If she's been with males, she's almost certainly pregnant. If she isn't, she will be soon.

You should consider getting another female or two because the male will harass her to death with constant breeding. Be aware that you will likely soon be overrun with fry unless you have a variety of fish that will eat fry.

FWIW, I have 5 livebearers in my 20g...apparently fry are quite delicious because we've never seen any (besides one that hitchiked but even that one didn't make it).

I have some other fish in the tank it is a 80g tank there is 4 angles ,1 bala shark,and a couple of clown loach the rest are small fish like dinos and cardenls i would say they would keep the tank under controle but i would like to raise a couple of them.I will put a few of them in the net when they are born and let nature take care of the rest it seams so cruel but i have my tank well ballanced and i dont want to rune that now any one any tips on these sordtails.
