I've looked over other threads and have done everything I can think of to get this girl to drop her fry.. It's been MONTHS since she was first showing signs of pregnancy. Now she's huge, squared and her gravid spot keeps getting bigger.
I've redone her tank with plants, I've made sure the parameters are good, I've made the water a bit warmer, when I noticed guppy daddy stalking her and stressing her out I moved her to my community tank into a birthing box.
She's looked ready to pop for weeks now.. and I just don't know what else to do to get her comfortable enough to drop her fry.
I've heard that they could just die before even giving birth if it's been too long??
She goes through phases of hiding out, not eating and such as if she's going to drop em, but then she goes back to her normal fishy self, eating and swimming around just fine...
She doesn't seem stressed out in the birthing box and I've been feeding her a bit more than usual the last week just to see if maybe that's the problem... but no change.
I'm at a loss here.
Any advice or tips would be amazing.
