how long have you had them? Female guppies almost always are pregnant when they come from the store and they can store sperm for up to 8 litters of fry. So you could have pregnant females for 8 or 9 months after you buy them.

because of the fact puppy shops get the female guppies pregnant! they do no longer decrease to rubble and get a male in with the girls. The puppy shops get the guppies already pregnant while shipped. you will possibly desire to have asked approximately that for the duration of the puppy keep! Now think approximately a great number of guppy fry and you do no longer understand what to feed them,the thank you to maintain them or something. Like i stated you (ought to) have a great number of guppy fry. Guppies consume their fry (fry ability toddlers) Even their mom does! Your lady guppies are all pregnant in the event that they have gravid spots! good success (:

The Gravid spots indicate that they may be pregnant. If the gravid spot darkens within a week they are pregnant.You probably bought them already pregnant.It is said that after they give birth they store sperm and can get pregnant again without physically mating.

if they have dark gravid spots they may be pregnant. a way to check is to shut the aquarium hood light off at night for a hour and when you turn it back on lokk at the females gravid spot to see if it is brighter. is so then shes pregnant.

guppies are nearly always pregnant. don't do anything drastic to save babies, if you have a lot of plastic plants a few babies will survive, otherwise all the fish will eat them.
