Alright guys so my female pineapple sword tail is pregnant. I bought her and a male 40 days ago from big al's. They were in the same tank when i bought them. Im not sure if this is her first pregnancy or if shes just going through a cycle from being with males already. This is my first fish tank on my own other then childhood bettas. Its me and my finacee's tank and its a 45 gallon. Anyways about the sword tail...
I am new at this whole pregnancy fish thing and need some advice or suggestions. Im assuming if shes going through a cycle she should be popping them out any time now. Last week is when we figure out she was pregnant, shes always been a little bigger. We first noticed the black spots in her gravid spot (the fries eyes). So then we put her into the breeding box. Before we put her in she was eating less and the male would follow her around everywhere. Also some of the other fish would chase her around. Now thats shes in the box shes eating.
Last week we swore we could see the white birthing tube but now were not sure. Shes also still round not square. I can try to get some pictures up tonight but how far along to do you think she is and will she give birth soon? Thanks alot for any suggestions and advice.
