Guppy Pregnant For Quite Some Time

Hello all! I've had a pregnant guppy for about 2 months now. As I've been told she should've had her babies after a month, would that be correct?
If so what would be the hold up? She is being harassed by the other guppies and I don't want to move her and stress her out.
Any help?

 

Don't move her, that will stress her. Guppies (and most other livebearers BTW) can hold the babies for up to 3 months. IME if there are other fish in the aquarium are pregnant the fish will try and hold on to the babies as long as possible, because she doesn't want her babies to have to compete with other fish. She will sometimes not give birth if there are any other fish in the water as well. Don't worry though she will give birth in less than a month because she can't hold them in forever.

 

Okay thanks!

 

Okay thanks!

You're very welcome.

 

Another possibility is that she's been dropping fry regularly all along, and they've been eaten. I have had some tanks that were just more cannibalistic than others.

 

She's finally released, 19+ born in the first hour
