My guppy is huge pregnant and I just noticed her swiming short distances and then like falling to the bottom. She also has a tail sticking out(no lie), but she has not had a baby. When will she have her babies?

Can I seperate her into anything when she's done? It's late here and stores are closed.

Did she have her babies yet?
If you seen already a tail sticking out it should be just a matter of time.
You have posted this question 2 hours ago, she should have had at least one by now, if not you may need to help her out that she doesn't die
If you need help feel free to email me
Hope that helps
Good luck

Just transfer your guppy to another container with new fresh water and water plants. It need in a new water to labor.
Guppy give live birth. They are different from other fish that lay egg. the little fishies need to be separated from the adults. To avoid being eaten.
You also need to separate the mother from the little fish when she finish giving birth. She will also eat her babies when she gets hungry.

just leave it, don't worry, she'll take care of it herself. trust me, how do u think they survive in the wild!? but just so u no, it's normal for guppys 2 have babies from eggs and sometimes their not born from eggs.........i no its wierd, but its also true. anyway, she will be fine, and u gotta be sure to watch her closely, cause guppy parents eat the babies. what u gotta do is after the babies are born, but them in a seperate tank with all of the same things as the other one. guppies a solitary creatures, so i don't no how they would do with that many guppys in 1 container. just be careful, cause guppys normally don't live that long after they have babies (i THINK, i'm not quite sure, but if i were u i'd b prepared)
hope the info hellped!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

you just have to wait. dont try to move her anywhere else until the babies are born. after the babies are born you might want to move them into a breeder net or else the mother will eat them. when my fish go into labor i leave the light off. they seem to do better that way.
has she had any babies yet? i'm not sure when you posted this so she could be fine now.

provide her time to end giving beginning she might have extra with the subsequent 30 minutes. The twins go away on my own nature will take over. as quickly as she is finished giving beginning i might separate her from the lads for approximately 24 hours it supplies her time to sit down down back

Any time now does she have a mate?
And when she give birth you should separate the fry into a empty tank and feed him baby brine shrimp.
And when big enough feed him flakes.
Hope this helps
