My 3 Females Guppies, Pregnant Or Not?!?! Help Please!

[yilive13]

Ok, I have had 1 female guppy ( C'era ) for about a month. I thought that she was pregnant when I got her, but it turns out she wasn't. A few days ago, I got two new female guppies ( Girtie and Tigress ) and they both seem to be pregnant, Tigress is real big and her gravid spot is dark, but then I have Girtie who is not near as big as Tigress but her gravid spot is dark also. So are they pregnant? I have had C'era with a male for about a week, and her gravid spot is darker than is what about a week ago. ( I've been watching closely ) So can anyone help me?!? Are my guppy girls pregnant? And if they are about how long will it be before they give birth? Can they all be together when they do give birth and then be removed from the aquarium? I need answers fast!!! Got 1 mama that looks like she could be droppin' soon! I need 2 know!!!!!! Thank You

sounds they could be ready to drop, so i'd make sure that there are some plants near to the surface of the tank where she can go in and release the babies.
they should be all alright in together as long as there is plenty of foliage for the youngsters.

Make sure the fry have plenty of places to hide from the adults. Sometimes the older guppies will eat the smaller ones. Also you might want to put a peace of clean nielon over you filter intake. Some of my fry got sucked up into my filter . Sorry if you already know this stuff.

I've only just joined and assume you must be a proud grandma by now and if any of your previous batch survived, your next brood will be due within the next two weeks..... depending on the temperature. Guppy females delivers at approximately 26 day intervals and up to about 4 times after a single impregnation by the male. Little ones (fry) seems to survive better if there are already a number of young ones of various sizes swimming around with the adults and batches vary from about 20 to 50 in number........ Some advice though, do not attempt to give them all names, as soon you'll be invested with hundreds of these prolific breeders.
