Aquarium Advice Freak
I have no idea what I'm doing, or what I've gotten myself into lol.
I recently bought 5 female guppies to add some color to the top of my daughters 29 gallon (she's eight years old, so I maintain the tank). They were apparently pregnant when I bought them. I've never had guppies before. I have two tanks of "my own" with German blue Rams, ropefish, supervail Angels, etc., so in not new to the hobby. However, I am new to guppies, and new to breeding.
Upon googling and realizing they were pregnant, I bought a breeder net box, (was planning to put marbles in it but they weighed too much for the net, so I sewed plastic plant mat to the bottom of it for some coverage, and I plan to float live anachris in the top of it.
My biggest question, is when do I put the guppy in it?
This is a pic of the guppy with the largest belly (which to me looks like she might pop any minute). She did eat dinner as usual, so I don't know if that's a sign that it's still a few days off or not. The only pregnancy/birthing I know about is my own and our dog once lol.
Please forgive the blurry picture, she didn't want to stay still.
