How long are they pregnant ?

Question

how long are these little guys are pregnant for is it 28 days

mollies

palty

swordtail

Answer 1

Well I had three fish and two died (they were both males). Three months later my tank was swarming with little babies. The mum ate like half of them though..... lol

Answer 2

Yes around that time

You will know when they are ready to give birth because it looks like they are going to pop because they are so round they will also spend a lot of time near the top of the tank and around by plants so the fry can quickly take in some air/oxygen and then swim quickly down to the floor and in plants and ornaments.

the parents are likely to eat their young so if you want to keep the fry make sure that there are plenty of hiding places.

Eventually you will be over run with fry so you may either have to get another tank or you sell them on.

hope this helps
