guppy fry

[justaplayr]

One of my guppies are in the process of having her fry at this moment. Yippy! I am so excited! I have been waiting for her to have her fry anyday now for about a week and a half. So far, she has only had one, but I'm keeping a close eye on her. I'm excited, because I just had 2 platties have their fry in the last couple of days, so I can't wait to add these new fry into the nursery with the other ones!

Ok, I'm beginning to wonder!  It's been over an hour since I noticed the fry in the breeder box, and my guppy still hasn't had anymore.  Looking at the fry closer, it looks more like a platty fry.  I'm wondering if it could be possible that it is a platty fry that somehow made it into the breeder box?  I'm still finding platty fry in the larger aquarium, and the reason is, I didn't catch my platty until she had released almost all of her fry. Question is, If it is a platty fry, how did it make it into the breeder box?  The world may never know.  Hmmm, I'll keep everyone updated.

how odd! so has the guppy had any fry yet?!

Nope, she still hasn't had any fry yet. I'm still waiting. It should really be any day now. She was the first guppy that I got and I've had her for a little over a month.

:'(      I came home yesterday morning and found that my prego guppy had died.  I'm not sure what happened to her.  I had her in a breeder box and she seemed fine.  She wasn't stressed.  I know a lot of people don't like breeder boxes, but the one I have is pretty big.  You can fit 2 fish in there comfortably.  It even has a divider for them.  It also has its own filter on it.  But she was the only one in there so there was lots of room.  She had been in there for about 2 weeks.  So I don't know what happened to her.   :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

did she have red around her gills? & the water chemistry's good? sadly, sometimes the pregnancy can just be too much for a livebearer. I'm sorry to hear that she passed on.

Sometimes they just get so stressed out and die as a result. Sorry to hear about that. How are the platy fry doing?
