Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello, new to Aquarium Advice as a poster but not as a reader. I have a question. I have two female guppies (Lavern & Shirley) and one male (one of several in the last 6 months..a question for another post). One of my females (Lavern) have birth to about 30 fry (counting is nearly impossible) last month. 11 days later my other guppy (Shirley) joined suit and did the same to approx. the same amount. The last batch was born 2 weeks and 2 days ago. Yesterday, the guppy to give birth last (Shirley) was acting strange, hiding in the corner. I assumed it was because she was still coping with a recent fin nipper in our large tank. Since she had her fin nipped, I've moved all 3 (females and male) to "nursery tank." Last night I notice approx. 10 new, very new, fry. They had to have been born yesterday because I know they weren't in there the day before. And since Shirley is the only one acting "out of character" they have to be hers. Lavern's gravid spot is pinkish and Shirley's is still somewhat dark. Is it normal to have fry every 16 days? I just find this amazing so I'm asking the professionals. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
