Hello Im new to fancy guppy breeding and Im sure as to how far along my pregnant guppy i bought from the pet store two days ago is. Right now shes in her breeding box just incase because to me it looks like shes going to pop! But here are some pictures of her, please let me know what i should do, thanks! ( sorry for bad quality, its on my phone =[)




 
looks pregnant, you can see the gravid spot (the dark patch near her ass)

is she squared off yet?
 
give it like a couple of days..
because mine looked like that!
goodluck,
keep her in her breeding box til she has them
other people syas it harms them
but i kepts mine in there til they had them
seemed fine :)
goodluck
 
she does look pregnant, but i'd say another few days to a week at least.

the squaring off that Hawkins mentoined refers to the shape of her stomach, normally i have found a day or two before birth it will change to this sort of shape \____/.

breeder boxes aren't ideal as they cause the fish stress that could cause her to abort the fry, many breeders on her dont recommend them, but she will be fine as long as she isn't in there too long, most say 2 days max unless you see any stress before hand
 
sorry.
i didnt mean a couple of days
i didnt pay attention to how big she was
:D
my bad.
umm few weeks..
but with mine i used a breeding trap with all of them
and kept them in there for longer than 2 days
like a week.
lmao
and she didnt abort any
because this was her 1st time giving birth.
and today. she is still living. :D
thats just what happened with me though,
other people could be diff.
goodluck.
xo
