Does this girl look pregnant to yall or am I missing something else? It's been well over 28 days but I know different things can prolong birth but still has me questioning.
I got her from a pet shop and she's my only swordtail so assuming she was carrying sperm from pet shop. I have had her for about a month and a half I suppose. I attached pics for opinions.
Thank you in advance!
Amber

Have you checked your water quality recently (ammonia, PH, nitrite, nitrate)?
I have a similar issue myself, and there's a possibility that a water change or two may be required.
 
I checked it a few days ago and everything seemed fine...I'm due for a water change but levels are still seemingly good! Idk...I keep wondering if she can be bloated or constipated and look like this ? ?
 
In all honesty, I'm not sure..
Perhaps it's just her insides? After all, that is a very light-colored fish- Though I'm not really an expert in this field. :turn-l: my apologies-

No apologies necessary, I appreciate your interaction! I'm a new fish mom so I'm very low on knowledge. I've been reading alot but I'm still unsure. She's just gotten so fat since I got her. Lol
