first of all hello all. i have just brought about 7 guppys and i can see 3 of the females are very pregnant is there a way i can tell how far they are. how long do they take to give birth. i have put them in my spare 125L (uk) tank with the pregnant females in a breeding chamber. on 1 i can see the baby fry like a redish orange inside her. with the others its just black.
sorry for the long post im just exited
Thats not a long post at all
Your females will give birth around every 28 days(since they have the ability to store the males sperm) and will multiply farely easily. After raising over a 100 fry, i can practically tell time of day with my females. To tell when, the easiest sign is she will be very swollen in the belly, almost squar-ish and have a very dark gravid spot(those are the fry). My female will want to remain very still and often by herselve( by a floating plant or in the corner so no males will annoy her) so she can relax and give birth. But one of the best detailed signs I look for is her....umm let say private part(where she will be releasing them) will start to protrude out. Thats the one sign i know she's ready very soon.
I have many pictures of my females when they're VERY pregnant so just let me know if you wanna see them.
Here are some Links of pics of pregnant guppies.
First link are my 2 guppys. 1 on the left had her fry 2 days after i took the pic. Link 1 link 2 Link 3
