Pregnant Guppy Fry?

[julibob]

I am quite new to fishkeeping and have 2 tanks. I have a biorb (30ltr) and a hexagonal tank in which I keep livebearers (Platys and Guppies). I have 3 guppy fry. The larger of the 3 (about 6 weeks old) has a fat belly and a gravid spot Could she be pregnant this young? I have heard that female guppies can be born pregnant Is this true? If she is, would her fry be viable or will they just die? I'm sure someone can tell me.

As I am also new so I can not help, but I think you just scared me off of Guppies! Born Preggers? I am having enough trouble keeping up with my Swordies!

Guppies are sexually mature at 4 weeks, so it's very possible she has babies on the way

I have no idea where you heard they where born preg, but that is so un true.
