How much longer?

[aquariana]

I know this has been asked for other fish, but I'm wondering if by these pictures there are any opinions on how much longer this fish will be pregnant. I know there are variables but she's already had one batch of fry that
got eaten and I'd like to be on the lookout. Thank you!

She has begun squaring off but I’d say she has at least a week to go and quite possibly longer.

Whe the black spot on its lower abdomen is really huge the it's probably ready.

Whe the black spot on its lower abdomen is really huge the it's probably ready.

If you mean the gravid spot, it isn’t related to pregnancy. It does get bigger but only because all the skin in the belly has to stretch to accommodate the fry,

With fish this colour and translucence you can sometimes see the fry’s eyes when the fish is very near term.

One typically reliable clue to birth being imminent is if you are able to observe the enlargement of the vent opening, which occurs very close to birthing, maybe 12-24 hours before.

The edge of the vent opening will become slightly everted, more so at the bottom. It isn’t always easy to see this but it is a sure clue when you can see it.

Thank y'all, that's very helpful. I'll keep an eye on her of course, but now I've got specifics to look for.

Not that close. They get big and squared off usually when they are older. If you want to induce labor faster turn the heater up and use some epsom salt, feed more and give more darkness. Im not sure how its gonna work with those danios swimming around like maniacs, that is pretty stressful
Female guppies will not give birth if there is any stress, and most stress comes from other fish

Thank you, WhiteWolf. Yeah, she needs to come out of there. I have a little 5 gallon tank she can be moved to. I didn't plan on having them all together, and just as I moved the Danios to the bigger tank so they could switch places, I found all their eggs had hatched! So now I'm trying to raise fry for the first time ever! They're basically invisible and precious.
