Adrienne Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Is she was in a tank with a male or males it's pretty much guaranteed that she will be. You might be able to see the gravid spot just to the front of and above the anal passage which will go very dark and you may see eyes as well. If she is, before she has fry her stomach will kind of look square. Females can carry fry between 4 -6 weeks, and can also produce young for up to six months after being fertilised just once as they store the sperm.If she is in a heavily planted tank some fry will survive, as they will hide once they are born. If not, the female or other tank mates are likely to eat the majority of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
