My feeder guppy had 2 babies 10 days ago when will she have babies next?

Question

We bought her from a pet shop as a feeder along with a male and she had 2 babies 10 days ago how long is it until she will have more?

Answer 1

Gestation for guppies is about 28 days.  They usually have a lot more than 2 fry at a time!  50 to 100 is not uncommon.

Answer 2

Guppies have times when they breed rapidly, and times where they pretty much don't breed at all. I started with 4 and now I have 2 tank full of them.

A$H!

Answer 3

approx 28 days between batches.

A few fry isn't unusual for the first lot, especially if the fish hasn't been well cared for previously (a feeder fish). Expect more next time, 20-50 is normal for an adult, but a well fed Big Momma can drop 100.

As for feeding excess fish to big fish.. thats what they naturally eat. If no guppies ever got eaten ALL the fresh water in the world would be packed solid with them in about 5 years. Are you going to house them all at your place???
