I have a female guppy that has a very black gravid spot, but she is still pretty skinny. Does it matter how big she gets or is it the darkness of her gravid spot? :confused:
 
I have always gone by how dark their gravid spot is. Last week, I was looking at her, deciding when I should move her into the net breeder when suddenly a fry popped out. Quickly moved her. Obviously she had several before that as we now have about 6 living in the big tank with another 20 or so in the net breeders (2). Will be moving all fry to their new tank this weekend. My mature female is always fat, even after having 50 fry!
 
Yeh, i have a mature female and after giving birth she blew up to as big as she was before. I have a few young guppies and I have never seen a young guppy pregnant.....so I dont know how big they get. But thanks, i should probably move her soon.
