View attachment 37961hi i hope the pictures upload on here but i can telli f my fishes are pregnent

u tell me what do u think?

i have 10 guppies so how do i tell male and females also if she is pregnent shall i put her in a breeding net or will she be ok in the tank with other guppies no other fishes apart from baby catfish or type just bought yesterday

please help some1
 
Umm.. it might just be my computer, but i dont see no pic

It's really easy to tell if its pregnant, because it would be a lot fatter than it normally is, and you should see a dark spot close to the anal fin (the gravid spot)

As for sexing, females are generally a 'drab' brown or grew and are usually less coloured than the males..

I'm guessing this is your first supposed pregnancy? and if so just let things run for a while, and watch her.... if she getts fatter, and the gravid spot shows, you might want to put her into breeding net/trap/ fry tank.. whichever you choose, as other guppies would eat the fry if they dont have plants to hide amoung

Good luck :D

Gonopodium - that bottom fin in this picture that is sort of a straight line - the male reproductive organ on a poeciliid fish

Typical female of the same species - note the different fin shape - more triangular

hi i breed guppies and it isn't pregnant its just constipated feed it less for a couple days. you need a breeding net if on gets pregnant. and only feed them a tiny bit. males have colors and females are totally blank the two fish you took pictures of are both males
