Actually, I paid careful attention to my fry from the day they were born, and I noticed that the females develop first. They all have "gravid spots" even though there was no way for them to be pregnant, since all the males were underdeveloped. The only time you can't see a gravid spot on a female guppy is if they're way too young (under a month) or if they have a dark colored tail, since then you can't see the spot as easily.

positive, guppies can keep sperm for particularly a on a similar time as. until eventually finally the guppies you obtain were virgins (seperated from the boys via very actuality sexual adulthood) then they are pregnant. purely about all woman guppies have gravid spots, and it particularly is accepted that they are the children' eyes. a extra smart thanks to envision how rapidly it particularly is that your guppy will grant delivery is fatness. An early pregnant guppy is like this: ...__ ../..... .|......| ..__/ at the same time as a heavily pregnant guppy is extra like this: .....__ .../...... .(..........) ....__/ (please ignore with regard to the completed stops - with out them the symbols migrate to the left at the same time as printed =P) A guppy can delivery round 4 litters from one mating. So if she is pregnant now, possibilities are extreme extreme you received't want a male in there for some months. i don't think of of the gravid spot turning pink is distinctive a worry. i imagine of it particularly is extra a demonstration of nearing labour, as my platies' gravid spots have a tendency to redden some days before birthing.

gravid spots on guppies are over hyped -- young males often get spots that look like gravid spots but they of course can't be pregnant. the best way to tell is from the a top view -- they look fat from above early on.

Young guppies have sex,and the females become pregnant before they are fully grown. Baby guppies must be separated as soon as you can tell their sex by males and females in separate tanks,if you plan to breed them.

Age is not a barrier to motherhood for guppies.
