I have strange swordtail acting. The male died a month ago. The 3 sword living now are female. They don't swim around. They stick to near the bottom of the tank. The other members are 3guppies plus babies.,4.bristal nose plecos. Water is 0 ammonium, 0 nitrites, and .5 nitrates. I have the tank double filtered and lots of plants. Water changed 7-10 days. Tank is 20 gal and 7-9 gals changed. I know they get swim bladder disease. But when I I dip a net they swim perfectly. My thought is they do have babies inside the womb. But I never see any. So my thinking is to raise the water temp to around 80-81. I think they have a problem delivering the babies. Any ideas?
