February 1, 200818 yr comment_210716 A female guppy that isn't pregnant is a rare thing They can drop fry every 4 - 6 weeks. Transferring her to a breeding trap may cause her to abort. Better to leave her in the main tank with lots of floating fine leaved plants for the fry to hide in. Report
February 1, 200818 yr comment_210717 A female guppy that isn't pregnant is a rare thing I wonder how many times that has been said on this site :lol: Report
February 1, 200818 yr Author comment_210732 there is a big guppy female but the males are only small but they have full colouration will she get pregnant from these yet, btw that other guppy is only a little bit bigger than a young just full coloured male Report
February 1, 200818 yr comment_210742 A female guppy can store sperm for many months and have several broods without being anywhere near a male. As long as they are big enough to do the job the current males can impregnate her (but she will already have stored sperm from the previous male(s). Keep her in the main tank then. Java moss is ideal for the fry to hide in Report
February 12, 200818 yr Author comment_213602 wat does it mean when the females gravid spot starts getting little red bloodworm type things in it Report
February 12, 200818 yr comment_213605 Sometimes you can see the eyes of the babies in the female's stomach. Not sure that you see much red though (racks brains to remember last time saw babies inside female). Like humans and cats, it is amazing how young guppies can breed. Good luck!! Report
February 12, 200818 yr comment_213606 Could be camelanus. Look at this... http://www.aquaticphotos.com/details.ph ... fhf8gutn00 I just did a real quick Google to find that link. http://www.google.co.nz/search?sourceid ... =camelanus Report
February 12, 200818 yr comment_213607 Maybe you could net out the babies once they are born and put them in the breeding trap rather than risk the Mum aborting?? Just an idea Report
February 12, 200818 yr Author comment_213608 um lol mustve been imaging the red thingys cause theres no there now, but she has a real dark gravid spot, just moved her to the floating breeding thingy how do i know if she aborts? Report
February 12, 200818 yr comment_213617 If she aborts you will see dead curled up babies lying in the breeding trap - if she doesn't eat them first. I haven't had much trouble with guppies aborting from putting them in a breeding trap, just swordtails, so fingers crossed... Sam Report
February 13, 200818 yr Author comment_213944 very confused now she has a yellow blob coming out of her Report
