Hi all

Could you please help identify if this platy is pregnant and maybe how far she got left?
She looking a lot more plump then usual. I’m a bit unsure.
Thank you

She looks squared off and is very pregnant i think that it could be about a week or so before she drops her fry but it just depends some platys hold their fry for longer than others.Is she hiding alot?

hi
No she swimming around. Just bit worried because I have only 2 guppy fry survivors and scared her babies will get eaten.
I also have my other female guppies in a net inside my tank fully pregnant.
Just unsure when their both ready

I have a 30 gallon guppy/shrimp tank. Started out 3 months ago with 8 guppies, now have at least 30+ fry and young guppies and I think they just had some more young today o_O You need to think about what you are going to do with all those fish you may have in a few months:/ I was excited when my fish started to have young but now I am worried:unsure:

I only managed to find two fry I’ve placed them in a breeders box.
I also have plenty of plants and hide outs.
I have two tanks one for shrimp and I’m currently keeping the males away, I side that tank. I Also one 105 litres tank with both shrimp and fish.
Which is the one with pregnant fish.
I was. Hoping to give some to my dads wife who also has an aquarium.
 
I also have a planted 55 gallon tetra tank and have neon, glow light and ember tetras in it. I also had 5 red eyed tetras 2 female and 3 male. In 3 months I ended up with 17 red eye tetras. o_O I gave them to my bother-in-law. I found another one in there a few weeks ago and let him stay. So I know what you mean. I am not sure what I am going to do with all those guppies.:/

I think breeder box will cause stress.
 
Hey guys
Today we notice more guppy fry. But none of my pregnant fish gave birth this week.
last week my guppy gave birth on the 23rd January. We saved two fry and today I suddenly found more. I cleaned out my tank last night.
Do you think she still was giving birth or they just hid somewhere?
it all very strange I’m confused.
I’m still waiting other fishes to give birth. I have now 6 in breeder box an 2 somewhere swimming help any idea? ‍♀

hi frofro,

I purchased xxl mother plants from proshrimp bought two sets.
And Worth the money.
I also leave my Aquaruimlight on for 7-8 hours a day.
Which has helped them grow.
Hope that helps

Some guppies will drop some of the fry and wait hours or even a couple day before dropping the rest
