Hey guys it's me. I was just wondering if this guppy was pregnant. About 1.5 cm long. Not sure about age, was given from lps for stock clearance.
 
Any mid sized /aged female Guppy, housed with a male Guppy will be pregnant. It is just the way of the Guppy world. They can store sperm from the males for 6 months or more...after being separated from any male and can continue to have birth cycles.
 
I'll keep an eye out for now. Maybe take another picture in a week. You guys better be online [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
 
Well she did look sorta pregnant in the first photo, but not so much in the following photos. Must have been a false pregnancy. ;)
 
You will know if it is close by her looking square and kinda shiny, and I mean square! Sometimes a young/new to birthing momma guppy will have few babies the first round, and increase in number as time goes by.
