Must Have Fry Due By Now Surely!

[mic8310]

i have 3 female guppies, one of them looks 'not pregnant' but the other 2 are like footballs! they been like it for a while now. funny thing is, ive noticed just 1 tiny guppy swimming around in the plants so i know one of them have given birth but have no idea which. bit dissapointed to only have 1 if they meant to have a few, but i havent got a special birth section so suppose is to be expected. Anyway, i know the camera quality isnt the best but look at my pregnant ones, they cant have long to go i shouldnt think!

Well I'm pretty much having the same problem as you!
I've been waiting a while for some fry....I think they've all gone on strike.....

good luck and I hope it's soon!

Yeah they both look to be pretty close to giving birth. Well like oyu said, if you don't have much cover in your tank they won't be around for very long. Also it depends what other fish are in the tank.

Try something, don't feed for one day. It won't hurt the fish but a gravid female will stay just as big while a well fed female will slim right down. This might help you know what you are really dealing with. Quite often, a guppy will eat so much she will seem ready to drop any minute while it is just a full belly.
