Pregnant Livebearers
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? 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. 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? 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. Marlene |

... 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* ;~) -- www.NetMax.tk Marlene |

Thanks NetMax, I thought that by posting here, you experts, would know,
and I wanted lots of people to see my question. I am in Newfoundland, and I want to purchase different kinds of guppies, platys, swordtails, and mollies. Thanks for all your help. Marlene |

Check around to see if you have a local fish club, like a Newfoundland
Aquarium Society. The fish you are looking for should be readily available. -- www.NetMax.tk "Marlene Walters" wrote in message ...
