Is She OK? - Guppy About to Give Birth

[Cinnebuns]

Bear with me. This is my first pregnant guppy and she lost her first batch so I'm kinda excited and such. For over 24 hours she has shown signs that she's nearing giving birth. About an hour and a half ago she became boxy, went into the corner, and started showing signs of contractions. I'm mostly leaving her be so I don't add stress. My only concern is she seems to have lost some color and is more "see through."  I'm assuming that's fine and because her body is under stress but I want to make sure. Sharing a pic of her earlier today and then just now. Sorry she's hiding pretty well so I got the best angle I could.

It could be just the normal behavior of a female guppy about to give birth soon. As for the discoloration I have absolutely no idea. Best of luck hopefully nothing goes wrong this time.

she looks healthy, and will more than likely be just fine. once in a blue moon you will lose a first time mother guppy while giving birth, but when that happens there is nothing you can do.  be calm, be patient, it'll happen soon.

I don’t think you have too much to worry about. I hope all goes well! Please keep us posted.

I've noticed my guppies get pale when they are stressed, like when I take them out of a tank and put them in another. I would imagine that birthing fry might be stressful.

I hope yours has safely had fry by now.
