Hi Im new to guppies and I was wondering if anybody has anybody have any pictures of a guppies early pregnancy because I'm not so sure if my guppy is pregnant and there is a male in the tank and I was also wondering if there is anything wrong with my female guppy because she just stays around the top and stays still

welcome to fishlore newguppies!!
if there is a male in the tank, and even if there wasnt and she came from a tank that had males, shes probably going to be or is pregnant...early stages are hard to tell but she will square off with her belly, and her gravid spot will get darker the closer she gets to delivery...
hanging at the top is usually a sign of a water issue..do you know your readings for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates?

We got the guppies from a store that seperates the males and females and I'm not sure if the water is the problem because the other fish seem to be doing fine but I'll try to check.

what test kit are you using and how long has the tank been running? whats in the tank and how big is the tank? sorry for all the questions, as your info is limited and answering some of them will allow us to try to help more.....if they were seperated when you got them, and now have them together, I would say after a week or so (if the tank is cycled and water parimeters are good, as well as a proper varied diet) you can count about 28-30 days from that point and she should spawn...guppies do best when in a ratio of 1 male to 3-4 females...that way the male isnt constantly harrassing a single female

Do you mean like a pH tester? I noticed that the male guppy goes near the female and tries to do his thing but it looks like she is rejecting him because this happens over and over again.

I have another question to ask is that my female guppy is attacking one of the dwarf gupppies and male guppy
