I cam home this afternoon and saw a little fish swimming across the surface after my water change.

I scooped him out and put him in my little breeder trap and gave him a bit of fry food which he ate.

I didn't see any more though, so I guessed my other guppies and rams had a little fry snack while i was gone.

Worse yet, the guppy i managed to save escaped from the trap while I turned my back and I never saw him again :( Maybe he's hiding somewhere as I have a few dark hiding spots in my tank now.

Anyway, I can't figure out which guppy had her fry. I have 4 females, two are still very fat but the other two were never big in the first place, and they both have a very dark spot on their belly :dunno:

I got these guppies a month ago so I'm guessing they were already pregnant when I got them, but shouldn't that gravid spot get pale after they have babies?
 
i have some mollies in a 15 gallon and i had 3 fry the other day which i caught but i never figured out who had them. I normally catch almost all of them in the tank where they are at but i only found 3 i wonder if one of my fish just had a small litter or if the rest were still stuck in the eggs or something???? I keep track on the calender of which fish had fry and when. ??????? I wish i knew.
 
This morning I noticed 3 of my guppies were very thin, yet I still just found 1 fry in my tank so i put him in a breeding trap. There are many plants though so it is possible they are well hidden in there too if any are left.

Anyway, only 1 more to go now and she should be pretty much due anytime now as i've had her for 4 weeks now.
