Pregnant swordtail not eating   2/22/06
Hello,
<Hi there>  
  Could you tell me if it is normal for a pregnant marigold swordtail to not be eating?
<Often do stop feeding...>
She was eating voraciously and then 2 days ago she started hiding from the other fish. Today she is hovering near the top 1/4 of the 55 gallon and has not eaten today or yesterday. It appears her pregnancy is in the final stages, so I expect them to drop within the day. Is this behavior or normal in her current state?
  Thank you!
<Is not atypical. Not to worry. Bob Fenner>
