She my start to look a bit squarish from behind when she gets close.
