I have a swordtail that has has about 10 babies (at least that is all that is left) when I got up and saw the fry I moved the mom into a trap this was at 230pm it is now almost 7pm and she hasnt had any more yet I can still see babies in her tummy.
I Know moving her while having them wasnt the best thing but I also know leaving her in the tank with the already born would have ment I would have lost some of them so I chose to move her.
I used to breed guppies and moving them in labor never hurt them but I dont know much about swordtails. I am leaving her alone and hoping she finishes birthing soon. If not she will die.
Is this normal for swordtails to go hours without birthing or did my moving her cause it.
TIA
