Guppy Pregnancy

I have an albino guppy I got from a petstore. She was pretty pregnant when I got her so I have no idea how many days she's been with fry. I would love to know how long till she drops (even just in a week, two weeks, ect. Would help because guppy births can be unpredictable.) I have a mama guppy already in the breeder at the moment having fry. I want to know how long till she has them so I can prepare to either remove the fry from the breeder, put the fry in the breeder while the albino guppy has her fry, or release them in the tank. I'm new at raising guppy fry but have had many guppies in the past. I would love some help with what I should do when they arrive (and with the older fry) as well as when I should expect fry. Thanks so much can't wait for more guppies.
P:s I have 2 male and 3 female (one female still being very young) so it seems that the female are being chased a lot. Should I add another female? I have a smaller tank so I don't want to add new fry, and more fish if I don't need to. I expect if more than 5 fry live I will be donating them to a pet store I know will take good care of them.

 

Forgot to add pictures of her!










Thanks for your time.

 

around 1 weeks

you should give the one giving birth at least 3 days from when she gives birth to the first fry. Also breeding boxes aren't that good for guppies since this causes stress(which has killed peoples guppys) and the female can abort some of the fry and may take longer than usual.

What size tank is this? It seems like you don't want fry? If so then why did you get females ? I suggest when you go to the store to donate the fry, bring the females along and get males instead

 

What size tank is this?

I'd take the other female out of the breeder box and not use it anymore. Breeder boxes stress females out and can cause them to hold in or abort their fry.

Are you sure that your pet store will take the fry? Females can produce hundreds of fry over the year, and that can very quickly overwhelm you and your tank. I agree with Al, I'd rehome your females and just get males so you're not overrun.

 

I'd love to keep the fry but I have a 10 gallon tank. I have 4 guppys at the moment so there is still room for them all to swim. The fry from my other mama were just born. I'll put them in another tank when she has them.
