I recently bought 7 guppies and was planning to breed them for my tank. Some of the females are fat, so I figure they are pregnant. How can you tell for sure? How can you tell if they are close to giving birth?
I think I have worked out how to get the timing right for when guppies are about to give birth within a day
Now this is the third batch of guppies that I have been able keep. The first batch I gave to a friend. I only had 9 survivors from the second batch which are currently growing nicely in my tank.
- 1. Their bellies get very large and slightly long which makes the side the profile of the underside of their belly to look a bit flat
2. The female guppy starts to look for quiet hiding spot near the gravel to give birth
3. the large dark spot on either side and to the rear of the female starts to look slightly specked. These are the babies
