Pregnant Guppy

[bigfish]

Hi

Call me impatient but i have 3 pregnant female guppies and they have been like this for ages, they all got gavid spots (quite dark) and have a damn good appetite!!! Just want to know when they will drop their babies?

The waiting is killing me!!!!

 

[FOGGY]

MINE ALL HAVE A GRAVID SPOT, ALL THE TIME, WHEN THEY ARE PREGGY AND GETTING NEAR TO DROPPING THEY GET BIG, AND I MEAN REALY BIG, SO BIG THEY LOOK AS THOUGH THEY WILL BURST, MY FIRST FEMALE ATE ALL SHE DROPPED EXCEPT 4!!!!! SO MUCH FOR GIVING OFF A HORMONE THAT DOESNT MAKE THEM HUNGRY, GOOD LUCK KEEP US POSTED.

I understand with guppies if they arent old enough they will withhold birth til they are. We have females that are about 3 months old and are pregnant but wont drop. I am under the impression they wont give birth til they are around 6 months old.

My guppys all looked kind of squarish right before they download babys.
It was the night before I found babys in the tank.
I didnt know what it meant until I seen it, as im sure you will

Thats what happened to one yellow female she went squarish and then before i went to bed i saw 1 baby in the tank in the middle looking at me with it's beady eyes!!!

Another my other female didn't look preggy at all, and i saw her drop 18!!!! right before my eyes!!

So i suppose it dont happen in all case ay. Dont worry i keep you posted when they drop.

I can never catch mine having the babies.
I want my son to see it happen.

Well two of my females were looking for hidy places this morning (asuming that they are getting near to dropping) I can't quite make out whether they look squarish from the back or not they don't stay in place for that long!!! All i know is that they have a rapid appetite for tubafex worms they lapped them up in a flash

I'm not going to use a breeding box coz it stresses them out and don't want them to abort.
