Pregnant Guppies: How To Tell? 

Hey guys, check out one of my latest projects! amzn.to/3jmXi5o

This video was perfect, I’ve been trying to tell if my females are pregnant and this video has shown me that 2 of my females are pregnant! So excited 😆

The way you can tell if your guppies are pregnant is as follows: if there are male and female guppies in the same tank or ever have been, the answer is yes.

Omg my guppies just gave bitrh today its soo cute those little babbies

These have to be the easiest fish to breed for sure ... nice video you explained everything perfectly as always 🤗🤗

Also guys and girls, If you keep yellow guppys the gravid spot will not always be black at all and more of a browny yellow, and albino guppys can also have no gravid spots at all, its rare but I have had a few like that. The more they give birth the bigger they get meaning more fry next birth, but I stop at 4-5 as found anymore births then that I start to lose fry, had my main f1 yellow sword give birth to 102 fry last week and only lost 1 so was really happy :) sol all the fry off apart from 20 :) Big well done for hitting 2000 subs, well soon to be :) Would love more DIY projects please :) love seeing people use DIY in our hobby

Thanks for the great video! One of my females is pregnant and been sitting at the bottom of the tank off and on. I was worried but now it makes sense.

I am new to the guppy breeding I actually got my first 10 babies by accident and I think my two females are pregnant again. I have moved the adults to the 30 g and the babies are safe in a 10 g to themselves and some snails. i love them so much and been happy to watch them grow. Thank you for this video i think I am going to have to move them to the 10 until they give birth again. I can't wait to see what pretty colors I get

I just wanted to say thank you for this video you’ve made it very clear to identify between male and female more than most on here thank you very much most helpful Kim 🐟🐠

Thank you, it was informative. Confirmed a lot of my own theories about the female's behavior before they drop fry.

Thank you

He sounds like zack from the try guys

Nice video! Pretty guppies. And, I think the fry brood is the best!

VERY INFORMATIVE....TY

Very helpful. Thanks.

Great information

This totally helps!! Thank you!!

pls make video on how to care pregnant guppy

Just started a guppy tank about 6 weeks ago with 5 guppies . I thought one was about to give birth so I put her in breeder box and later that night she passed I don,t know why may have been swim bladder I don,t know. The very next day I saw some fry in the tank. I was so excited. I have a 20 gallon with some driftwood with a lot of plants.. I don,t know how many each day I count a different number. Now I have another one I think is pregnant but in early stages for sure a little plumper but no behavioral signs . Still eating and swimming around like normal..however your video was just awesome for good comparison , you did some great video ..thank you I have watched a few on guppies but yours was a little more informative.. ty and have a great day keith

you are almost at 2000 subs good job

I have a guppy that was sold to me as a male but I believe looks pregnant. Does that happen a lot where the pet store makes a mistake like that?

do we need to separate the pregnant female guppy in diff tank from the male until producing fry?

Ypu make me laugh when you describe a squared off guppy.. looks like she's swallowed .a cube!! Cute description, your funny. Love your guppies.

They get stressed when isolated in small space and taken away from main tank which can lead to premature fry

I got a new tank and while it was regulating for a month i noticed something in the water. It was a baby! I didn't have hope for her seeing as it want even an established tank. She survived and thrives to this day! It is however her first birth and I'm worried for her. This video helped

YES THEY ARE STRESS !!!!!!!

How long do they stay pregnant?

very helpful thanks

Lol a few days ago, I assumed that none of my girls were pregnant (I have gender assorted tanks) and I put a few into a breeding tank and then 2 days later I have 3 fry already and I could’ve sworn that they weren’t pregnant the gravid spot was light maroon and they had flat bellies (I feed the, everyday) so yay ;-;

good job

Excellent video!!! Thanks for the info.... Like&subscribe!

I just put my pregnant one into her own reader box but she’s swimming around chaotically seeming like she’s not able to relax and one guppy is right in the area where I took her out from and hasn’t left and then another one is swimming underneath the rock where I found the first babies what does that mean?? Should I maybe add a breathing partner for her??

Thanks very informative

When do we shift the pregnant guppy to another tank ....

love ur vids keep them coming

Do a Q and A when you reach 2k subscribers

Love ur videos

what is a good size tank to have

Can u show us what do you feed your adult guppies and guppy fries?

One question all the time my groupies female is pregnant she's died everything girls pregnant is

I prefer dirty water (not too dirty ) as they have stronger immune systems

My guppy is pregnant and I'm nervous lol.I have a five gallon to put the babies in .But what do you feed fry and where n when do you get rid of the fry when they are old enough

my guppy has given birth but sadly the fry died for many unknown causes. I have a cover area and she would hide under it as well as the filter.Her gravid spot has disappeared but I think she's pregnant

How can you tell if an Endler is pregnant?

Great video i have 1 pregnant female who is squared of and she been like this a couple of weeks now so i put her in her breeder box and she seemed to get stressed out so i put her back in the main tank ive no idea when she is going to give birth, i had a pregnant female a few days ago that was i think was going to give birth so i put her in the breeder box i checked on her half hour later and she died have u any idea why she died water is fine and ph was normal

If your guppy stay n one place n wiggle,is it ok

Would there be anyway you can tell me if my fish are pregnant I know I have males and females because when I got them I was told there was both genders and the have had there own fry 3 times but none make it its always two or three babies only this time was only 3 i was able to get and i put them away in a different tank i applicte if you can help me

How do I know in my guppy is struggling giving birth

My guppy is black and blue and i cant tell where is the thing on her stomach.But she is all day down of the aquarium and she did not eat a lot.She usually eats a lot.

I notice that you have your pregnant guppy in a non filtering tank. Is this okay for a few days? I’m very new at having guppies. My female just gave birth on Friday. I thought she was pregnant but this is my first round. I was only able to find 2 live babies left in the tank. I quickly separated them. I noticed the males are now trying to impregnate her again. Is this normal as well? Thank you for any help you can give.

do you keep the males and females separated?

What is the black plastic canvas in the tank for? Thank you

What if you can’t see the gravid spot? My yellow/orange guppy stomach is a solid white, but she’s huge now. I have her in a breeder floating box just in case, but I don’t know if she’s fat or pregnant (I feed them brine shrimp 3x a week) lol simply because I can’t see her gravid spot like I can my other females.

Should I have her kept separate from the other fish?

Hi, I brought my pregnant guppies from the local pet shop. Both females look about the same stage on but one has a verification dark spot ( the fries eyes) and the other has, what looks like a red spot. Would these be red eyed fry.

Great vid mate

My females have that square shape but they have not given birth. That shape can also come from good feeding and good care.....not necessarily ready for birth

So how would you retire the females in a community tank??

Wait the ringtone in the 1st few seconds it's from scarlet heart riyo isnt it ??💜

Sir my all three guppies have the black spot on its gravid spot so I'm not able to compare a pregnant to a normal ones....so what's the perfect indicator for the pregnancy.

All my fish have a black spot behind their stomach, so the ones which have a big black spot growing every day is pregnant, right?

nice one

I bought a female from the petstore and she looks like she’s ready to have babies. She has a dark gravid spot and a abnormally large stomach. Is there any way I can tell when her day comes?

How do I prevent breeding? I'm a first time guppy keeper and I'm keeping them in a 5 gallon so If my female gives birth 10+ I would have to get another tank and I can't afford it, so how do I prevent breeding in a 5/10 gallon? P.S. How do I test pH?

I have one guppy that is looking like she is prego.I got her and another female guppy at petco that had a female only tank.She is looking prego.What do i do

Please confirm those cups ar3 temporary containers for your guppy just to show on video. People might think it’s ok to leave a guppy indefinitely without filtration or surface disruption causing oxygen exchange (air stone or other air delivering mechanism)

Do fry have to have a filter or oxygen, if they do how do you stop fry from getting sucked up in a filter?

What would you advice if you see your females are pregnant, keep them on a separate tank. Or leave them on a current tank. I noticed that my males they’re chasing the gravid spot. Please advice, would like to have fries

My male guppies try to mate with my female sword fish!! Expecting my 1st batch of guppy fry any day!!

Could Females have a gravid spot and not be pregnant? I got my little girl actually recently I noticed she had one and I was going to breed her with my males but if she is pregnant I won't

Hi sir! About the “box-shaped “ abdomen, will it appear just like that the next morning or will it form the shape slowly everyday? Thanks in advance! My guppy female is about 3 weeks pregnant now and I think that she’ll pop in a few days.

How do I know if my sons guppy is pregnant or not? The other female her gravid spot disappeared but no babies.

My platy keeps following my pregnant guppy. Is she safe? No fin nipping. Looks like he's trying to mate with her...

I'm DIZZY now!

I just put males and females in a tank and while the males are all over the place the females are just sitting on the side doing nothing. Wondering if they are not moving because of pregnancy or if there is something wrong.

Mine have the gravid spots but never saw a single fry!! Any ideas!!? I've isolated 4 females with gravid spots to see what will happen, any other ideas!? Could the spots be food and not fry!?

I am a dog breeder and yes it dose matter if you are breeding dogs to not over breed them and when they get to they age of about 7 to retire them but I don't think it matters with fish lol

I see you have them in a sort of like cup. Does that mean that guppies don't need the oxygen machine?? Can I put a guppy in a empty flower vase as its tank??

Hi George lol

What if my female mates with different type of guppies or mollies.. Like will the colors and fin traits be mixed from the two parents?

My guppy is very pregnant I've put her in the breeding box she is on the bottom hope she gives birth soon I think she looks abit stressed hopefully it won't kill her.

I’m confused how do you retire a guppy from breeding? She can hold sperm and continue to have fry. So separating them from the males isn’t going to stop her from giving birth

Can you show your aquariums in a video? :)

How do you select your guppies for breeding? Also, how do you select your culls? Thanks! Ed

Just want to know if my female guppy is pregnant coz her gravis spot is quite big and she is got a belly on her

How can you tell if she's about to have babies

I have almost 160 guppies

what do you use for food for your fry?

You can't see anything in that cup

Will a guppy’s gravid spot disappear right after giving birth?

So I have one female and one male and they are siblings, and I thought they couldn't have fry because they are siblings. Then the female got pregnant. wth (I have other breeds of fishes but these ones were guppies)

So close to 2k ur at 1,999 at the time of posting this comment

can i just put her in cub until she give birth (any day now ) without filter and oxygen ?

My guppy is 7 months old but it is still as tiny as it was when it was born.

interesting would like to see the tank with all those retired guppy females...
