When will my Sword tail give birth?

Question

I have a very pregnant Sword Tail she has a huge, red, gravid spot with many of black dots inside. She is also very fat and she is squared off. She is in her own 10 gallon tank very clean brand new and i put rocks on the bottom and one medium plant in there. I also put in a bubbler. The water is 80° exactly. She also looks like she is pushing. Some times her fins go down and backs up. She won't eat either its been 2 days now since she has eaten. When will she give birth?

Answer 1

I'd say she's pretty much ready to give birth. If her stomach is truly huge, then she should give birth within about 48hrs. If she doesn't then she may unfortunately die.
