 | pregnant swordtail |
newowner Fingerling Posts: 42 Kudos: 14 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Sep-2003   | I just noticed the other day my female swordtail is pregnant. I have some rock in my tank, however I have been told that I should have some plants in the tank for the babies to hide in so they don't get eaten. Is there a particular type of plant that is recommended? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Having so many plants that your parents of the fry cannot find the fry in order to catch them. That is what i have heard and what has worded VERY well for me. |
