Visited my presents today and to my surprise i noticed 3 little babies I believe are guppy but I only have one female guppy and one tiny male guppy, so I didn't expect babies right away.
Are these plattys or guppies. I have a video but I'm not sure how to upload.
Regards
Hello!
I have been keeping guppies since May 2021 and my first batch of fry are now juveniles/semi-adults. I remember when they were no bigger than a grain of rice!🤩
Anyway, I have noticed a couple fish have an interesting body shape. They are wonky and not the smooth torpedo shape like the...
Hello! I’ve got 75…? Or so fry rn. 6 of them are at around the 4 month mark. A Lot are at 3 or so and in the main tank I’ve got a bunch that are around 2 months. The rest are still in their growing tanks.
Anyway! With my eldest ones, I noticed the men’s color came in straight away. I’ve got...
Hello! I’m pretty sure I’m just being paranoid, but still better safe than sorry. I had a female guppy that was really struggling in her labor. She was pregnant when I bought her, and a week into her quarantine the water started developing ammonia problems that I didn’t notice right away. She...
Hello! My current batch of fry are three weeks old today. They’re my first batch, so they are my ‘experimental’ and ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’ batch. In fact, I thought my pregnant guppy had a couple more weeks before she popped so I wasn’t able to move her to the fry tank to give birth. Only...
I’ve recently been searching on the web about methods of yielding more male/female Guppies from batches of fry. I’ve read that softer water with lower PH yields more females, harder water with higher PH yields more males. I’ve read that even the temperature can affect the ratio of sexes. Has...
Ok so I’ve recently purchased a smaller tank for birthing, and I was wondering if it was a smart idea to place my obviously pregnant guppy in there ? And also does she look close to giving birth? I can see the fry eyes
This is my second post, I just realized I may have another pregnant Guppy but I’m not so sure, she’s hiding in the plants just like my other pregnant Guppy ? Can anyone confirm and determine when she may give birth
I came back from work to discover that my pregnant guppy’s belly was no longer looking pregnant. I was confused because I couldn’t see any fry and I checked her before I left for work and she was still pregnant. I thought maybe she had miscarried or something, because I honestly thought she had...
I have 3 pregnant guppies, the black and silver ones are far along I’m sure I just don’t know, they have the box shape, when should I separate them and when do you guys expect them to give birth ?
I recently got a beautiful extended trio of red lace metalhead guppies with a bunch of fry, and I also already had lots of fry in the tank. I just noticed that many of the fry hang out at the top of the tank and mainly stay in the same place. They don't seem to be gasping, but I want to make...
Hi one of my fish in my community tank recently gave birth to some fry. But currently I have two types of livebearers in the tank and I wasnt awake when the fish gave birth. Down below are the pictures. I have a few guppies and three Dalmatian Mollys and currently the fry are in a breeder box...
It has been one of those weeks, I have notice that just about all my anacharis has now melted away, I no longer have any in my tetra tanks:( and much of what I had in my guppy and shrimp tank is gone too. I went to the LFS yesterday and they can not even special order it. So I picked up a pair...
I have guppy fry! Some are 24hrs old some are 48hrs old and 1 is over a week old. I have also discovered camallanus worms :( will flubendazole treatment be safe for my new babies or do I need to move them to a new tank?
Hello, I’m unsure if these red tuxedo x guppies are male, they’re a few months old but exhibit signs of both sex:
As you can see they have stripes on their body and what looks like gonopodiums that they move around (left, right, tucked) as they swim. It’s also hard to see the gravid spot because...
I have 6 baby guppies, and I have them in a large breeder box. I have a sponge filter running outside of the breeder box. But I have found a few dead ones on the bottom of the breeder box recently. Hopefully in a week I'll be able to move them into the 20 litre (five gallon tank that they're...
Today, I had five 1" guppy fry in my 10 gallon tank, along with six neons and two corydoras. When I came back this evening I could only find four guppy fry. One disappeared! My guess is that the catfish ate it. The neons definitely wouldn't touch them. I was under the impression that corys...
Hi! My guppy just gave birth to around 11 guppy fry. Right now I’m feeding them crushed up flake food. I’ve also heard of some people feeding live food, such as brine shrimp. If feeding brine shrimp is best, how often would I feed it.
Thanks in advance!
Hello all, I have six guppy fry that are around 2 weeks old. Only until today, I noticed that their caudal fins are squeezed together like when your fingers are squashed together and they keep gulping for air, could that be caused by low temperatures I'm worried that it might be a disease. Could...
Okay so a couple months ago my fish gave me a new batch of fry but one of them still had an egg attached. I thought it was going to die soon anyways so I just let it be but it's 4 months old now and she's still very much alive. So it doesn't seem to bother her but it also has more fins growing...
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum so please forgive me if this is in the wrong category. I just bought 6 guppies, 4 females and 2 males, around 5 hours ago. Within an hour of releasing them into the tank, I have found 4 fry. I was planning on eventually breeding them so the fry isn't an issue...
I have a six year old guppy colony that is not doing well. I have three females left, three or four fry, one or two juveniles, and unlimited males. The females all die young. Their spines curve and they die. They are still breeding. I isolated two of the three females incase make harassment is...
Hi everyone!
I am new to the forums :) I have one tank with 3 adult guppies and 4-5 cherry shrimp and another tank with around 25 guppy fry and some cherry shrimp :) reading those forums has been helpful in the past so I thought I'd join in to annoy everyone with questions in the future hehe!
I got some guppies yesterday and the females look heavily pregnant, but the guy that I brought them from told me that they have about 4 weeks to go and that they can stay in the main tank. I am not so sure because of their size. They are pretty big. Please help me if you can say when they look...
