Is it possible that when I did a gravel vac yesterday it disturbed the substrate and caused bad toxins to fly out/around the tank? The tank always looks really cloudy after a gravel vac and the dust from the disturbance takes a while to settle.

Thanks Desperado, I’ve attached a few pics of the setup. The tank is a smaller size tank as it’s my first (approx 30 liters) and has 3 plants which all are quite healthy. All my parameters still look ok, pH is in the neutral range, nitrites and ammonia at 0 and nitrate very low. No traces of...

Hi guys, hoping you may be able to help me. Until now I have been under the impression everything was great in my tank, my 23 guppy fry have been happily swimming around the breeding box and looking healthy. Water parameters have been fine. Earlier today when I tested the water I noticed some...

THANKS EVERYONE! Happy to report that this afternoon my female has given birth to around 20 healthy fry! About 3-4 others did not make it/are not moving too much. I believe she still has more to drop as there are still dark specks in her gravid spot and she’s still large, however she is swimming...

Some more pics :fish1::fish1:

Thanks Desperado, The male seems to be uninterested in her at the moment. I’ll keep monitoring. I guess I just have to hope for the best and that it doesn’t happen when I’m asleep - either that or move her into the box when I go to bed (which I fear will just stress her out if she’s being put...

Thanks Autumnsky! Keeping my fingers crossed it happens in the next few days! Appreciate your help! :)

It’s hard to get good pics with the light coming in from outside and reflecting off of the tank - heres a few though.

Thanks again! She’s definitely looking square, I’d just love to know roughly how many weeks in she is as I didn’t ask how far along she was when I bought her. She’s always hungry and pooping a lot! I’ve got some plants which are growing like crazy so I’ll probably take some cuttings and float...

Hey Autumnsky Thanks for your reply and info! I have taken her out of the box and will monitor if the male harasses her, if so I’ll place him in the box. I want to try and keep as many fry as possible and have some plants but also have some neon tetras and fear they will eat the fry if birthing...

Hi guys! Hoping somebody may be able to help me with how soon I might be able to expect my pregnant guppy to give birth? I got her about a week ago already pregnant and this is my first time breeding. Last night I noticed her withdrawing and hiding a bit so placed her in the breeding box. I...
