The guppy just had 7 fry and will it have anymore it has been 24hours since she had them should i take her out of the breader. Also the swordtail looks very wide what are the signs when it is ready to be put in the breader should i do it now? last the molly is prgnant as i was told but i dont think it looks like it. what are the signs that it is pregnant.

Answers:

12 hours is usually the longest it takes a guppy to have fry. Unfortunately, it is much harder to tell when the other live-bearers are about to drop. Wait until you see them being more aggressive towards the other fish and hiding at the back/bottom of the tank before you separate them.

i would take them out of the breeder first.then i would put the sword tail into the breeder.and the molly is pregnant when her belly is full or round.

The guppy is done. The swordtail are usually more aggressive that the guppies and mollys.If they are pretty much equal in size , they should be able to get along. A Swell up belly on the female is usually an indication that she is pregnant.

If you have a tank large enough you don't necessarily need a separate tank for the fry, buy a floating plant that is live, they grow very fast and the fry swim straight to the top after being born, a few of them are eaten but there will be too many before you know it anyways. You can tell that they are pregnant by the roundness of the belly and a black spot on the bottom of the stomach appears.

yes you can take the guppy out and you can put the swordtail in now the other one will get big like the other 2 when it is time to put her in to have the babies

Live bearer females tend to find a corner and swim in place. They don't act as social as normal.
