nevchewy Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 are you sure the guppy is pregnant? just wondering if you have seen the guppy give birth before... i have had guppies give birth in breeding tanks, as well in the main tank. Mine seem to like being in my plastic plants when it comes time. Not to say that they need the shelter though. I have had a guppy in the past that i bought from a LFS (local fish store) that i thought was pregnant and she never did give birth... she just always had a belly. It was a nice looking female and that is why i bought it. the male guppies in the tank never bothered her as well and she never produced fry... not sure if she was just fat or if there was a medical issue... Just my experience... nevchewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) yea 2 months it sounds like you have a trio of porkys. 40 days on the outside. Edited May 6, 2005 by HOSStile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Try adding hornwort to your tank. I know whenever I've got hornwort in with guppies they reproduce like rabbits. Great cover for the babies, and the adults when they're in with cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
