Im A New Breeder

[joshrm115]

I know that this is in the wrong place to post this but it seems like no one really goes in that sec to much or it least it does not seem like it. Yesterday I got about 20 feeders aka guppy's and a few of them already seem pregnant one inparticular its belly is so big it cant even swim up it has to sit at the bottom of the tank so what should I do now??

There is the possibility that the fish isn't even pregnant and May be sick or constipated. From what I've seen feeder fish arnt kept under the best conditions

feeder fish? theres a good chance out of the 100 i buy at a time at least 20 are pregnant. but as paavn said. They arent usually kept in really great ways because.. well... you feed them to other fish.

Am i to understand your keeping them? or breeding them as food for other fish?

if your wanting to breed guppys to sell, feeders arent so great to use. as i said in the guppy section they will be full of deformities etc most likely. they are bred as food for other fish so highly inbred/overbred.

if you're breeding them as food for others, well you dont really do anything. they know what to do, just let them get on it with it!

if you are wanting to breed for colour and show, invest in some good quality show guppys from a private breeder.
