Should I Be Worried? Female Guppy.

I got my female guppy about a month ago and she is starting to look like she will be having her fry. But she isn’t moving mutch and is sitting with her tail down and mouth up. I put her in the breeding box about 1week a go thinking she was gonna have babies but she hasn’t yet and I’m not sure if I should take her out or leave her in. I just don’t want to take her out and have the other male guppy stress her out. I’m not sure what to do?

 

It doesn't look like she is ready to give birth yet but this is normal for pregnant guppy's they will stay in one spot and hardly move. But just inspect the fish most of the time you can actually see the eyes of the fry moving to the back before she is about to give birth and her stomach will become a kinda squared shape.

 

Yea what Jimmie said. She is not ready to give birth just yet so I would let her out of the breeding box. If the males keep harassing her and stressing her out just put her back in the breeding box and feed her live food if possible (Bloodworm) helps with nutrition and good for the fry

 

There is only one male so I am worried she is gonna get singled out and stressed. There are A LOT of hiding spaces but I just don’t want her to be stressed out then die.

 

Fish need space to swim around though... Its how they have fun It's like putting us in a tiny room for ages because we are pregnant (I know it's not the same, Just an example) My swordtail is currently pregnant but I'm leaving her in the tank so she can swim around, I have a lot of males in my tank but she just hides and she is doing fine. Dont be worried about it just put her in the breeding box when you think she is ready.

 

Is the breeding box hanging in the same tank as the male guppy? If it is, there is no point in using it. The fry will immediately swim out and be eaten. The point of the breeding box is to have it hanging in an empty tank so that the new fry can escape the mother and not be eaten.
