Pregnant Guppy!

[DolphinMan]

Hey everyone!! I got a female guppy and she is pregnant. But I am not sure about how long she has left till she drops. I hope you can help me with a time range. I do have pictures of her for you to see.

Slightly hard to tell from the pics (I understand how hard taking pictures can be) but from what i can tell probably a few days to a week.

I could be wrong though so don't worry if she goes longer than that, like people how big they get varies between fish. Watch closely total pregnancy time for a guppy is about 3-4 weeks

When I see small silver dots (the fry's eyes) in the gravid spot, the fish usually gives birth in 1-3 days. You might not be able to see them depending on your fish's coloration, but take a look.

Imo you've got about a week before she drops fry. If she is young and still smaller then maybe sooner. Also younger females drop less fry the first few times.

I would say a solid week mine always look as if they could give birth immediately but it usually ends up being another week or so.
