Got this leopard guppy and wanted to know how long you guys think it will be before she gives birth... She's quite black inside.
Also... Is her type called a Leopard Guppy? Or what is it called?
Thank you....

Please excuse the others... Cruella & Scarlett just wanted to say hi :)

I'd say within the week but I can't fully tell how squared she is, but she does seem really gravid.
She does look like a leopard tail gup, I have a few of them with similar markings.
 
Guppy fry are born a bit larger than Molly fry, aren't they? I thought I heard that somewhere... Or maybe it was that guppy fry grow faster??
 
My guppy fry have always been larger than my molly fry, and my guppies have always grown faster.
I have both guppy and balloon molly fry that were both born around the same time and the gups have already started showing colors, my mollies are still a bit small.
 
I think that is a yellow dragon guppy. Try google that name and see if that matches.

Lol I knew it would be soon but didn't think it would be that soon! Lol congrats on your fry!

Unfortunately I came back and she's half skinny... I found 2 fry... She's still birthing but she's got a bunch of mouths in the tank...
They're Teeeeeny babies!

Edit: 3
 
RIP...
She apparently got into a tiff with someone and had some body damage above her left fin... Scales were torn off and area was red...
Returning tomorrow to Petsmart for exchange :-( I have her 2 babies I was able to save.
