Pregnant Guppy

[neesha]

hi, im new to all this, but at the moment i have a pregnant guppy and shes in a hatchery im not sure when she will have fry, ive been told i should see a birthing canal but ive never heard this. what should i be looking for and what signs are there that i should watch for so i know shes going to give birth

The birthing canal is called a gravid spot which youll see by the anal of the fish and the darker it is the closer she is to giving birth

Its a black dot near her little bum! xD if shes got a vivid black spot shes pregnant, the bigger/darker it gets, the closer she is to giving you some fry.
Seperate the mother from the fry asap, she may eat them

Thanks for this, she has a very black spot that has been the same colour for a few days so she will probably give birth soon. Thankyou
