Last weekend, I got a female guppy from some random petshop I had never been to before. She was really, really fat, but I thought it was a disease. But, low and behold, yesterday she gave birth to more than 13 babies! YAY! :good: She is not doing very good though now, and her babies are a little premature, but otherwise, all good news! I am so glad she gave birth! Even though I was only able to save 13 babies from the hungry mouth of my platy...

I will try to post some pictures on here of the babies and the mother. B-)

EDIT: Ok, here are the pics!
The babies: (Sorry about the bad quality...)

I will be moving the babies out of the breeder net when they get a little older, so they can handle the current and the adults.
 
awwww congratulations!! :wub:

can't wait to see pics, I love watching them grow and get their colours :wub:
 
That female looks exhausted but otherwise she seems to be fine. They always look like a tire with the air let out right after they drop fry.

Yeah she does, but she also has a bit of external and internal parasites, and it looks like her scales are coming off. :sad:
