[Is my guppy pregnant??]

Are you sure it’s a glass guppy?

[Hi! Is my guppy still pregnant? Two days ago, I saw that she was very fat and her bra I’d spot was very red but this morning I checked her and she’s not fat anymore!]

Congratulations on your new fry!

Are you asking whether she could still have more fry in this batch, or whether she is still carrying future batches of fry? When guppies mate, the female stores several packets of male sperm and uses them to fertilize her eggs whenever she is ready. So, from one day spent in a tank with males, she may store enough sperm packets to continue having fry every 30 days or so for 6 to 8 months.

So, your mom guppy may not have any more actual fry in her, but she is likely still pre-loaded for her next several batches.

I have also heard that albino guppies are famous for eating their fry, but I have not raised them so I cannot say. I raise my guppy fry in the same tank as the parents but I have a bajillion plants in there for the fry to hide in, and I feed the parents 3x a day for the first week so they won't be so hungry that they are eager to hunt down fry in the plants. By the time the babies are a week old, they are pretty savvy and past the stage where parents can easily eat them. 

In the past I have also raised fry in the tank and removed the parent fish to another tank. This way the parents cannot eat the babies and the babies have the benefit of being in the aged tank.

I hope  you get a lot of enjoyment out of those babies!

 

Thanks for the congratulations all the guppies sadly died though. Thank you anyway

Is this the red spot you are talking about?

There's a few things to address here. First that tank isn't suitable for a guppy. It's very small and it also does not have any filter or heater. Guppies are tropical fish and thrive on a tank around 76-78F. They are also highly active fish and requires space. This is especially true if you have females who will be giving birth. I would suggest you try a 10 gallon tank. This is a very good starter size. 

Another issue is that the tank was not cycled. Getting a larger tank will actually make this part easier for you. It is much easier to keep a larger tank stable than a smaller one. I suggest you read up on the nitrogen cycle. A brand new tank does not have the beneficial bacteria needed to keep the water healthy. Without that bacteria, the water will build up with toxins and kill the fish. I suggest reading many articles and watching many videos on the process. 

Here is an article I suggest. The first half will explain the nitrogen cycle. The 2nd half is a step by step process for cycling a tank with fish in it:

Thank you 👍

There's so many factors that can play into why it died. To narrow it down I have some questions:

1.  How long has the tank been set up?

2.  What are your parameters?  If you don't know what this means that's ok. Just tell me and I can fill you in. 

3.  What size tank?

4.  What other fish are in the tank?

5.  How many male guppies?  Females?

6.  How long have you had the guppy?

7.  Can you share a pic of the tank?

1. The tank has been set up for 1

day

2. idk about the parameters but I fed it some of those tiny shrimps in salt water. Of course I diluted the water many times before feeding but I think that was the cause for the fish’s death

3. the tank is pretty big (I think) for one guppy 

4.there are no other fish in the tank

5. No other fish

6. I bought the guppy about 5-6 days ago from a fish farm. I checked if it had tail rot or any other sickness and it didn’t. It’s other tank mates didn’t too.

 

note: I moved another guppy into the tank

(After throughly cleaning it out ofc)

Also, I noticed a red spot on the face of my guppy that recently gave birth. Do you know what is wrong with it? Tysm😄😄😄😄

Unless you personally raised it and separated it as a juvenile before they became mature it's not a question of "is my you pregnant?" it's "how pregnant is my guppy?"

Ok

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking, what type of guppies are they? They look very beautiful

[Does my albino guppy have callamanus worms and tail rot?]

I can't tell off your picture if it's camallanus worms he's pictures of fish with camallanus worms for comparison at first fish will become bloated as the the parasitc infection become chronic the intestine become compromised and fish can't absorb food leading to a sunken belly recommended treatment for camallanus worms is four course of levamisole active ingredient in expel p once a week so you would treat on week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4 that if you need to treat with fins am not seeing any Reddening to the edges of the fins I would just add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3  gallons and monitor for a week @Guppylover999

 

Does she have tail rot and callamanus worms? 
THANK YOU!!!!!😄😄

[Does my albino guppy have callamanus worms and tail rot?]

I’m really worried for her

Does she have tail rot and callamanus worms?

[Hi! Is my guppy still pregnant? Two days ago, I saw that she was very fat and her bra I’d spot was very red but this morning I checked her and she’s not fat anymore!]

Here are some photos. 
I was very excited for her to give birth. I did some research and found out albino guppies were prone to eating their fry after they give birth.

The last photo is the guppy’s fry. They’re so cute!!! ≧◡≦

I just realised that the guppy’s photos were taken upside down lol

[Hi, my female guppy gave birth to her first fry about an hour ago. How ever, she hasn’t been giving birth ever since. Is she still pregnant ? I want to put her back into the community tank. (This is the clearest picture of her I have)]

[Does my guppy have sickness]

Hi, recently my pregnant (I think) guppy (sorry the photo is a bit blurry) is always at the bottom of the tank. Recently, I had another guppy die and it was always at the bottom. Does She have some kind of sickness?  If she does, I will need to move her To a quarantine tank.

[Hi, can someone tell me if my guppy is pregnant? If she is, can someone tell me when she would deliver? Thanks]

Hi thanks for your reply! 😃
