Guppies

SOS CALL

Hi I'm seriously concerned with my 2 pregnant guppies. I have 3 pregnant guppies, 1 male guppy, 1 common plec, 3 tetras and 3 minnows in 125 litre tank, so there's no overcrowding.
I got one pregnant guppy last week she's only about a week gone but i'm not concerned about her, i'ts my other 2 that i'm worried about. They are 38 days pregnant and showing no signs of giving birth yet. They are both huge and squared off about a week ago the gravid spot on my blue one is really big, the red however has a big red gravid spot both look ready to drop but arnt and I don't know why.
I read to do a 50% water change, feed blood worms (which i've being doing since they first fell pregnant), turn up your temp which I have.
Mon did 50% water change and cleaned all gravel, feed bloodworms, turned up temp put them in a breeding tank nxt to heater NO FRY.
Yesterday 40% water change, cleaned gravel, added stress coat and nitrate clear just in case, feed bloodworms, put them back in breeding tank last night STILL NO FRY.
I dont know what else to do and i'm worried that they will abort soon.
PLEASE HELP

give it a few more days then perform a C section

only kidding.


im sure she will drop soon just leave her to it. she might be stressed and might well abort but it happens, she will have more fry in another month or so it it doesn't happen now. try and keep the lights off in her tank for a while

Welcome to the forum fishmad1234.

Stop constantly feeding blood worm. It is not very nutritious compared to a decent flake food so it should only be used once or twice a week for variety.

Do you have any pictures you can post so that we will be able to help you evaluate your females? Females that are gorging on live food often will acquire what looks like a gravid spot and will have very rounded bellies.
