It's fairly accurate. I wasn't sure if I could copy it so I'll just post the link.

Hey thanx Cam!

I had a read to see fo I could determine where my three females were up to; I think they're at the start, middle and towards the end! It's a pretty handy reference for people who aren't so sure

Thanks Cam

I am at wits end with one of my guppies lol

twice now she has been as fat as anything with a huge very dark black gravid spot and I have moved her to the breeding tank, she gets herself all worked up and within and hour her gravid spot has lightnened a huge amount and no sign of fry

Is it possible that she is sucking them up LOL

sounds strange but man she is driving me bonkers lol

Hey BeDazzled,

When I was breeding my guppies, I found I was most successful when I had a tank specific for my females.

Here's what I did - I had a 40 litre tank set up like a tank, gravel, plants, caves etc. I had my best breeding females in the tank (usually only two at a time), and i would go out and purchase a male i wanted to breed from. The male went in with the girls, and I basically waited until she dropped her fry. I have been lucky enough to watch her birth her fry as well which was cool!

Once she had dropped all her fry, I usually caught all the fry and placed them in to a breeding net, did a small water change, and depending on how the female looked, I either left the male in, or took him out to go in the community tank to look pretty.

I eventually purchased a tank specifically to raise and grow the fry in as well, although I have given it all up for a while and all the guppies are all together at the mo. I have two very gravid females and neither seem to want to have babies just at the moment!

Keep trying and I'm sure you'll get there in the end.
