Answer 1

Works just the same as your mollies did . They breed the same, give birth the same and you handle the babies the same.

Answer 2

Female Guppies do not normally lay eggs like most female fish, instead Female Guppies release small live babies. Usually they release a group with about 12 to 30 babies over a period of a few hours, and they do this again every 3 or 4 weeks. In fact, once a Female Guppy is fertilized by a Male Guppy, that female can continue to release baby Guppies for many months without a Male Guppy in the aquarium.

After they are released by their mother, baby Guppies float to the bottom of the aquarium and often swim in a hurky-jurky way for a few hours. They are probably learning how to control their fins. But soon they are swimming well and find their way into the big clump of Java Ferns, where they look for tiny bits of food. A little later the baby Guppies swarm around the sponge filter, and pick bits of food off the sponge.(This is an excerpt from the following website:)

They'll prob come soon. After the babies are born try putting the male in a separate tank for about a week. Otherwise he'll just be chasing her and she wont be able to recouoperate. Also, provide plants in the tank for the babies to hide in. The mother will eat her babies. You could separate the babies from the parents

Answer 4

the gravid spot get really black , and they get huge, you may even be able to see little eyes through her side , the gestation period for guppies is about 28 days. make sure that you have alot of leafy pants in the tank for babies to hid , even float some plants at the top to stop them from getting eaten by momma, or other fish in the tank , i dont reccomend a breeding box , as they can be stressfull on mom , and kill her ... cover your filter intake with a panty hose, and rubber band to prevent babies from geting sucked up by the filter, just make sure that the panty hose is brand new, and rinsed in hot water before covering the filter intake .. and congrats on being a good fish keeper by asking .. need more information ?? go here , sign up for the forums, and start reading

oh needed to add that after a few births you can expect upto 100 baby fish from one mother , i personally had one mom give me 98 babies in one birth, they also can carry sperm, and will continue to get pregnant over , and over again even without a male in the tank.. up to 8-10 times, before sperm packets run out of her..
