Is my guppy still pregnant?
my guppy has a kinda like a boxy stomach it isnt round though it is big but i dont see a gravid spot or it is alittle fadded. is my guppy still pregnant or is this something else. will it still have fry
I am not sure. I have had this guppy for more than 3 months presently and it has always had a gravid spot and it have been a bit fat. you can fin some pics on my recent questions. People said it would supply birth in 2 weeks but 3! moths have passed and nothing.
Yeah, it is pregnant
Question 2: Is my guppy pregnant? Where is the gravid spot?
If your female has be around other males, then chances are she is pregnant. Females from pet store tanks are normally pregnant. Signs of pregnancy are a large belly, a boxy-look from the front view, and a dark gravid spot. The spot, under the fish's tail, is like a stained-glass window where on earth the fry come out. Near the day of delivery you can sometimes see eyes of the unborn fry as tiny black dots.
Question 3: When will my guppy have her babies?
There really is no recitation. You will just have to keep a close eye on her as she get larger and her gravid spot gets darker, because there are no positive signs. Sometimes a female will become rather still and solitary near birthing. If you know when she have her last drop, you can expect another drop in about 4 weeks or so.
Question 4: How do I let go the fry?
The best way is to have a separate tank loaded next to fake or live plants and a small box filter. Before the female is to deliver, put her in this reservoir, and when she drops the fry will have lots of cover in which to hide. The mother will sometimes generate a meal of them if she sees them, since she is amazingly hungry.
Answers: As long as it have a gravid spot, it is pregnant, even if it's "faded." Usually, big stomachs for guppies means pregnancy.
A picture would actually assistance if you are unsure. =]
Believe it or not, once a guppy get pregnant, most likely from then on, it will always be pregnant. Female guppies can store sperm for up to six months, and explicitly per male that has been close by her. Or something like that.
