Bringing On Labour

[DavidRobert]

Hi everyyyone

i know this may sound veryyyyy daft, im a new fish keeper so im allowed a few daft questions lol

is there anyway i can bring on the pregnancy in my guppy, she looks ready to pop so i have put her in a breeding box that sits at the top of the tank, now i have read if they are kept in a small environment it can slow down the pregnancy but im worried if i leave her in the freedom of the tank, the fry will be ate straight away like the last time one of my guppies gave birth. is there anything i can do to kinda push on the process as shes been in the breeding box now since friday!

do a water change just a slight
bit colder than the tank temp
that used to work on mine

erm well i guess you can just leave her in there.. and if you dont succeed them things breed like rabbits ! so it dont really matter if you do lose them i guess :L
