how will i know when shes about to drop? im not doing breeding tank.. i got some tunnels long plants n breeding grass.. they are starting to look a lilttle red on belly and shes pretty big

 

[Istrom]

The edges of her stomach will start to look less round and more like a box when shes within 2 days of dropping her fry.

Fry

My guppies are still giving birth. They are really small but can see them in breeding grass. Would it b ok to put them in conditioned tank separately for time being

 

[Istrom]

Yup. That'd be best actually. They're pretty tough little buggers as well. When I was transporting guppy fry once, one of them accidentally fell into the carpet, it took me a minute or two to find her but I put her back in the tank and she lived to give birth to another generation

So I could wait till tomorrow am to get a little tank. Prolly fill it to half or a little over do they don't jump out. When could I start selling them? Also would a beta bowl or tank work. It's just short term n can't spend a lot

 

[Istrom]

Well if you're really looking to start breeding for money, you're gonna need to buy a complete second tank setup. Either way you could probably sell them when they're 3/4-1 inch long, and yes a betta tank or bowl would work for the time being.
