Very new to guppies - is she pregnant?

[BeccaBear374]

Hi I just got this female yesterday from petco, she was in an all female tank, I'm very new to guppies and was wondering if someone could tell me if she looks pregnant? And if so, how long until she delivers? Thanks for any info/help given!!

Hi and welcome to the forum

She does not look gravid (pregnant), but she might be carrying sperm packets if she was kept in a tank with a male guppy. Common livebearers like guppies can carry sperm packets from previous matings and use these to fertilise eggs further down the track.

The gestation period is around 4 weeks from the time she fertilises the eggs, to when she gives birth.

A pregnant guppy will be a lot bigger!
