my near heart break with my guppy!

[!guppy!]

this is the first time i have breeded(if thats word) my guppies and i thought this morning my gup had abandoned her birth as her black spot had kinda gone bit more red... but then i looked closer and saw eyes

my main question is

would you guys reckon she will give birth in the next week???
(i think yes but want confirmation and id get a photo but taking photos of live bears is hell!)

thankss

Since taking pics is hard for you, I'll post my female guppy 2 hrs before she had her fry. A good indication she'll give birth soon is the birthing canal will protrude out and she'll stay still in a area she feels comfortable to have fry at.
Remember, the fry will be eagerly devoured by most fish if protection isn't involved. Either include lots of moss or have a turkey baster ready to suck fry out and into another area.

Good luck with the birth!
PS: it's "bred my guppies"

what is a turkey baster?

 

[snowyangel]

A turkey baster is like a large eye dropper. Its originally meant for sucking the juices from the turkey to make gravy and what else at thanksgiving.
Heres a link to a picture: http/paulandsarah.org/images/topping_off...rkey_baster.JPG
