Hey once again my guppy's are pregnant but this time i want to keep them, My mum won't let me go to my LFS untill Feubary what shall i do?!
Help me please
 
Well i don't like them breeders to stressful for the female, they can make her abort or even die, i would invest in a 10gal tank if you won't to raise the fry, for now if you have plenty of hiding spaces and oraments some should surivive.
 
But they never suprise?, Think that's what happened to my other pregnant females?
 
Don't understand your answer.
 
You need more female guppys, 2females and 2males is far too little, the male guppys will over-harrass the femals when they are near to giving birth and may cause the females to abort or eat the fry.
Adding some densely planted areas for the females to give birth in out of the eyes of other fish will help alot in getting them to have a successful birth, the more plants the better- the fry will also instinctively hide in the planted areas when they are born :nod: .
Breeding nets should only really be used for putting small quantitys of fry in in their most vunerable first couple of weeks of life to give them a head start :thumbs: .
