I remembered this place near me called The Fish Tank. I went and they have wonderful fish...all very healthy looking, great, large tanks. So I was wandering around just browsing (no intent on buy fish right then) while my friend bought a frog. I noticed the guppies (male tank and female tank) and, being a personal fan, was delighted at the selection. I still decided not to get one though. I noticed a large tank that said it had a female betta so I bent down to look. To my complete surprise, besides the betta, there were hundreds of guppy fry!!! As if that wasn't cool enough, they had put all of the pregnant guppies in there. I was excited but still not convinced that I needed anymore fish. That's when I saw her. I've seen pictures of female guppies that look like they are absolutely going to explode any minute because they're so big but I've never seen one. One female came out from behind some plants and she was just like that. She was HUGE! That was it...I bought her (for the same price as the other "not pregnant" females) and took her home. Now to wait a few days and I'll have more fry!!!
