hi. Yes it can take up to 30 days for the female fish to give birth. They usually give birth once a month. the best way is to put lots of floating plants on top of the water. so, the baby could have have place to hide. And make sure to feed to female at least 3 to 4 times a day.

I put those plastic plants in. But how do I know she is getting close to having the babies?? I have heard they may eat the babies. But I bought these to keep at work for the kids to see and I will keep some of the babies at home if she does have some. He belly is white and seems to have a bounch of tinny blacks dots inside. One pet store told me she was pregant.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY.
