I have a guppy who appears to be ready to pop it looks as if I can see the black eyes of the fry though her lower abdomen. She is albino so that helps. My problem or problems are....I had her in my main tank which is 80 gallons. She was staying right at the top most if the time and the other male guppies were staying with her none stop. I want to keep the babies. So I thought instead of putting her in my breeding box thing (small clear box that floats with a divider) I decided just to move her to a small five gallon tank by herself until she gives birth. Ok, so I moved her and she seems very upset about the move I guess. I was hoping to avoid stressing her. But my other tank is to big for her babies. I would be lucky to even find them in there. So since I moved her she is sitting in one corner in the top of the tank. She will not eat. She swam around a little at first but for about the past hour or so she stays in that one spot. I'm really worried about her now and really don't know what would be the best thing to do at this point. She has everything that is needed in the smaller tank...air,light,heat,plants etc. also she was in the small tank before I bought the bigger one so I thought she would be ok in it till after having her babies. At this point any advice would help. I moved the tank so I can see her as much as possible and she is just sitting in that one spot. What should I do........
