Swordtails are always pregnant; platies and guppies are always pregnant. Show me one that isn't and then I will get excited.

She does look pregnant.

They're not always pregnant, of course... But I do understand the remark you've made.

i had a female guppy in my tank with males for 3 months and she never got pregnant.

i just bought 2 females that have male coloring. one of them has some weird male behavior, follows the bigger girls around.

Hi Amy. My swordtail gave birth to 18 fry a few days back. She looked similar to yours. When I looked at her from underneath it almost looked like she had swallowed a pea. I didn't notice the squaring off that many people say.

I know people say don't put the female in a birthing tank but I did and it worked out. She was only in there for about 12 hours. The alternative of trying to fish out the fry from my main tank felt like too much of a task.

One of my guppies gave birth a few weeks back in the main tank and only one survived. There is plenty of hiding in my tank, but still they mostly got picked off so wanted to make sure the Swordtail fry were separated.

Good luck.
