How Long does it take for a guppy to give birth?

Question

I have 5 female guppies and they are all pregnant includin two young sisters they are almost 3 months old. thay all became pregnant about 1 week ago.

Answer 1

If they all became gravid around a week ago, you'll have to wait another 1-3 weeks.

Answer 2

Guppy pregnancies last 28 days normally. If they all got pregnant a week ago then they have about 3 weeks to go. I would get a breeder tank from the pet store. When they are squared off (meaning the area by the gravid spot is squarish looking) then put them in there. Don't put all of them in there though. At the most 2 in at a time. The other three will be in the tank and you need to have a lot of plants and hiding places for the fry. The adults will eat the fry if they see them. Once the female is done giving birth in the breeder tank, remove her immediately because she can get stressed. Try and catch all of the fry with a net from the big tank and put them in the breeder tank so they are safe. Then feed the fry 3-4 times a day for 2-3 weeks. When they are older than 3 weeks you can feed them 2 times a day. After 1 guppy birth the females can be pregnant WITHOUT a male up to 6 times. So a batch of fry EVERY month for 6 months!!!!

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 3

The average gestation period is 28 days, so if they became pregnet 7 days a go, you will have to wait another 21 days about. Also, once they give birth, even withut there being males in the tank, they will become pregnet again. This is cuz guppies can hold sperm for up to 8 births!!

Answer 4

than you have to wait 2-4 more weeks since they are pregnant for 28-40 days

Answer 5

get some hide out for that bit.h so it will feel free to give birth when its time plus u should feed it well to decrease the mortality rate n if yur fish die b4 giving birth then u should quickly stripp it from its belly,the young will live bout 50% chance.
