Do guppies really have fry every full moon

Question

somebody told me they did and its my first time breeding guppies i have all the stuff i need and i know how to do it but i am not sure when its gonna happen plz help =]

Answer 1

Guppy breeding has nothing to do with the lunar cycle.  The male will impregnate the female on any day he can, and roughly a month later, the female will give birth.  When you see the gravid spot developed and the stomach fairly distended, you'll know it's only a week or two off.

Answer 2

yes they will

WTF LOL NONONO THEY CANT DUMBO

Answer 3

When you notice the female having contractions 45 seconds apart, sweat beading down her gills, start doing breathing exercises with her. Check if there are stars in the sky with the full moon, if not, let her be, shes probably just having gas and it may be a false alarm.

ok seriously now.. Delivery symptoms

"The most noticeable thing the females do which I spot immediately, is they refuse to eat. This is MY indication the females will be delivering soon. If you watch them daily at feeding times, you should be able to notice which fish isn't eating. Then you know the babies will soon be delivered. Although some females may take in food, which appears they are eating, but keep watching to be certain they don't spit the food out of their mouths.

Other symptoms are brilliant, vibrant, colors in the female, or pacing up and down the sides of the tank. Hiding near a heater or in plants. Perhaps even sitting on the bottom. A female may even have her head pointed down and tail pointed up in attempts to deliver. The belly of the female will become "squared", meaning as the birthing canal drops into place it will have a protrusion from the gravid spot giving the appearance her belly has squared off."

then put her in a breeding tank, assuming that was the 'stuff' u got..

Answer 4

Guppies will give birth approx every month, but it has nothing to do with the moon. It just happens their gestation is ~28 days.
