So I bought this guppy today, im a first timer, and it looks pregnant... can someone tell me if she is and if so how far along she may be?
Hi Ashley, don't know if you meant you got a breeding box or net. If you have a net, the fry cannot escape and will be eaten but with a box the fry can escape through the slits on the side and bottom into the tank. Have you got a seperate tank for the fry or are you going to use the main tank??...IanThank you so much! I got these for my daughter and I had a feeling that it was pregnant so I went and bought a breeder net. I read somewhere rhat it can really stress her out, is it worth putting her in?
Deff Pregnant I would estimate about a week and a half..
Guppies will continue to get pregnant so long as they have contact with a male
You will have more guppy fry than you can count in no time
Hi, the problem with nets is there is nowhere for the guppy fry to go. They can't escape and the mother will eat most of them by the time you notice there born..I sometimes use a net to store the fry in, not to birth in. I agree with all the other replies, just let her loose in the tank and mother nature will do the rest.And I bought a net, the lady at the lfs said they were safer than the traps.
