One of my guppies has gotten seriously chubby. I have a mix of males and females but I only got them a couple weeks ago. If she is preggo is there anything I should do? IMG_1167.jpgIMG_1166.jpg

Edit* could it also be why she’s been destroying the plants in my tank?
 
They both look to be due any day.
You could try a breeder net with plants in it if you want to save fry.
Some fish eat their fry.?
 
IMAG0430_BURST011.jpg this is my guppy when she had fry, it will be hard to see on yours but they get a dark spot at the bottom under the tail, "gravid spot" and also look more boxed, if she hangs around the heater and hides in plants I would say she's pregnant, they usually take a few weeks to give birth, if you want to keep then get a trap, the fry go to the bottom when they are born and she won't eat them for about 24 hours, endlers rarely eat there fry, but normal guppies may after 24 hours, they usually give birth in the morning so put her in a trap and good luck ?
