Henry the fish keeper Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 So, I have this female pineapple swordtail and I have her with several other guppies and livebearers. I see one of the fish biting a spot near her anal fin, should I be concerned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Unless it is being harmed by the other fish, is still eating and acting normal, then I would not be overly concerned and just keep an eye out for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 How large is the aquarium? How well-planted? Female livebearers can carry milt from males for a long, long time. It is possible that she is gravid and may give live birth. The other livebearers may sense that, or even predate on fry. If she is "boxed" up -- bulky in girth -- she may be carrying fry. I recommend an aquarium of at least 20 gallons or larger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry the fish keeper Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Yeah the tank is a 20 gallon long and it's not super planted (I need to get more plants). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
