2 Questions About My Guppy And Pineapple Sword

[steppy104]

I have a few questions.....


I just recently got a pregnant guppy, a pregnant pineapple sword, a pregnant platy (i believe its a platy), and a male yellow guppy.

1. My yellow male guppy insists on following my female pineapple sword around the whole tank. He will not leave her alone, he keeps *side bumping* her and here and there he will peck at her side, it kind of looks like he is kissing her, it doesn't look like it hurts her.

The male guppy does not do this to any other fish..... Does this mean he's a confused guppy and he's trying to mate?

2. Yesterday on my pineapple sword the "pregnant marks" were black. Today I noticed that it was more like a red-ish color.

I was wondering......Does this mean that she's getting closer to having the babies, is she "aborting them?"

I would appreciate and respect all coments.

Thank you.

1. That is one strange guppy. that is definately him trying to get his gig on. That may be because there is no other female for him to breed with. I would get him 2 or 3 female guppies, just to keep him satisfied

2. This happens all the time. It is just the fry turning. They turn to/away from the light. one side is dark, the other is peachish, right. Always happens.
