My guppy is extremely pregnant and she just started breathing really heavy and it looks like her belly has filled up does that mean she's in labor???
Any pics??My guppy is extremely pregnant and she just started breathing really heavy and it looks like her belly has filled up does that mean she's in labor???
She looks very pregnant. I would expect fry in the next few days. They usually give birth late at night/early morning....
Not unless you set-up a video camera!!!So I wont get to see.. :'( that sucks
Any chance of another photo. It's hard to tell with that one...I just picked these guys up from a guy leaving the island and one looks like shes ready to pop. Its painful to look at her

Any tips to help here would be great. First time dealing with a fish thats prego
The one in the foreground looks like a Male to me. It's usually the males that have the larger fan tails. The one in the background looks more like she's ready to pop...View attachment 151062
is this one better
Has it got a pointy anal fin??This one is almost two time the size of all the other guppy and i see some black dots on her belly
Yeah, the pointy bit(i can't think of the proper name for it), the females have a smaller tail fin with very little colour. He'll be good for breeding...Guessing pointy means male. Wow hes one fat guppy
She'll get a very dark gravity around her bottom. She obviously get quite big. Once there's a male, she'll have fry every month.. Even if she just has an encounter with a male, she can store sperm and have 4-6 batches from it.. She'll get 'square' around the belly when she's nearly there...What's the best way to tell if a female guppy prego. Never had guppys before so I don't know.

I don't know if I'd actively breed with this male...from the photos he looks like he has a deformity. That severely crooked spine is not normal for guppies, and efforts to prevent breeding from this particular guppy should be prevented
