How long will it take for my guppy eggs to hatch?

Question

I have a male and a female guppy. The female had gotten quite large. She stayed inside a castle (in my tank) for about 24 hrs. When she came out she was skinny. I think she must have laid eggs. If she did, how long until they hatch? and if she didn't lay eggs, what did she do? Help please.

Answer 1

Guppies don't lay eggs, they're livebearers. Meaning they give birth to live fry.
Guppy fry are really small and almost transparent(until you look REALLY closely). But the chances are she ate about half, and the father/other fish might have eaten the other fry
Guppy fry will eat crushed egg yolk or crushed flakes. Make sure your filter is covered with a mesh net or something.

Or something better is try to find the fry and move them into a breeding or hospital tank, with the filer covered. About a week or two later you'll start to notice the fry as they have been growing, they'll usually take on a yellow/pinkish color. You can move them back as soon as they're big enough not to fit into the mouths of the adults.

Firstly guppies don't lay eggs they're are living bearers, which imply they provide beginning to frys (little fishes) as to how lengthy it's going to take the guppy to provide beginning is round 28 days however she would possibly abort her frys (now not provide beginning to them) because of pressure (from the male chasing her, hanging her in a web breeder or transporting her to a different fish tank) additionally check out the flip off the sunshine extra more often than not seeing that the guppies will probably be much less harassed so simply make certain you have got plenty of hiding house for the mummy so the opposite fish (in case you have any) do not trouble her and likewise for the fry to cover after being born seeing that the mummy and different fish will devour them a guppy can provide beginning to one million-one hundred frys relying at the situation of the fish tank and the fish itself after the frys are born you'll be able to cast off them to a different tank with clear out,heater, air pump and many others. additionally make certain you cycle your water or you'll be able to scoop a few water from the larger tank and use that water however in the event you wouldn't have a different tank for the frys simply make certain you have got plenty of crops so they may be able to disguise you'll be able to feed the frys beaten (particularly beaten) flake meals or if you do not brain spending cash you'll be able to purchase a few brine shrimp eggs and hatch them, feed them little however more often than not in the event you wish the fry to develop quicker you'll be able to upward thrust the temperature larger than traditional (eighty-85F), BUT while your doing this the fry will develop quicker however it may die quicker additionally *make certain you water is in a well situation, purchase a few water experiment package (for Nitrate, Nitrite, pH and many others) regularly the cuase for useless guppy/fry is becuase of the water *additionally make certain you have got a sponge clear out or quilt the tube of the clear out that sucks the water with a few piece of frabric so the fry wont be sucked up wish that is helping! :]

Guppies don't lay eggs, they have live babies...Other fish in the tank, including the mom and dad, will eat the babies, you have to seclude her the next time.

Answer 4

They don't lay eggs. When they have babies they eat them unless there is seaweed for them to go hide in. You have to look very closely because they are so small. Tiny specs in the water.
