My daughter just spotted little baby guppies in our tank this morning! These videos were so helpful in trying to figure out the best way to care for them and how to look for this in the future. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ashamed that I hadn't prepared for this better. We're committed to being fry ninjas now. Your explanations were so helpful ❤
Wow!!! This was so helpful and informative! I remember a year a go, I would watch your other video about how to tell if a guppy is about to give birth and watched it over and over at least ten times to see if I was doing it right!😂 Now I have five guppy fry that are now developing colours on their finnage, thanks to you! Cool video! You had some great information there! I really enjoyed it! Keep up the amazing work!!!👍
My guppy gave birth yesterday at 7am and 15fry. And another guppy giving birth, the first fry is born. I’m so happy that I manage catch all these moment and saving the fry’s. Now I’m trying my very best to raise them :)
Thanks so much for this! I have 3 pregnant females. One is yellow with orange fins. That fish’s gravid spot isn’t dark and more a translucent amber color.
Big box belly (like a square with rounded edges) Large, dark gravid spot Rapid breathing Hiding/ nesting/ isolating Every 25-35 days Those are some extra tips
I had my pregnant guppy in a different tank so that she could give birth then 3 days later she wasn’t giving birth so I was moving her back and when she was acclimating in the main guppy tank she gave birth 😂😂
Trinifish Hobbyist TV I laughed at this comment it’s so adorable and true 😂 ive always had a love for fish but idk what it is about this comment but I love it
@KeepingFishSimple is there a way for me to send you a photo of my fish to see if it was pregnant. I have had her in a mesh tank inside the other tank as the other fish were bullying her. She has a black spot on her and looks square but I generally want to be sure.
My guppy is pregnant for sure, but I’m not sure about the square stomach thing. I’ve had her in the mesh breeder because I don’t want the babies to die. Will she really be stressed if I leave her in there for too long, because this is stressing me out too. Lol (It’s only been 2 days and I think she will give birth really soon. She looks BIG)
My albino koi swordtails have orange gravid spots haha. Just a cute little knowledge nugget you might not think of if you haven’t had albino livebearers before. Haven’t gotten any fry to grow up from them yet. Idk if they eat their fry more readily or if albino fry are more vulnerable. Or both 🤷♀️ The fry in there from other fish have done just fine. I haven’t tried separating the females yet but I’m okay just sticking with what I have and letting the strongest fry survive, as cruel as that may sound. They’ve got java moss, guppy grass, and hornwort growing like weeds in there so EVENTUALLY someone should be able to make it to adulthood lol
i have some females that are rounded and 2 that are for sure more squared. the last few days i was wondering which guppy was pregnant but now i know a difference of rounded and squared i know for sure what guppys just gave birth!
i have a female guppy and seems to have all the indicators of being pregnant and males in the same place but they have became aggressive toward her so i put her in the nursery container but i can tell she still has a while before birth should i keep her in there or move her?
Like this bro really helpful have been away for a few days my one guppy gave birth and all over my big tank but there is mollies should i just leave them there is alot of plants and they can't easily be seen by me

Ok so i got this pregnat girl from the store and i can see the babies eyes and stuff, but its like she only has a few babies in there. Shes not fat at all even though her gravid spot is big and shes already squared off! I have her in a seperat tank but shes been this way for almost a month now and no babies! Whats going on? Is she baby bound? Is there anything i can do to help her?
my guppy was chasing and biting my Blackmore yes i have them in the same tank. So i took the guppy out and put her in a isolation box and after 5 mins it gave birth to 3 fries. The weird part was it wasn’t even fat or squared it looked like a teen age fish not ready for delivery and this being my first time i have saved the babies . 2 of them can swim and one cannot swim so the 3 rd one is always at the bottom of the tank and when i move it it swims but again goes down to the bottom of the tank. I tried feeding it to the other fish but it being fast non can eat it .. so im keeping it too my differently able guppy
also you are the best fish channel I ever watched I have some crayfish I don't want can I ship them to you also I have golden guppies that I don't want do you eat them
@KeepingFishSimple have you ever had any issues or raised Lyretail Mollies? even when i have a tank full of healthy fish, anytime i seem to add lyretails to my tanks they often die within 24 hours of being added ive tried looking up solutions for the situation but everywhere i look it says they are very hardy and can survive almost anything?
Hi I have 2 pregnant guppys and one female has the dark spot but she is really small still and not fat like the other two i have just one male so that would be a good male to female ratio but my male singles one pregnant female out he chases just her trying to breed i think but i dont understand why?
Sir I have 3 females and 13 males live in same tank. But only 1 female 3 males are adult but my 2 females are only 2 month old but they like pregnant is it possible
My guppy just gave birth this morning. Right after I gave it food. She didn't want to give birth hungry. Hahaha. Only 16 fry. Before that she gabe birth to around 80 fry.
I have a pregnant guppy with a very large belly, with a very dark gravid spot. So far, it's been over 2 months and I still haven't seen any frys. Is that abnormal for it to be that long? I am concerned, but so far the pregnant guppy is eating and resting normally. In addition, my guppy has been hiding in my plants a lot lately, so I hope it will give birth soon. Poor momma!
Hello! Did your guppy give birth? I’m having the same issue with my guppy and I’m lost in what to do! Her back story is..7 weeks ago she gave birth to 41 healthy fry. Her gravid spot and huge belly never went away but we moved her back into the community tank anyway. Here we are, 7 weeks later and she is showing all of the labor signs but it’s been 3 days of her frantically having contractions. She has been in her breeder box for three days now. I don’t like her being in there this long but the other fish were literally up her butt during labor so I moved her. Any tips?
@@kerinocella6106 Hi Keri, the weirdest part is that my guppy never gave birth and now her belly is getting smaller, not by a lot. When her belly was really big, she would stay at a corner and didn't move much, a behavior of delivering. Now, she moves everywhere and seems to be perfectly fine, but no frys. I have never seen this before so I am not sure if she was really pregnant or just constipated 😂. Well, the main thing is she's very healthy, eating well and just enjoying her tank. I am sorry I wasn't able to give you any advice, but I hope your guppy will be fine. Yeh, you don't want to keep them in the breeder box for long because it can stress them out.
@@deenugent473 thank you so much for replying! You were actually very helpful!! I’m so glad to hear that your guppy is healthy and happy!!! We just got another tank to put our pregnant guppies at…we have a few. No more breeder boxes! We are going to do our best to scoop the fry out and put into a nursery tank. Thank you again!
@@deenugent473 sounds like she miscarried. If pregnant guppies get too stressed (not enough hiding spots, other fish chasing her, you tapping glass, moving her out of the tank, doing a complete tank clean while pregnant) they have high chances of having a miscarriage
I can never tell when a guppy is about to give birth. I’ve tried several times to catch one giving birth, but they never hide away when giving birth so I can never tell who is giving birth. And I can’t put a female into another tank cuz I have other babies there.
I made a birthing net to keep the males in so they didn’t eat the guppies but the guppies literally swam into the little basket and half of them got eaten 😭😭

Might be that she felt more safe with the school nearby than alone in a new tank
Excellent topic at this time given everyone is home and focused on breeding fishes.

Thanks for your advice
I can see a set of eyes in my female guppy should I separate her now or wait a few more days?
How do you tell if they’re pregnant or have bloat or dropsy? I gave my girls peas and meds but still huge. I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
Wow this is so helpful I did not know this perfect I am going. To adopt them soon
👍👍

Can you make a video about how you ship and what is allowed in Australia shipping wise for fish and do you need a licence? Etc
Thank you for the great information as always.
Thanks for sharing this helpfull information 🤗
also you are the best fish channel I ever watched I have some crayfish I don't want can I ship them to you also I have golden guppies that I don't want do you eat them
Best Video ever
Is it normal for the gravid spot to be red? Bc I have a pregnant guppy but instead of a dark spot it’s red
Awesome advice! Thank you soooo much!
Do other livebearers “ square off” as well, or just guppies?
Alyssa Davis yeah all do. Once they’ve given birth once it’s loads easier to tell when they’re going to. Hope this helped.
Cool updates on Guppy breeding 😍🐠
Thanks heaps

Tank you very much for your helpful information. Sut out from Mexico
Thank you
I had bought a bunch of female guppies and they were so pregnant, they actually gave birth in the plastic bag during the trip home.

Do we need to put the male and female guppies together 🤔
If you want babies
Sir I have 3 females and 13 males live in same tank. But only 1 female 3 males are adult but my 2 females are only 2 month old but they like pregnant is it possible

Very true
I have guppies but she is not giving birth. What to do at this situation?
Why is my guppy’s gravid spot sometimes changes to orange and the back to black?
My guppy has a dark patch thank you
A guppy will give birth when it looks sooo bloated like it's about to explode. Hahahaha I'm half kidding. XD
There is a weird sound in the background music that sounds just like the alarm on my HomePod. It's a tiny bit annoying but otherwise great content.
My guppies gravid spot changed orange or red what's the reason
Is it true females can store sperm for preferred water conditions(becoming pregnant without a male in tank)?
It’s true that the females can keep getting pregnant without males.
@@LaurenHer my two females are on second drop without a male.

I had a yellow metal lace gave birth to 101 fry. She died after that. 😢
Both of my females have been giving me all the signs for about a week now.. and still no babies. It's frustrating.
I know this video is rather old but I had a guppy she did not look pregnant at all then the next morning I see four lil babies
kfs you should do swordtails pregnancy
Also if you want to spend a few weeks in New York hit me up! Trade a vacation!
I can never tell when a guppy is about to give birth. I’ve tried several times to catch one giving birth, but they never hide away when giving birth so I can never tell who is giving birth. And I can’t put a female into another tank cuz I have other babies there.
Interesting
Thank you!
I fishy doctor now hehe
Go get em
Can anyone please help me I need some urgent help for my molly fishes 🥺
For breeding
Please add subtitle
Bring the stache back!!!
I made a birthing net to keep the males in so they didn’t eat the guppies but the guppies literally swam into the little basket and half of them got eaten 😭😭
What's your IG account? HAHHAHA
Why so handsome
He likes fish
En español por favor
Are guppies worth it if they are so inbred?
Isnt it more worth it to just buy swordtails or platys?
Yea in my opinion
@@KeepingFishSimpleI would recomend endlers too
My guppy only gave birth to 1 fry😢
I mean want them
😎
They will give birth when they have the GIRTH
