Here's my new female guppy, which I named Laci. I loved her peach colored tail from the moment I saw her and had to buy her. It's quite obvious that she's pregnant!

Thanks DOLORES! I'm still working on a way to cover the intake pipe for the filter so no more fish get sucked up.

Great looking guppie.

Have you tried cutting the foot off nylon panty hose and fastening it to the intake tube with a small rubberband? Worked for me.

Thanks cometcattle! Laci's belly is getting BIG! I'll let you know when fry start popping out!

I tried wrapping a net and some panty hose around the intake tube, but I still find the fish's bodies coiled around it. I don't know how to prevent small fish from being sucked up!

Yes, the filter has adjustable flow speed and it's always set on the lowest. Laci still hasn't had her fry yet!

Here's an above veiw of her . . . she's the FAT one on the left.

I have a 2.5 gallon tank that used to house fry (I moved them all into my 29 gallon tank for more space.) The tank is fully cycled and only contains a bunch of snails. It has a bio filter and around the intake tube I wrapped a net around it tp prevent fry from being sucked up.
