Answer 1

week !

Answer 2

nice tank..i also give them a week or 2 give them more cover like java moss or some bunches of aquatic plants

Answer 3

I'd give it two weeks tops I would put some moss balls they can hide and play in them.  You have plenty of hiding spots.

Answer 4

i would say that its enough cover. you could try a patch of that breeding grass for the bottom of the tank. i have some of that in my tank and the fry love it. obviously you are gonna lose a few fry to cannibalism but thats the way nature works. good luck

Answer 5

Most likely within a week-2 weeks. It is hard to tell because different females are different sizes during pregnancy. Mine is a TINY bit bigger than that and she is due in about 3-5 days. The tank that you showed is perfect for the fry. It has a lot of hiding places. I would just move the female in the other tank now. If you do it when she is squared off and giving birth she will abort the rest of the fry and stress her out. Put her in there now. It can't hurt her.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 6

I give her a week, 2 tops. Be ready for fry!
