My female swordtail had babies about 3 months ago. The fry are still in a seperate tank and the female swordtail is the only swordtail I have in my tank. I think she is pregnant again. She has a gravid spot and everything. Is it possible for her to be pregnant again without having a male in the tank? I was told that swordtails can have multiple pregnancies from one mating. Is this true or could she be pregnant by another one of the male species I have in the tank?

yes its possible, livebearing fish can hold sperm for up to 60 days, before using it. so its most likley not from the same mating since its been 90 days since she had the babies, so the first mating most likley to place between 120-180 days ago, but i would say that any male that has been in the tank in the last 60 days is could have been the culprit
