Cool down cool, down i use to have pregnent guppies every month i did not need help in was happy they still breed.now i am in singapore but they are in thailand.you should just belive that it is not pregment and when they come out some may die but not to get a head ache.Most of them will hide and when they grow up they will come out and some will just swim normal that what my bany guppies do.What type of food do you feed your guppies if the food is abit bg they buy small pelletes so the babys can eat and live.But it is nice to hear that it is pregment.Is it the first time you are having baby guppies because when they grow they will not be the same colour as there parents like humans children look the same as the parents but guppies babys do not look the same also do not clean the tank or maybe some babys have may come out already but you cant see when they are babys.oh ya and when the babies come out you may not be able to see them because they are so small that is why i told you not to clean your tank.Also you do not need to clean it because guppies like to stay in dirty tanks.





Good luck wish the babies to grow big and pretty.Also good luck to you for getting babies and keep cool.HELP!!! (pregnant guppy) ill take as many answers and the best one will get 10 points!?
Go ahead and put her in the breeder box if your sure she is pregnant. floating grass in the top and grass on the bottom will give the babys a place to hide. The mother will eat her young if you don't remove her after she gives birth. no they come out in a ball and pop out straight quickley and swim away. After she has a couple the other fish will follow her and eat the young.
guppy are usually easy fish to maintain, i suggest putting the pregnant guppy in a breeding tank, you know, the little tank that gets hooked on the inside top of the bigger tank. keeping her inside for along time will not harm her, when pregnant they can be rather aggressive.


best of luck
I have a pregnant guppy and i am just leaving it in the tank like the others. Just leave it alone and let it do its own thing! just make it like in wild life where there are predators and prey. At least a couple will stay alive and maybe even alot! But if you really want to put it in a breeding net then go ahead. It shouldnt hurt to put it in early. I hope i helped and good luck!!
Guppies are pretty good at doing things by themselves. I'd make sure the tank is well planted and there's lots of hiding places. Just leave them alone and she will give birth and the fry will hide in the plants. They do much better this way, the mom isn't stressed out by being trapped in a tiny space and you don't have to try to maintain a separate area for the fry.





The fry are born rolled in a little ball and pop open as they fall. They are very tiny and look like eyeballs on a clear body. They have enough egg sac that they don't need to eat for a few days. Then just make sure you grind up some of the fish flakes really fine so it sinks down for them.

Just calm down now!! Guppies are a pretty easy going fish. I raised thousands when i was younger and they had tons of babies! I just kept the females in the tank with the others and the babies flourished! Just let it be all natural! PS the fish do kinda look like poop when they are born. : D
It would be perfectly fine to put her in the breeding net early if it is needed, just make sure not to stress her out, that she has plenty of oxygen, and that the water is warm and clean. If she begins to cower in the corner, and if her poop begins to look white and stringy, then you are starting to get close. Give it a few more days and then when she looks like she's so fat she's going to explode and when there is a very dark spot near the back of her stomach, then she's going to give birth.





When she does, the fry will look like small black dots swimming around. Good luck!





Oho.. also! The fry might seem dead at first, but they are actually ';playing dead'; sometimes they will sink to the bottom, and then they will ';come back to life'; and start swimming around again ^.^





(Were you talking about me answering? It would be appreciated but i'm really online to help people out with their fish problems :)
