New Guppy Fry

    My husband took me out to lunch and when I came back, I noticed a bunch of baby fry swimming at the bottom of my tank, they are still in the main tank with 3 adult female guppies and 6 neons and they are not getting eaten :eek: , I have breeding grass on the bottom as well as some floating on top. I had 3 male guppies, but for some reason they all died, maybe the females ganged up :lol: , but 2 females are still pregnant, none of them looked like they were about to explode, so these babies are a BIG surprise. I will keep posting if more pop out.

    Wow thats awesome!!! :mrgreen: How long did it take you to get these new babies? How can you tell if the fish is pregnant? Is it really noticeable?

    All I can say is I bought the 3 pairs about 3 days ago and she had the babies this afternoon while we were gone, she was already pregnant when I got her, you can tell a female guppy is pregnant when ehr belly starts getting big and that black doe on her gets bigger and even darker.
    I just wish I knew what caused the males to die, but that is ok, because I'
    m sure I got more out of this bunch, plus the ones that were born a little over a month ago. I have one now that looks lke she is about to explode which means more babies :eek: I was told that a female guppy can carry the males sperm for up to 3 or 4 litters (or what ever they are called), so if that is the case, i should have plenty of babies.

    Oh, I have a question, since these little guys and glas are being born in my tank, I put a piece of pantyhose over the filter pump so that none of the babies would get sucked up, is this ok?
