Re: Gestation Periods (none / 0) (#4)

I know they say that one of the tricks for delivery is to increase the temperature, but yours is already pretty high. I suggest gradually lowering it a few degrees 76-78.F.
Also, I have noticed that mine will deliver sometimes upon a water change. 25% or 30%. I think someone else said that their gupps like to 'play in the new water' as it 's being filled., and mine are the same way. I add mine really slow. (I can make adding 5 gallons of water last forever. My fish like to play in the trickles and I like to watch them when they do.) Just be sure not to accidentally chase them around the tank during the water changes or the delivery may be because of stress.
