Exactly as Dan described. Another thing I notice with mine is she hangs around the filter/heater, become very inactive, she stops eating or picks and spits out food....Looking from the side, you will see her stomach with very defined "edges" looking like a box. Also, around the anal area were she will drop the fry will have almost a 90 degree angle it seems, that's when you know she is ready. Did that make sense?
Teejay, she looks like she has another week on her. From my experience my guppies get a lot bigger than that before they are ready to pop, and her stomach still looks "regular" size...
Hey Tabbs, I had a look at your pictures and 'borrowed' one to show you an example.....Thanks so much
My big Mamma and her best friend. Her friend had her fry on Sunday night, she was almost as big!!!!
Thanks. I hope the edited pictures helped. The best of luck with yours and keep us updated on any newbies....She is huge lol Thanks so much for your help, I hope my girl didn't miscarry her babies and will keep an eye on her over the next few days. Hope Big Mumma goes well with hers.
