how to know when my female guppies are pregnant??

Question

I Have two female guppies and one male. they have been in the same tank for about two weeks and a half but i havent realy seen any changes in the females! when do i start seeing changes

Answer 1

it tkes longer than that the gestation period for a guppy is 28-30 days so youve stil got a long ways to go. Just be patient. The fremale should be starting to show a round bump on her underside. If not, they probably havent spawned yet, hard to believe though, they breed like rabbits, literally. but before they are born, make sure you have lots of plants to let the guppy fry hide. The female might eat them. If you want some more info check out this link:

Answer 2

Well, I think, when it comes to guppies, the bigger question would be, when AREN'T my female guppies pregnant? Guppies are piscean rabbits. Female guppies can be inseminated once and retain semen for about 6 months afterwards and continue to produce many clutches of eggs in the complete absence of a male. Don't worry. Before you know it, you will start having more guppy fry than you will know what to do with.

Answer 3

I'm not sure. But you will notice a dark spot in the lower corner of her stomach if she is pregnant. Your guppies stomach's will also be rounded and large.

Once the babies are born, cover your filter with pantyhose and secure with an elastic so that the babies won't get sucked up. You can also buy a sponge filter which will keep the babies from being sucked in.
