withoutkeys Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Hey all! I got some Guppies to add to my tanks, and one of the females I bought seems very obviously pregnant. She’s been growing over a few days, and now is HUGE! I’m stuck in the hospital, so I have people caring for everyone. I ordered a breeding tank to be here within 3 days, but like… what else do I do? What else do i need? Anything you can tell me, let me KNOW! Haha thank you! Pic of her for tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWilk Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Just do nothing, they will be fine. Or they will get eaten. Either way, there will be more very soon, again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justnotrook Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 (edited) It’s always nice starting a guppy breeding project. I personally prefer endler’s live bearers, but guppies can get to have some pretty cool colors. Selectively breeding guppies is even more fun, just separating the worse looking ones of the batch into a separate tank. Before my 30 gallon crashed about 3 years ago, I took all the good guppies and made a nice $200 profit. I had tons in there.

AdamS Posted Tuesday at 02:21 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:21 AM I’ve got an older female that blows up before every batch of fry she has. Never had a problem with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
