im new to fish is my sword preg?
ive read alot on the breeding and discriptions of my fish when she is pregnant, but im still not sure. she has a very dark/black spot towards her stomach, she's had it since i bought her about 1 1/2 weeks ago. The other female green swordtail does not, but she is not getting bigger and is more active than the other. how can i be sure if she is preg?

My sword's black spot (gravid spot) takes up almost half of her belly, and her belly is pretty big. My other sword, who I assume is not pregnant, just has a tiny portion of her belly showing the gravid spot........

The gravid spot is seen on most female livebearers even when not pregnant. My female Guppies are easily picked out as early as 2 weeks. Because your Sword is a mature female you can assume that she probably is pregnant. She looks to be in great condition. I would also say that she probably had fry recently. Give her another 2 1/2 weeks or so and she should give you some more.
