lol i know what thinking.. another n00b but hey.

Anyway basically i had one lone male swordtail because his partner had died a while ago.

So, i was picking up some fishfood at my lfs and saw the swordtails and thought why not. So i bought a female swordtail she was a tiny bit pregnant when i bought her and after 3 weeks of waiting one morning i was just feeding my fish before i left for school and i saw one fry which in seconds was eaten by a golden barb. :ssad: so i searched and searched for another but and found one more. Well so far he's survived and is currently 5 weeks and 2 days old! :sbiggrin:

Heres my picture !

It shows the mum pregnant and now, and the fry through his life so far. Oh and the jar was his home for his first week before i got a floating fry box. :scool:


wat ch'all think?

thanks everyone!

Louise they usually take 4-6 weeks soon your female should get really really fat suddenly, which means she'll give birth in the next few days!

Good luck!
