Guppy help PLZZZZZZZZZZZ

Question

my guppy is hanging out by the heater and rarely comes to the bottom of the tank. The guppy is a girl and we also have 2 males. The female guppy tummy is kinda squared and big.

Answer 1

shes for sure pregnant

Answer 2

this is what i do.   i put the males in the net breeder while having the mom in the actual tank.

then i will wait till she has all her babys (before she has her babys make sure they have places to hide)  then just let her have her babys and then scoop them up when you see them.  normaly they are at the tops of the tank neer the corners or they are at the bottom hiding in the gravel.   so kinda tap your fingers on the gravel around the entire tank until you are sertain you have all the babys up

put the baby guppies in a cup half full of water and set it in the tank and let it float.   this will help maintain the water temprature.   then once you have all the guppies in there take the males out of the breeder net and just dump the babys in the breeder net.

also some basic baby guppy care 101:

1.) feed them baby brine shrimp.   some say that you need to go do a guppy hatery and grow your own and bla bla bla.  that's just a pain in the butt.  so just go to a pet store and buy frozen baby brine shrimp.   it still has the same minerals and vitamins.   just frozen.

2.) feed them the baby brine shrimp frequently but in short amounts.  i would feed them like maybe 5 times a day.

3.) make sure the breeder net stays clean.   dont let it get dirty or collect too much food in it.  it will grow all fuzzy and trust me it's not healthy for any of the fish in the tank.

4.) dont let them out of the breeder net until they are big enough not to fit in the mouthes of the other guppies.

5.)  go out and buy some ICK treatment for guppies.   giving birth is very stressful on the mom and she might contract ick.   and if she gets ick then all the other fish will get it.   and they have a very real chance of all dieing.

Answer 3

Your guppy is pregnant, add floating plants to provide hiding places for the fry when they come, from your short description it seems like she is about to have her babies.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Your guppy is going to have babies. Put a BUNCH of live plants in the tank for them. The 2 males and 1 female guppy will try to eat them. Or you could move the babies to a separate tank. You should still keep live plants in it. Make sure to feed the babies often. Plus, a guppy will be pregnant around 28 days.

Answer 5

shes ready to give birth and is hiding out near the warm heater if u have 1 move her to a breeding net if u want to save the fry or they will be eaten or get a floating hatchery top layer for mum and then when she gives birth the babies will fall through to the lower part where they are safe good luck

Answer 6

if she has the gravid spot the dark spot under the anal fin she is pregnant

Answer 7

She is going to give birth. However over the long run, if you only have 1 female for every 2 males, that is going to be a problem because the female will get stressed out by the males chasing her. You should consider getting about 3 more females to make it 2:1 for every male to reduce stress if you can.
