Pregnant sword tail swimming vertical!! help!!?

Question

I have a 55 gallon tank well established I have a male and female swordtails she has given birth last month and has been fine she looks to be pregnant again but is now swimming vertical and I was wondering if anyone knew if this was something they do or maybe something wrong..the other fish in my tank are fine acting normal and did all tests on water and it is fine...Thank you

Answer 1

Take your pregnant swordtail to another tank with shallow water level. It's better to have oxygen pumping in the tank. I think your fish is difficult in bearing. You can also put some water-ferm or water-weed in, and 1 male swordtail together is a plus.

Hope you're fish will be healthy

Answer 2

maybe she is giving birth again, put her in the breeding clear box to separate her from the other fish.  otherwise, she can be dying, and there is nothing you can do....sorry but fish are the only animals i think that you can not do anything to help them if they are on their deathbed...good luck to you and your swordtail....>>>>>>>>
