Re: Gestation Periods (none / 0) (#12)

Hi, I just wanted to add my own question here after looking everywhere and can't really find someone else in the same position as me - so sorry if it's wrong ;)

I have two pregnant guppies, one has been pregnant for about 5 months and the other for about three months....
And they STILL won't drop!
I have them in a seperate tank to the rest of my fish, with plenty of plants to hide in... I check my water pH, nitrates etc etc, the temperature is fine, the food is fine, EVERYTHING is fine they just will not have their babies!!! The 5-month one has had fry before - once she dropped 12 and the other time it was just the one.... The other one hasn't given birth before.
The one who's been pregnant the longest looks massive - i think she must be ready to burst.... is there anything I can do to speed things up for them?
