Well she did it. Woke up this morning to find 12 fry. The patience paid off. Thanks for all your help. Mid.

Thanks for your replies so far. This is the Guppy that I have in question. It is very calm and looks big with a square-ish stomach. I hope you see this pic. Sorry for the quality, but it is the best I could get. I have noticed that the spot has moved down. Please offer any...

Hi All, I am pretty new to all this, but would love all your advice and experience to help me and my fish. I have a newly set up tank. When we first got fish about 6-8 weeks ago, we release a guppy in to the tank only to find that it was giving birth. I rushed to get a breeding tank and...

Hi Again, I have new Guppy fry now. 11 of them have been born today. Can someone tell me the approximate time it takes before they are big enough to be introduced in to the main tank? TIA, Midmania

It is a 50 Litre tank (Sorry but the Euro has gripped us) There are 14 tetras (10 Glowlight and 4 Neon) Guppies and Platys. There is 1 Guppy that has just given 10 Fry. They seem OK. The tank has been set up for just over a month.. I would not say that the tank is overcrowded, but there is...

Right thanks for that, very confused now :/ I think all we can do is keep an eye on them. We have put the pregnant loking guppie into a breeding tank and will see what happens. If only the glow light hadnt eaten the fry we might have a better idea of who's it was.

Hi, Moving away from the Platys then, can some one tell me how big this Gravid spot gets before they are due to give birth to the fry? TIA, Midmania

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I was told that this fry was Orange ..... the same as the Platy. I am not sure about how colours are normally passed genetically. I have noticed that there could be 2 pregnant Guppies, but their bellies are bigger than the rest, and that the spot is bigger than the...

Hi, I hope someone can help. We have just set up a tropical tank. We have a selection of Platys, Neon and Glowlight tetras, and Guppies. I have a Platy which seems to be guarding a spot constantly which is next to a tall living plant. Everytime a male goes anywhere near, it tends to be...
