Oh when will my guppys have there babys?

[tropicalsteve1]

Hi al i know guppys usuly have there fry every 4 weeks or so but mine seems to be taking forever she is very fat with a very vivid gravid spot but its been like 8 or nine weeks with no change. Is it posible to take this long with guppy?? they must be due soon i hope. Could i be mistaken and she isnt pregnant? I have cheacked all the perams and all seems fine i done a parshial water change last week just to breath a bit of freshness back in the tank. I can try and get a pic of her if this could help??
Fishy regards, Steve.

I have some coming right this week and my female looks like a balloon guppy

I have read on the internet that guppies and all livebearers can have fry within a certain number of days (like a threshold from when they're pregnant)- and the gap when they can drop fry is some amount of time. I have read that they drop the fry at the time when they feel less stressed. Apparently they can hold onto their fry if they are being stressed etc. I don't know how true this is though...

THIS IS 100% TRUE. I have it happen all the time. but they can also abort the pregnacy if they feel like they r 2 stressed
