    @KaitlynElisabeth18 Glad you enjoyed it…thanks for the kind words!? God Bless!

    @MrCraftsman123 The tank used in the video is a Marineland Eclipse System Six (6 gallon) which comes with a water filter and light. You can also use the Marineland Dual-Temp Precision Aquarium Heater.? God Bless!

    @StrayingSoul Guppies are live-bearers which means the babies hatch from eggs inside the mama guppy before they are born. The mama guppy will get a big,? black spot on the back of their belly when she is pregnant. It takes 28 days for the babies to be born from the time she gets pregnant. The eggs hatch inside of the mama guppy and then she must push the babies out, the babies are not pushing themselves out of her. God Bless!

    @Mriknowimcool You don’t want to put her in the breeder tank too soon…it will stress her out. I watched my? mama guppy through a few pregnancies to figure out when she was going to start giving birth. Right before she gave birth the back, lower part of her belly looked like a hard corner angle instead of a rounded belly shape. She may start acting strangely like not eating or staying away from the other fish. You may have to wait until she starts giving birth before you will know. God Bless!

    @TheSnikkerdoodle
    No, Breeding Traps are an option.? Think of it this way.
    the guppy females are known to stress out in them, but if you put them in there right before birth, they will likely be okay. I currently have 4 Guppies(3 females, 1 male) and about 37 fry in a 20 gallon. The fry were all free raised in the tank, and as far as I know, only 1 or 2 have been eaten. The trap is completely preference.

    @superdataman Well, she’s done giving birth for now. I think there are more inside cause shes still dark, I have a total of 15 fry, that are still alive in the breeding net, they have already doubled in size. My? molly is also pregnant, shes a huge deep orange one. very pretty.

  • Jagzys87 says:

    @superdataman She had her guppies last night. There is 11 total. Somehow some of the fry were outside of the breeding net. Im sure there were? more that my other fish ate, especially the 2 Gourami’s. I hope I find more, and my other female’s are also pregnant.

    he’s not like “im here for ya” he’s more like “FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!”?

  • peeweet123 says:

    Cute Sound lol :D ?

  • superdataman says:

    @Kayla31455? Sorry to hear that. I pray that you are comforted during this time. God Bless!

  • superdataman says:

    @Jagzys87 It sounds like she is acting in a way that indicates she may be ready to give birth, but it’s hard to say for sure without observing your guppy over a period of time. I pray? that she has many babies…God Bless!

  • StrayingSoul says:

    @superdataman Ahhh, okay. Nifty :o I? have learned something today!

  • LinkIsAwesome117 says:

    I had a guppy that I thought was pregnant, but I learned the hard way that it? was a tumor…

  • Jagzys87 says:

    My female was pregnant when I brought her home. She is now in a breeder net. Her gravid spot is VERY dark, about the size of a pea, but she is not boxed in her belly. She is acting strage, at times, just chillin at the bottom of the net, then other times she jerks around quickly. And even rubs her belly on the plants. She’s eating, but then spitting her food? back out. Would you say she is close to giving birth? Regardless of her not having a boxed stomach?

  • Kayla31455 says:

    Thanks for answering my question but sadly she died Tuesday giving birth. Im guessing it? was her first time. Thanks again God Bless

  • KaitlynElisabeth18 says:
