[Jjsmith46]

Hi in my 60 ltr juwel rekord 1 of my guppys has got huge belly and a red bloody spot under belly,ive not seen it poo nor any other of the guppys either but they are ok,its been like that a few weeks now,it eats well and is active,all the other gupps chase it and seem to be intreasted in the big belly! Not sure if the guppy is male/female but it has a huge beautifull tale,amonia,o.nitrite,0.1.nitrate,20,ph,7.6

Lol I'm no expert but it sounds to me like it might be pregnant hon. I think the red spot is classed as a main symptom

I'm not sure. Maybe it's a fancy one?

Ive had a look on net,seems to say the females are less coulerfull and smaller tails,this guppy is bright yellow with big tiger striped tail,hope it aint gona pop if it not pregnent,ill try some peas maybe,although i really dont feed that much so cant be bloated ?

If you see the fish in your tank, you can easily distinguish the gender. Does it appear to be male or female? In my limited guppy experience, the males generally are smaller, but have the larger fancier looking tails, it's not always the case.

Look at the anal fin. If it sort of fans out below, it's female. If it sticks straight out behind, it's a male, and should not be pregnant...although I got a male cat that could pass as being pregnant!! :lol

I had some guppies when I was a kid and my females were quite pretty. Not as much as the males not certainly not as drab as a lot of info will say they are.

Still not sure the guppy has a stringy like bottom fin that droops down?i thought if pregnent they get a spot at the side my guppy looks like its bleeding underneath,got a small blood like spot under belly,
