Is My Guppie Pregnant Or Not

[johnjohn17]

Im new fish pet owner and i dont know if my fish is pregnant

I could not get a real good picture

 

[Liquid skills]

Its hard to say to be honest as hard to see pic

If shes not expanding and has no gravid spot then no

But if shes got a gravid spot and expanding then yes

How long has she had her gravid spot because some times a gravid spot dosnt mean babies on they way sounds rediculus right lol

But ive had several guppies that had a gravid spot and it never went

Some one else may be able to add to this but if you can get a better pic at all that would help

I can ever so slightly see a dark patch at her anal fin suggesting a gravid spot so may be

Yes!.... That fish is pregnant and approximately midway in the cycle....... (about 13 days left before delivering)

Guppy females can be assumed to be permanently pregnant...... If she's been in contact with a male in the past 3 months, she will most likely be pregnant.

She will deliver at around 28 day periods, (depending on the water temperature) and deliver between 25 to 80 fry at a time.... (average around 35/40)..... (She will deliver fry at least 4 times after impregnation by a male, even if the male is removed)

thanks i will try to get a better picture but she moves lol

They sure do move alot... i can't really see picture that good - she look's sorta early pregnant.

Like Ludwig said... if she's been in contact with another male she most probably is... guppies breed alot.

Good luck.

around 99% of female guppies are pregnant id say. i never really look for the gravid spot anymore just wait for the squaring off as a few of my females always have it. probably because their always pregnant. is your tank well covered with places the fry can hide (plants, caves, rocks) as the adults will eat the fry.
