My guppy is pregnant, I thought she was about to give birth so I kept my eye on her until I realized she was pooping *sigh*

[@sophiab.7375]

My two guppies were heavily pregnant so I put them in a breeding tank, 2 days later and I came home today to 28 babies. ❤️

[@KeepingFishSimple]

that is AWESOME

[@4brotherFilms]

Wow so cute

[@condorX2]

Sounds like Inbreeding lesbianism 😋

[@MrVintagecyclist]

Is it safe to leave 'any' fish in a breeding tank that long?. I was advised by my aquatics centre, only to leave fish in for a few hours!!.

[@lifewithkirsten7670]

@@MrVintagecyclist breeding box and a breeding tank are different things. Typically a breeding tank is a 10 gallon tank or more used specifically for breeding fish or housing pregant fish to keep them safe. A breeding box is a small box that hangs inside a tank to keep the pregnant fish and their babies once born safe for short periods of time

You keep looking back at these aquariums like you've stolen them 😉

Lmao rofl That hilarious

[@shbafeenchan1224]

So annoying

[@egiboi22]

same thing that bothered me watching the video

[@Boo-pv4hn]

Remember when she’s getting ready to give birth her behaviour will change, she will stay lower to the ground, she will be contracting up to a few weeks before, it will look a little like spasms, when it’s closer to the time she will also look like ahead stander so her back will be up in the air and her head down, she may stay in place like this for a while and it’s likleu she may also go off her food

[@worddunlap]

I seperate when she is squared up and is at least 21 days into gestation. The average is 24 days but has gone as long as 30.

[@brittafrancis7259]

Best,informative video and advice seen/given,Thank You!!

[@darrellfergusson4381]

[@ance2933]

Thank you this was very helpful as I've owned several platys over the last last three years and I went to buys some guppies for the first time with the intention to breed them ( I got 1 male and 2 females) and as soon as I had released them into the tank I realised that the to females were already pregnant. Thankfully I already have a breeder box

I’ve had one molly and one guppy since they were very small, several months. Woke up two weeks ago and there were fry in my tank. I counted 4 at first but now there are only two. I was shocked to learn that my molly and guppy mated. The fry stay hidden for the most part at the bottom of my tank ( I have a nice amount of plants in my tank). Can’t wait until they are bigger so I can see what they will look like.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I've bred guppies years ago, I only had guppies in the tank and used to just fish out the babies and put them in another tank when they dropped. I have a new tank now with a few guppies and have bought a breeder box. I'm hoping I can catch them in time because I'd love to have some more, I also have a pair of platys, mollys and sword tails. Your tip on the squared off look is a good tip. I'll keep an eye out. I'm hoping I get babies from the others too.

[@evaparker7142]

I had guppies like years. This is the first time I've herd about the square mom

[@ChaosAngel1331]

I had gotten a bunch of guppies and mollies last Friday as a surprise gift but you could imagine my shock when the next day a molly and a guppy were giving birth at the same time. I was absolutely shocked since I had no idea they were pregnant... and sadly was not prepared enough so 2/3's of the babies had died in the process It turns out that 4 of the 8 female I have are pregnant, just my luck ... as a first-time owner this is going to be tough so thanks for the video!

[@Silvic20]

Hi what the brand of your aquarium lights

What size tank is that?

I had a female guppy that developed dropsy and she became pregnant, she ended up dying a week after giving birth to the guppy fry, her fry are 2 months old now! Can dropsy be passed onto the guppy fry if the mother had it?

I just got endlers thanks for the help

[@Nono-jw9vo]

[@Sumiya-lp8mm]

Thank you for the info I had to remove 2 very pregnant females from the tank and put them into a feeder box, the males were harassing them. Then, they began to harrass each other...so, 2 breeder boxes. They were calm for a few now frantic up and down in the boxes, I guess this is go time!

[@stephenireland2492]

What happens if you are in quarantine and you do not have a breeding box??

[@jagadeshwarimanivel5824]

You can put them in a separate tank

[@Plantlover344]

Can you order one online?

[@courtneyholder3400]

My 2 female guppies bred with endlers and one gave birth to 10 fry already but the second female has been squared off for almost a week now, and i can't tell when she with give birth. Im hoping its not a bad batch because of the hybridization. She's already isolated in a 10 gallon. Any tips?

His tank is litteraly jellyfish jam with those colors

[@rkd184]

i feel so tall while warching your videos

[@TaqveemKhalid]

Mine has had that shape for the past few months but I'm not seeing any fry. Could it be they are dead and stuck inside?

[@muhammaddhorat6922]

My tank is 11-12 gallons (54 Litres). I currently have 20 small guppies🥶 i dont know how im going to deal with the new borns when they come

[@Rishabby96]

Mine didn’t increase in size so I just assumed she wasn’t pregnant til one of my other fishes started chasing her round and I had to hurry and put her in a breeder box before they ate the fry. So far she’s only had one and it’s not moving and it’s probably been around 30mins. This is my first time keeping guppies so I’m not sure what to do at this point.

[@papatrollisfun7348]

Ik this is a very late comment... I just watched the vid. 2 of my guppy’s were pregnant and 1 already gave birth to 13 babies. Some might’ve been eatin when they came out. My other guppy did not give birth yet but how do I tell when she is gonna give birth. I’d it normal for her body to get more color? She is getting some blue in her now.......

[@alwaysyouramanda]

How long does it take from start to finish?? I just spend two hours fishing up two babies from the back where the filter works. I’m not about to save anymore

[@samantha3752]

I just got guppies, I don't have a breeder box so idk what to do with my prego fish. 3 of them look like they are about to pop but haven't yet. Will they give birth in the regular tank?

[@laporchesteward8466]

Can you breed a male guppy with a swordtail

[@svgrrs]

I have a guppy and she always stays at the bottom so I dont know if she is sick or in labor or ready to give birth while watching this Is know what to do Thankyou!!

[@annacrossan2013]

My guppies live with a pearl gourami, phantom tetras and neon tetras, do you think fi I seperate the mum from the rest of the guppies and the fish and if the fry live with the other fish, do you think they would get eaten? And also if I do seperate the fry from the tank, do they need a filter/air pump

[@user-rg5jr5bq8t]

I think you should buy or make a breeder box or set up a smaller tank for the guppy to give birth, then feed and grow the fry until they’re big enough to not fit into the mouth of the other fishes in your community tank

[@sharonballantyne1735]
