Hi gang,

Is Señorita pregnant and ready to burst? Or is she over fed. I've noticed she has a voracious appetite. Here are some photos:

Here's a comparison next to her sister Chiquita:

She is pregnant and close to birth I would guess. She is gravid and I would expect to see babies soon.
 
Thanks Anne,

Do you think my other tenants will eat the little guys? Or would you suggest a separate net breeder to hold mom until she gives birth?
 
What are the other tenants? And do you have a lot of hiding places or plants for them to hide in? Just so you know, guppies will continue every couple of months to give birth as they can store sperm and don't need males. You may very well become overrun with fry soon. I went from 5 guppies to over 300 in 4 months!
 
I have 4 tetras, 2 endler's livebearer, 1 Cory cat and the two guppies(the ones in the picture). Oh my gosh, I don't want 300 fish. Yikes:(

Anyone want my offspring? :invasion:
