3 months no fry! Advice needed.

[Jennifer_R]

Hello All. Newbee here.
Three months with 2 Fancy Guppy females and 2 Fancy males in a 20 gal - with 3 fem/1male Platies and five 3 mo. old baby Platies, more babies in net breader. Today I took one of the Fancy males out. I do daily water changes (20-30 percent) and temp is between 78-80 deg. Platies are having babies, I would like to know what I can do to encourage the Fancy Guppies to birth. Thanks!

hello, Jennifer_R

i would think that they already had babys but the other fish eat them or if i i would go out and buy more females because males love more females i guess they get well horny lol.
i guess im saying the more females in the tank the more the males get excitied and want to mate!!! i hope this helps and good luck

Thanks for the advice. However, I am worried about adding more fish if there is a possibility other fish are eating babies I am not seeing.

One of my females looks pregars, but the second female is aggressive and keeps herself away from the male.
