Hey All,
I didn't know where to put this, so I decided to put it under Diarys b-cuz it would show up imediatly.
This morning when I woke up I went to look at "Negro" my pregnant female guppy.
She had given birth to about 7 that I saw...I'm positive she has eaten others though. She was in the breeder net over the night (thankfully).
But when I took the fry out, and put them in a ahem..Glad wear :) to let them float in a warmer tank (other than being froze just sitting/swimming there..) so as I set them in the tank I noticed that there bellys looked a little "Soft"..If I'm correct, that means that they are pre-mature right? And I shouldn't feed them? Yeah, I will do somemore looking up on that, please tell me if I'm right. Their bellys look shiney, unlike all the others I've seen b-4.
She has been pregnant for quite some time. I brought her home from pets mart a month ago, she was pregnant then, but not too far along..as someone has said b-4 don't bring too pregnant fish home, that might cause them too much stress therefore killing the fry. So..I've now had her for about a month she looked about 2 weeks pregnant when I brought her home. And she bonded with my male swordtale pretty well. I don't think that they are his though. They don't look to have sword-tails would they grow on later? I'm pretty new to swordtales, so any info you could give me would be fantastic! Thanks for being such a great site!
Negro hasn't had any more babies since this morning when I found them. But she still looks to be very pregnant..I hope she has them soon..She doesn't look as if she is in pain though, somewhat of a look of loss (babies are gone somewhere else) and bordom..:) I don't blame her.
Whatever the case info would be great asap. Thanks a bundle.
Audios!
