IS my guppy ready to have its fry2007-11-24 23:37:28

i have put one of my fat fantail guppy's into a seperate floating marina tank im sure its pregnant due to size and brown marks on belly!!

she usually stays at top of marnia but all day has been resting on the bottom of the base divider! is this what they do when getting ready to give birth?

i have also noticed another free swimming guppy at the bottom of the tank so wondered if this was also pregnant or maybe ill, as they usually are always top swimmers in my tank!!

Guppys are like rampant rabbits.you dont seem to have much weed for hiding in..as we speak you have babies..get some more weed for them to hide in ..whoopie doos

hmmm. when they're ready to give birth they'll flap their fins really fast. But i'm not sure what's going on with your guppies.

just to be safe do a 10-20% partial water change. Add 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt per gallon of water. That'll improve the health of most fish.. And guppies like a little salt naturally in their habitat.

Yep, I agree with the other person comment. I normally put lots of plants doesn't matter they're artificial. Just try them to be with possibilities for the fry to hide including some of the surface. If some are eaten, that's life but the survivor would be the very best.

A lot of fish get really stressed being in those little floating containers and maybe that's why she is acting like that. Sometimes they actually abort the pregnancy because they are so stressed. But since you have another fish that is doing the same thing check your water params and make sure something isn't off.

Maybe the new tank water hadnt matured enough.. a little shock to the guppy.
