NickD Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I believe this is a female glass guppy (not very sure). She is pretty fat and has the dark spot behind her, which I watched a video and it means that she might be pregnant! Do any of you know for sure?

lefty o Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 since there is a male in that tank with her, it is a 99.8% chance she is pregnant. in 3 or 4 weeks, you'll know for sure. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosedub Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hilarious. It’s funny because before I even read the post I was like “yes….she is pregnant” female guppies always be carrying if they are sexually mature. Honestly they have almost made me believe in immaculately conception fish style. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Any time a female guppy has been in the same tank as a male guppy within the last 8 months, you can assume she is pregnant. Female guppies can store sperm packets for months after they mate with a male, and then they will use one packet per month to have babies every 30 days or so for several months, even if the male is removed from the tank after the first day.

NickD Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 @PineSongi actually got these yesterday from the fish shop, the male and female were in the same tank before I got them. The fish keeper says he overfeeds his fish to make them a little fat I thought that’s what it was, but we shall see if I get any babies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOtrees Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 On 7/21/2023 at 2:50 PM, NickD said: She is pretty fat FYI she'll likely get a lot bigger. If you haven't had guppies, and haven't had them pregnant/give birth, it can be a bit alarming how big they get. You'll keep thinking "she's gotta have those babies any day now" and it'll still be like 2 weeks or more before she does. - Do you have lots of fine cover in the tank where the babies can hide? - Do you have another tank where you can separate the male and female? If you just have one of each, that female will get pretty stressed from being the lone focus of that male's attention, especially right when the babies come and just after.
