here is a birds eye veiw of her

here it is 3rd time lucky

she looks well and fit
there are little tricks you can do to fetch her on a little if she were mine i would put her into a birthing tank well planted put a towel over the tank to put her in the dark and NO PEEPING at her every five mins
leve her undisterbed 24hrs have a look if nothing slowly tip some fresh water into the tank that is a little cooler than the tank water and cover the tank if she is ready she will drop her fry this works well for me

 

[chrisandmarie]

so is she ready to drop and nothing wrong with her , as soon as i noticed she was hiding i put her in birthing tank as i thought she is either ready to drop or there is somat wrong with her as she is big bigger than i have ever seen .the pregnant tank dont have light anyway ill put towl over to make it darker tho .keep looking and ill update everyday and get picks of fry if drops

1 last pick are you shore she ok shes sat at bottom just put towel over top now so fingers crossed maybe nice suprise in morning

She is very very overfed and bloated for a start, because of this its very hard to tell her true size, although i would say she is heavy pregnant no doubt, you really need to cut back on feeding her though or she will run in to problems..

Feed her a frozen pea (cook it for few mins - deshell it, then smudge it in your fingers then feed it to her)...

 

[chrisandmarie]

they only get fed twice a day now and a bit of grated frozen food before i go to bed

she looks fine to me
is your birthing tank one of them breeding traps that you flote in top of main tank if so this will make her want to sit at the bottom of it as there is not alot of room for her i would not use them myself but hey thats just me
yer let us know how she gets on is this her first lot of fry

 

[chrisandmarie]

i dont know i got aload of more guppys of a guy and she was one that i noticed that was big il get pic of the other lot

they only get fed twice a day now and a bit of grated frozen food before i go to bed

Its eating way to much, trust me.

 

[chrisandmarie]

what about 5-4 flakes and 2 strokes of grated frozen food before i go to bed , thats all i feed my preggies now but been told it should be 4 times a day .
they get fed about 8 oclock in morning then 5oclock then 12 poss bit sooner depends on when i need to crash

if it were a male yes start to panic but as its a breeding female i like to see them with a little flesh on them
i feed breeding females very heavy the only problem are the water so thats why i use bare bottom tanks easy to clean any food waste but i do water change evey day 20%

 

[chrisandmarie]

i have all my breeding tanks painted black but i think its not the colour its to stop any Disturbance thats why its best to cover a birting tank so the fish dont see anything moving around past the tank
