Guppy Pregnancy

[OceanGoddess]

My Guppies have been pregnant for about a month now and have not given birth. What could this be?

Temperature and/or stress. Both factors can make a fish hold on longer or abort the fry.

Mine held on for close to a month, then gave birth to 35 fry.

Give her time, add some salt to the water too if you can.

Has she got plenty of hiding places for privacy and security?

 

[OceanGoddess]

Yes. Almost all my girls are pregnant. I have four. They look like they should be ready to pop.
The temp. is fine, in the safe zone. What could be stressing them out? I noticed a gravid spot in one of my girls has turned to a lighter complexion, I think she miscarried. Not too sure. I have them in with a swordtail. Any advice?

???

She probably miscarried or it is the lighting because hte gravid spot is the eyes shinning in the light so it dosent always look the same, or she could have been like my black delta, and had babies and you didnt know it.

What else is in the tank as far as fish go? It is possible for the fish to drop the fry and have the fry be eaten. Patience is the key. Just wait and you'll have fry soon enough. Then soon after, you will be up to your ears in fry. It is cliche to say, but just provide your fish with clean, stable water and you should be good to go.
