Hey guys can someone please tell me if my guppys are pregnant and if so how long till they give birth please image.jpgimage.jpg
 
If she has ever been in a tank with male fish in the last six months - she will pregnant! Live bearers can store sperm for many months and be apparently pregnant even if they are currently in a tank with no males. When her belly gets huge and she has a very dark spot there, she will probably give birth soon.
 
Yup, definitely pregnant.  2 weeks MAX until she gives birth. don't keep her in that box the whole time
 
Thanks fishy wishy I realy appreciate it she has been big fora. While but hasn't given birth so I wasn't sure and I only just moved her in that little tank thing today

She still has a while to go.
 
What you want to watch out for is her 'squaring off'; her belly will develop distinct corners at the bottom, especially in front; it will look like she's swallowed a box.
 
Once that happens they usually give birth within 24/48 hours, although females can hold on to their fry if they don't feel safe or secure and that often happens in those breeder boxes.
 
If you want some fry to survive, you'd be best advised to add plenty of live plants for them to hide in.
