    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!!!👍

    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 😂😂

      ​@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.

  • @gabieisthebomb3
    @gabieisthebomb3 3 роки тому +5

    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

    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

    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.
