Have I Put My Guppy Too Early In Breeding Box?

  • #1
HI all. This is my first first to Fishlore but must be over a 1k visit.
As the title says, because it's my first time. To me it looks like a week away from giving frys but need expert opinion.
So should I continue her in the box or move it in main tank and put back in box later?
I will let the pics do talking.

Thanks for the support in advance

I would put her there when you think she's closer

hard to tell in less you have been watching her to see if the guys are getting at her
would wait till the belly starts to darken some or if you can sell the fry developing leave her
takes roughly 24-30 some odd days to pop out fry

Thanks all to pitch in.
I got it from the shop while she was pregnant so won't have idea about days.
Maybe a week more...
Will update...

just moved 2 prego females into their own housings
they are at least a week or so apart, 1 is darker than the other but they were with angel fish
so hopefully now the fry and mama have a chance as well

#Update#
So finally the guppy gave birth in Boyu Breeder Box...
First one as soon as I noticed, went up from bottom of breeder to top and was swallowed by mom :-|
Than I added few bushes on top part just to be on safer side.
Final count is 19.
I have moved frys to separate tank.
I am diluting flakes with water in palm and feeding.
Any other suggestions or this feed will do?

sounds like you are on the right track
careful with fry and water changes cause they are more sensitive to changes and such
iv moved my prego guppy to my fry tank so I do not have to transfer them later, just take her out heh

Thanks .
They are in a separate 5 gallon tank and in same water taken from main tank.
Feeding them Daphne (suggested by LFS) and diluted flakes for now.

Hikira first bites always work for me

Also using first bites.. I sprinkle some on top the water and also mix some into the water..
just the smallest amount not to flood the tank with foods
have not tried Daphne

I was told to have Daphne for 5 bucks (5 INR) and pour it completely in frys tank. That takes care of feeding them for 3-4 days.
Though I accompany it with flakes (making a liquid of it) thrice a day.
