How Long Before They Drop - Guppies

here's some pics of some of my guppy girls (silver ones) just wondering if they are near to dropping --- not excellent pics but hopefully you can see them ok
the girls have become extremly hungry so am feeding them small meals 4 times a day

Yes they are close to dropping, but cut down a bit on feeding, one of them is way to much overfed.

ps, the one in the last pic dont look as far as on as the other/s, she maybe only 2-3 weeks pregnant...

The yellow one with red tail - is maybe 1-2 week pregnant if that

they've been having a pinch of food 4 times a day only cos i read the pregnancy bit that said increase feeding but will cut down again now - thanks for the help hun
i think the platy is pregnant aswell as shes the same size as the one who gave me the surprise fry on monday

What are you going to do with all these babies? I see an outbreak of MTS in your future...

got some friends with low stocked tanks and i might have to get the 30ltr up and running but 3 tanks got to be my limit
30l , 60l and 180l
unless the council will move me to a larger home lol

which one looks overfed - it could just be camera angle let me know and i'll check the fishy

This is the one thats overfed lol, it stomach is dropped lots at the front due to overfeeding.

Its definitly heavy pregnant as well, it will drop very soon. (if it was me, i would put it in a trap tonight)

that one just spends all day grazing on everything lmao has done since we got her before i had the fry in the shrimp tank and was only doing the small supervised feeding (alternating days of being fed twice daily for 2 mins , then once daily for 2 mins ) she went in the shrimp tank for a diet cos so she wasn't fed for 2 days a week


i've not got a trap , but have got a fry tank (shrimp tank lol) so am just catching the babies as soon as i see them .
In time when my plants fully grow in and i get my floating ones then it will be totally survival of the fittest with just some thinning out of numbers every so often and maybe getting the 30ltr up and running again

you aquarium looks very clean and neat, i love it.
