I have a pregnant guppy, a pregnant swordtail, and a pregnant sunburst
platy. Oh, and a pregnant Mickey Mouse platy as well. Does anyone know
where I can find pictures, or info on exactly how they behave when
ready
to give birth?

Behavior varies, typically starting around some floating plants early in
the morning, but the entire delivery can many hours, so their location in
the tank varies.

The swordtail has had five babies, I think it's her
babies. I am fairly new to this. She still looks pregnant, though.
Black
gravid spot, and everything.

Livebearers don't really 'get' pregnant in the usual sense. They are
basically always pregnant, and able to drop a few batches of fry without
even any male intervention (they store the male's contribution for future
broods).

Is it possible, that I made her have a few
early, because she had fungus, and I treated her with quick cure? Can
she still have more inside?

yes & yes. Stressors can change their delivery cycle, from premature fry
to skipping a month.

I am sorry for the stupid questions, but I
KNOW someone here will know the answer. Oh, one more question. Is there
anywhere on the net, that sells things to Canada, C.O.? I don't have a
credit card. Or even uses paypal? LOL. Thanks for reading.

What is it that you are trying to purchase and where in Canada are you?

ps: You might want to post misc questions like this in
rec.aquaria.freshwater.misc instead of an ng which specializes in plants
*just a thought* ;~)
