how long till Tilly pops?

[butterfly_koi]

Any clue on when she might have them? Her spot is getting bigger I was kind of wanting to know how long she will be pregnant for seems like she's been pregnant forever

I would say within the next week or two going on a whim. Once she squares off you'll definitely know it's soon. This is my guppy Opal and she's pretty gravid but I'm giving a guess at two weeks or more.

How can I tell when she's squared? I'm not sure what to look for

She still looks plump! If this is her first batch I'd expect 15-25 babies

She has had five fry so far one came out in a ball and is still that way don't think its alive, so I have four live fry

 

[butterfly_koi]

Six live fry and four little egg looking thingys which she has been eating

Those are just unfertilized eggs... They're good for her to eat..
Good luck to mama fish

Well at least she is cleaning up after herself lol

Well its morning and there are still only nine in the box, confusing thing is that there are a bunch swimming around the tank that weren't there yesterday. Did they get out of the bottom of the box, or is Tilly having babies? I guess only time and watching will tell

 

[butterfly_koi]

I have found a total of 21 fry would have been 22 but my balloon Molly sucked one out of the bottom of the breeder box so now they are all in the nursery tank
