Are my female guppies pregnant?

[Kaceysfishies]

Me and my fiancé have 3 female guppies living with one male. Do you think they are pregnant yet?

Yes. The black area near her vent are the babies forming. That area will get bigger as the fry grow.

Okay thanks. To me it looks like 2 of them are pregnant. But is it most likely that all three females are pregnant?

Yes. If you have a male guppy then I can say with 99% certainty all your females step pregnant. They reproduce that easily.

I just woke up to my male guppy dead. Could the pregnant females have killed him?

Doubt they killed him. I've never seen it happen and I literally have hundreds of guppies. He could have been old. They aren't the longest lived fish.

Oh okay thanks. Good thing it hasn't been 30 days. I'll exchange him. Can I get a cobra guppy and still use him to mate with females?

You can breed any two guppies you like. The outcome will be uncertain as to what the fry look like.
Also the female retains the male's sperm for quite awhile so they will probably drop maybe 6 more batches of fry before they have some from the new male. It may not happen like that but if you don't replace the male right away you'll still have guaranteed fry from at least one of those females again.

Guppies are fun! Congrats on the soon-to-happen babies!

Yeah my mom bred them for awhile and it was rather easy. Pretty much keep them fed and have a place for the fry to hide and it's good to go
