Please click on the link and browse the photos. How long will it be before these females drop? Should I isolate any of them yet?

Answer 1

It certainly wouldn't hurt to go ahead and separate them. I saw one in the picture labeled two.jg that looks like she could have the babies within a few days, but the others aI would say 10 days to 2 weeks. But that's always a guess, so separating them early is a good idea.

Mine replaced into greater pregnant than that,in the past she died. keep in mind however,guppies are livebearers, so it's going to be tougher on them in the event that they provide beginning. attempt to maintain them mushy,and in all hazard seperate them from the adult men,which will help them to furnish a comfortable drop.There could be infants in a pair of weeks,yet dont excpect them any till now.

Answer 3

from start to finish it's about 28 days till babies are born from the look of these i would say you have about 2 wks for most of these you will notice that their belly will get hugh!

I would personally would wait about another 5 days before isolating them but I wouldn't wait to long for 2 reasons:
1, they could have them earlier than expected
2, moving them at end of the term could cause unwanted problems and she may have them to early which could lead to her death and/or less healthy and surviving babies.

Answer 4

Put all of them in separate breeders when they start to get REALLY big, but not have birth yet.
