Pregnant Guppy

[stayc-e]

I am positive my grey guppy is pregnant. About how much longer do you think she has? I noticed today that her belly has a more boxy shape. She really popped today. What are some signs that she is nearing labor?

she is probably about half way thru the gestation period, which normally lasts 4 weeks. So about 2 more weeks to go, unless she is only having a small batch (say 2-10 babies).

Have lots of plants in the tank. Water Sprite is a floating plant that can also be planted in the gravel. It is the best plant for baby guppies.

the female will hide in the plants when it's time to give birth.

Thank you so much for the helpful info! I wonder if she had a small batch because this morning her gravid spot is less large/dark and she no longer has the boxy look
