Hello!
My husband and I are fairly new to fish. We were gifted a female orange wagtail platy and we bought two female fancy guppies as companions in our 10 gallon tank. The yellow guppy was slightly bigger than the pink one when we got them, but they were both in an all female tank at the petstore. She has only gotten bigger ever since. We have had her now for about 40 days and no babies yet. She has a very large gravid spot. She is eating and swimming normally. Both fish colored up more since we got them so I am assuming she is happy and doing well in her tank. I noticed as of today that her back became more angled. Is she just about to give birth? Or could it be another problem like worms? At this point she would be probably 6-7 weeks pregnant. I read that they’re supposed to give birth by around 4 weeks. Any advice or info is appreciated. Thank you!!

How many?? and now you won't ever have to buy males to accompany them. and for feeding, you could easily feed crushed tropical flakes(almost powdery) a few times a day.
