I have fry food, but how do I know when she is going to pop those babies out? Right now she is about as thick as my thumb, and the dark spot on her abdomen is about 3/4 of an inch long.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Kristy,

Just separate her from the rest of the fishes. put some plants or anything for the fries to hide after the female drop her fries. separate the mother from her babies after she gives birth.
