I bought both of these. When my female is near labor which should I put her in? And when should I remove the mom?
I'd use the first. That's the one I have. Take the female out when she's done giving birth
What age should I move the babies to the breeder net? I have four pregnant guppies. I bought 2 of the breeder nets..
I put the female in the breeder, let her have the fry, put her back in the main tank, and move the fry pretty much immediately... You could wait if there aren't too many, or if you still have to get the tank ready for them. It kind of depends
I have 4 females in a 10 gallon
That's a very good piece of advice...Congrats on having fry, with the net be careful not to have it against the wall of your tank. Leave about a cm gap if at all possible in case any other fish get stuck like mine has in past few days.
That's fine. But you'd want to move the fry to a different tank. unless there are lots of hiding places, the adults will eat them. And even then, some will probably get eaten
I have a 20 gallon that I will be moving the females too . There is a couple male guppies with Cory cats.
How long will it take before I can move the guppy fry to the 20 gallon? So they want get ate
I would wait unripe they are about 1.5 cm long. That way they can't get eaten or sucked up the filter. Do u have any agressive fish or males in the tank?

I have four pregnant females. One of them had 2 while I was gone but that was two days ago. All of them still have a very dark gravid spot. And all have big bellies. I think it was due to the pressure change when we had a storm. But I am wondering when it will have the rest......
I agree. Put her in but do a 50 water change or a fairly large one, if you can. This can sometimes trigger them.....
