Do All Babies/fry Look The Same?

[Neal]

Do most baby fish look the same? Just my pregnant guppy doesn't really look pregnant enough to drop, and I have found 6 fry in my tank, wich are a greyish sort of colour. The tank inhabitants are in my sig, but I know for a fact it wasn't the mollies. I have a suspicion and hope it's the danios, but I think it's the guppy. I'd like to know soon as i've put the guppy in the fry tank so if it's her, she can finish birthing in there rather than my main tank.

hi

I'm no expert, but i bought 6 female guppies from the LFS 3 of which i could tell were definately pregnant. Of those 6 the ones i didn't think were pregnant had fry 2 of the non looking pregnant females had 24 fry between them.

Do guppy fry have a greyish tint to them?

Thanks alot smurfy, i'll leave her in the fry tank for a bit then, how long will it be until shes had all her babies? I only noticed them today, so I think she has only had them today, as i'm always checking on my fishtank...

ive never actualy timed it but im guessing it should be over within a couple of hours when a mod moves this to the livebearer section (which they will ) youll get a better answer ohh and watch she doesnt have them for lunch its rare but it does happen
