How long will socolofi hold?

[AquariumNoob13]

i do believe that today is week 3-4. but i have been finding fry in my tank with white spots on their backs. not really sure if it is from my socolofi or guppies, but they do not look like normal guppy fry so i am just curious how long she will hold before she releases the eggs/fry.

It can be as short as 14 days to over a month, the usually release period, though, is 18-21 days. If 3-4 weeks have passed then they can likely arrive any day now.

got any side view pics of the fry in your tank?

She's been mouthbrooding for 3-4 weeks or 3-4 days?

sorry. i totally wrote the wrong thing. but to be honest, i do believe that she has been holding for 2 weeks now. it took me a while to get the thread going when i asked if she was holding. but i did notice about 2 weeks ago that she looked different.
