I have a really big guppy. I think she is pregnant but I'm not sure. She has been big for about three weeks and I just want to be sure she's not sick or anything.

Yeah, I had a guppy give birth very recently and she looked exactly like that. Prepare yourself, you can get dozens of fry: mine only gave birth to 12, but this is the low end of the spectrum.

I'd say she's within a week of giving birth, tops.

Shes definitely pregnant, if you look closely, you can see a gravid spot. I would have to agree with NinjaPirate as far as her time of delivery.

She didn't have her babies yet, but I hope she does soon! Thanks so much for your replies!

looking at the picture anyday now. Your tank doesn't have enough vegitation to keep the young ones safe. I would get a breeding set up NOW if you won't to keep them. If you cant do this then get something to put her in and add lots of plants in there.

Agree with desertgoldhound.... she's preggers, and get extra coverage for the fry. I used anachris as top floating plants or you can isolate them in the tank w/ a hang on fish net breeder.

Just a quick question.

Have you sent her to lamaze classes?

Here are some tips to help her deliver.

Have her take a walk around the maternity ward.
Let her have sex.
Have the DR. Induce it.


Good luck

I think those are the tips for how to induce a human to deliver a baby and the prior poster was applying them to this piscine situation.
