Hi all,
I have two female guppies that I have watched become bigger and fatter over the past 3 weeks or so. I'm looking for confirmation that they (the yellow one especially) are squared off, and maybe estimates about when they might have their fry (see photos). They are still eating and fairly active (although the yellow one is getting slower the bigger she gets), so I know labor isn't coming tonight at least. The male guppy is bugging the yellow one a lot, following her around the tank. I read that that can be a sign of impending labor.
Is there anything I ought to be doing for them other than just the normal feeding and water changes? The tank is planted pretty heavily to allow the fry to hide, and I also have a breeding box and/or a net to put the fry in.
Thanks for your help, I see that this question happens once every day or so, so I apologize for putting yet another post up on the same topic. I'm just a newbie to fish breeding, so I'm a little anxious. Doing all the research I can, though.
Thanks!
Victoria
