Guppies Pregnant??

[Jessajames]

I have two guppies who I believe are pregnant. Am I just seeing things or should I be expecting some babies?? And if so, should I be expecting them soon?

they look pretty squared off (yes prego). One of my guppies just gave birth but anyways, you should be expecting. with a male and females available you should expect fry monthly at least. Whether or not you want the babies to live is up to you, without a hiding place they will usually get eaten by the other guppies in the tank.

That's awesome congrats!! Any idea when I will have babies? Based on the photos

Preggers indeed! I've had some that got a lot bigger than that, me some others that have given birth at that size, so I couldn't say. But I would guess fairly soon.

Pregnant.

Really hard to say when they'll give birth. I've had ones that seemed to hold on to the fry for an eternity.

Best 3 ways for me to tell (I'm on generation 8 of guppies now):
*fish gets boxy and very square. Usually 24 hours before birth
*Gravid spot gets very dark and you can see fry eyes
*28 days is the typical gestation period. So if you have any way of telling when they were in a tank with a male after maturity than that's a good guess. These fish are very prolific so they wouldn't waste any time getting to know each other.
