i just bought a female guppy today and the gavied spot is black meaning it's pregnant . also the tummy is fat and i'm wounder when does the fry comes out??? how long will it take??? please help me out.. any suggestion will be appresate.. Thank you..
 
I have a lot of guppies myself and my wife and I noticed that when they are close to give birth their bellies are more square-ish they look "boxy". It is hard to tell when it got pregnant since you purchase it that way but they normally are for 20 to 30 days depending on several factors, overcrowding, water temp,the amount of male... Hope this helps.
 
it is hard to say when she will drop the fry...
IME, they seclude themselves in plants, etc when they are going to drop the fry.

hmm,, feed her plenty of food, keep the tank warm and lots of hiding spaces. That is the best way to keep a guppy happy.

But guppies produce fry about every 21-28 days. Nothing to worry or panic about. Guppies have been doing this for millions of years without our help and can still do it well without it. And the odds of you knowing when this date is going to happen when she drops will be 30-1.

Just put in some hornwort or java fern and she should be ok.
 
I bought a pregnant female guppy from petsmart; about a week later she gave fry. Usually guppies will give out fry around morning so you got to watch out if you see fry because guppy fry are a good meal for other fish. During birth, my guppy was hiding around plants. I got 20 guppies out of her and i think my other guppy i bought the same day as the other one is about to give birth!! TOO MANY GUPPIES

She could just be a little over weight, that’s what happen when I had my first guppy, I didn’t see a spot but she was really big, it turned out that I was over feeding.
