Hi all.
Please Could You help me figure out if my Female Guppy Is Ready To Give Birth.
Shes Absoloutly Massive and has been for a while now.
the thing is 1 of the smaller guppies gave birth only an hour ago and she wasnt half as big.

Here is a good web-site that you should save. Read the funny story first. The information on pregnate guppies is very helpful on the left hand side of the screen. I posted this before to help on this forum before. Also search thoughout this forum on older threads that might be able to help you. Hope this helps you as it did for me.

Any Chance Someone Could Explain Why 1 Of The Females Who Looked Less Pregnant Gave Birth First?
She Was Only Half The Size To The 1 In The Photo and she gave birth earlier today :S

some females dont carry as many fry so they will develop slightly faster and some females just take longer to have there fry :):):)
