In all cases of pregnant guppies, my fish have hovered very low in the tank, or very high. Sometimes their pupils become enlarged as well, you'll also see more of the dark reddish color between their abdomen and tail. Be sure to separate the fry (baby guppies) immediately after birth as they will be eaten by their own mothers.

Congratulations! You will be able to see a black patch near its stomach which will grow bigger and bigger everyday. When this pouch seems big enough, you have to transfer the mother into a breeding tank. after a few days, or even the same day, it will give birth to live guppies. you will need a seperator to seperate the mum from the babies or she will eat them. There is no chance the babies will survive if they are not seperated as the bigger fishes will eat them, even the mother.

awww! you're gonna have a whole bunch of little ones swimming around! The future mom will not eat as much and will rest more. She will tend to stay in one spot. If the mother isnt fed soon enough after giving birth, she is gonna eat some babies, but she usually has many...she wont eat all of them. They are VERY hungry after birth and need to eat. it if fine to leave the babies in the same tank as their mother if you feed her enough and their are many plants in the tank for the little ones to hide in. I left mine in the tank and I am pretty sure about 20 survived.

I'd say that if they were pregnant, they definitely are going to have babies...

They should have a small tube sticking out of them and their belly should be inflated
