Guppies can be pregnant for up to about 30 days. You may still have a week or two to wait. When her belly is really large and she is hiding a lot would be the time to expect the babies.

well if your temperature is at 78-80F They should be dropping babies at any given time. If you don't see any there is a good chance that the female guppies are eating the fry or the filter is sucking them up.. It's a good idea to put some bushy plants ..fake or real so the babies can hide in them...oh by the way did the females get impregnated by the males? most stores normally sell the males separated from the females.. the best food to feed baby guppies is to crumble up fish food until it is powder. Spirulina Flakes are best for coditioning and feeding your guppies . .

in case you have different fish interior the tank, they may well be eating the fry. while she gets on the threshold of having them (or seems to be, besides), separate her right into a smaller tank (i exploit a a million gallon for this, then launch the mum interior of 24 hours of ending - frequently much less). If she nevertheless is going in the process an analogous issues as earlier, then it particularly is probable a repro. or rigidity concern. I particularly have one guppy that does this on occasion, and that i've got discovered that putting her in a tank of warmer water (my considerable tank is between 70-seventy two, not probable all that heat) will on occasion set off exertions. final time I did this she gave beginning to all her fry interior of a million hour of being put in the hotter water (i don't acclimate her to the hotter water first - promptly into it she is going). I try this while she seems somewhat pregnant, superb dark gravid spot, superb and flat/squared off. on occasion the fry will look particularly untimely - i've got had many born with yolk sacs - yet they often take in the yolk interior of 24 hours (much less, frequently, in my journey - extra like 3-5 hours), and that all of them do properly. it may or would possibly not paintings to your woman, even nevertheless it particularly is properly worth a shot. If at any ingredient she seems to be too under pressure with the variations, positioned her lower back interior the considerable tank and go away her be. respond - I in no way particularly examine the temperature of the hotter water- it in actuality started as an test. I frequently decide it as "slightly warmer than lukewarm" once you stick your hand in it. i might estimate it particularly is as heat as 80 stages. sturdy success!

up to 30 days. If they are stressed the babies will be born prematurely. I know it is hard to wait but DO NOT TRY TO STRESS THEM. The fry might end up dying and the guppies.
