[mudvayne42]

i have three pregnant swordtails and i hav put them into a small 18 L tank for them to give birth and today 1 of them has given birth to 3 fry but they all stil have a gravid spot does this mean 1 of them has more to come soon or what? also should i leave the 3 females in this tank with the fry or a breeder box im not sure as i have been recomended that a breeder box is to small for swordtails especially 3 what shall i do ?

Gravid spots are NOT signs of pregnancy. They are always there. They appear darker in color and are more pronounced during pregnancy. It is normal to have livebearers continue to have a gravid spot that stays pronounced as they are still pregnant.
