Whats happening

How long has it been since she last ate and what are you feeding her. Is she in the community tank, a breeding tank or a breeding trap.

shes in a five gallon bredding tank cause shes due around this time and its been 1 day since shes ate flake food she usually eats

 

[colin5861]

If she is in a breeding tank she should be ok. i have had a female go off her food just before a drop but this was when she was late. Try tempting her with some live brine shrimp or daphnia. One day wont cause any problem though

ok thanks but it looks like shes really gonna have babies and she wont eat so what should i do.

 

[colin5861]

You cant make her eat unless she wants too. I am sure that you have checked the water readings and temperature. If they are ok she should be alright.

See if you can get some live food - my guppies will chew through the tank to get at brine shrimp.

One thing to watch out for now of course is she may be ravenous when she drops. Make sure that there is plenty of cover

Keep posting - let us know how she is.
