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.
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 😆
I actually have had to upgrade my tank since.. twice 😂 yes they were pregnant, since the mothers have passed and I have two tanks full of their babies, male and female tank
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
I think cichlids are easier. Usually takes a few tries, but the pair takes care of their fry for about 3-6 weeks, allowing for the fry to grow more. Guppies also don’t go at it as often in the case for artificial growth of the young. Dunno, maybe I’m doing something wrong. Help?
Sean Leung guppies are definitely easier they’ll breed every month if you’re not getting fry it’s most likely because they’re being eaten. The fry need lots of cover and hiding places I personally prefer live plants like hornwort, water sprite, or Guppy grass. It also helps to feed the adults at least 4-5 times a day so they won’t feel the need to hunt the babies down
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 🐟🐠
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
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??
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 ;-;
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?
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.
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.
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!?
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
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 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?
galaxy star ok, prevent breeding by keeping a single sex in your tank. Meaning no boys and girls in that same tank. If you have a boy and girl in there, she's probably already pregnant. They breed a lot. And to test PH, get a water test kit. It will be little test strips you dip into the water. I'm sure you can look up 'PH test strips' and find them.
+galaxy star For starters, a 5 gallon is too small for guppies, they require at least a 10 gallon. Secondly, have you cycled you tank? And last but not least, *don't use pH test strips.* Get a liquid test kit instead, liquid test kits are more accurate. You want to get one that includes ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH.
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
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
The mother will usually become pregnant from a few days to a week after she has given birth, depending on if a new male has fertilised her or if the sperm from a previous male is being used to fertilise her.
I agree with the comment below if you are using a HOB filter. I use sponge filters in my tanks and don't run into problems. I have the items I used linked on my website under filtration: www.homeaquaticshobby.com/
Brittney Lewis you find a type of filter online for baby fish but usually you wouldnt need it I have a 20 gallon tank and 4 guppies 1 male and 3 females I have a separate tank for the babies
I go based on characteristics I like. For example tail size. If I want males with larger tails I'll keep those and cull the smaller tailed ones. The culls I sell to my LFS as assorted guppies since I don't believe in destroying the fish.
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??
Juan Cabrera I would not recommend going without some sort of oxygen for the fish. They are only there temporarily, they live in the tanks he has. I think the only fish that may be ok without some sort of oxygen would be a betta. So please, DO NOT put them in a tank without oxygen, especially when they are expecting. They will not live very long in conditions like that, as they are not hardy fish.
Juan Cabrera the ONLY time you can put a fish in some sort of container that has no oxygen would be when you're moving them. Or showing them, like he is. Again, if you watch til the end of the video he puts them back in the bigger tank. So no, please don't put any fish in any sort of container that won't have a filter or a way of them getting oxygen. There are way too many complications to tell you about when it comes to just a flower vase. From a build up of ammonia to incorrect temp, both of which can kill.
Liselita90 ok. You have some better options, such as a tank divider or a breeding net. As long as you have a larger tank and can keep the fry separated from the adults, you should be good. However I recommend talking to your local pet store about selling the fry to them, because once the fry start to mature, they will try to breed with each other. From now on separate adults if you have no way of taking care of fry like that. Putting the mom In a vase could result in death to both the fry and herself.
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
She may had gotten pregnant before she was brought to the pet shop by accident. It's possible when separating them a male or 2 got to her before they were shipped off.
Yes. A Molly and guppy baby or fry will most likely be as big as a Molly but have the colors of a guppy if its male of course a mixed female may be Molly sized but just like a guppy she may have smaller fins and a darker or easier to see gravid spot. But just so u know if u do have half breeds they can't mate cuz they're born infertile and most die at a very young age. Good luck.
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
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.
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
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
No the gravid spot is there at around 1 month. It's one of the ways we tell males and females apart, the gravid spot gets darker during pregnancy the later in the pregnancy the darker and bigger the gravid spot.
Dont worry ur safe swordtails and guppies can't breed they may be livebarers but they are not in the same family group so no need to panic u wont have any half breeds.
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)
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 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
Sometimes my females get really thin and almost "shrivel up" after dropping a batch of fry. Is this from over breeding? How can I stop this from happening?
Is she is very fat and her scales are sticking out (better seen from the top of the aquarium) then it's dropsy :( If not, then she is either pregnant or constipated. Kinda late, but it's always good to know.
A female guppy should get her spot at 1 month old. A gravid spot doesn't mean she's pregnant it just means shes a she but if the gravid spot is bigger and darker then yes she is pregnant. The only way u wouldn't see a gravid spot is 1 she's not a she or 2 she's a half breed which cant get pregnant.
That means it doesn't have enough space to grow. Give it some more space and sufficient nutrition and it should start to grow. Considering its life span was halted, it should have an extended life span and won't die young.

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.
I just subbed! I literally took home some local guppies and one looks pregnant and i had no idea 🤧 thanks mate
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?
Im a new sub and thanks to you i found out two of my guppies are about to give birth ! Thank you !
do we need to separate the pregnant female guppy in diff tank from the male until producing fry?
This totally helps!! Thank you!!
Very helpful. Thanks.

Kathleen Brown no Kathleen this is so not normal if the males continue to try to impregnate her without her consent you may have to ring the police
They get stressed when isolated in small space and taken away from main tank which can lead to premature fry
very helpful thanks
Great information
love ur vids keep them coming
Thank you!
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.

Should I have her kept separate from the other fish?

When do we shift the pregnant guppy to another tank ....
i would do it asap because the male stresses the female out
My platy keeps following my pregnant guppy. Is she safe? No fin nipping. Looks like he's trying to mate with her...
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
She may had gotten pregnant before she was brought to the pet shop by accident. It's possible when separating them a male or 2 got to her before they were shipped off.
Wait the ringtone in the 1st few seconds it's from scarlet heart riyo isnt it ??💜
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?
Yes. A Molly and guppy baby or fry will most likely be as big as a Molly but have the colors of a guppy if its male of course a mixed female may be Molly sized but just like a guppy she may have smaller fins and a darker or easier to see gravid spot. But just so u know if u do have half breeds they can't mate cuz they're born infertile and most die at a very young age. Good luck.
How can you tell if an Endler is pregnant?
It's the same way as for guppies.
Love ur videos
So how would you retire the females in a community tank??
Move her to a girl only tank
Great vid mate
Thank you!
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

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

She looks exactly like the big female like the one in the video

One question all the time my groupies female is pregnant she's died everything girls pregnant is
what do you use for food for your fry?
I use Hikari first bites for the first 2 weeks, then crushed flakes
nice one
Will a guppy’s gravid spot disappear right after giving birth?
No the gravid spot is there at around 1 month. It's one of the ways we tell males and females apart, the gravid spot gets darker during pregnancy the later in the pregnancy the darker and bigger the gravid spot.
My male guppies try to mate with my female sword fish!! Expecting my 1st batch of guppy fry any day!!
Dont worry ur safe swordtails and guppies can't breed they may be livebarers but they are not in the same family group so no need to panic u wont have any half breeds.
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)
Rachel Shamariah he did. He says he has to put them back in their tank.
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 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
Rebekah Moore how many litters would you have a 7 year old dog have?
Mate I'm a newbie and I want to ask when is is best to separate when she's pregnant
Mark john Phillips when her belly starts to "square up"
Aquarium Boy123 would she be ok in a tank on her own
Mark john Phillips ya she should be when she's pregnant.
Agreed with aquarium boy123. Sometimes I'll remove the male if he stresses them out.
How can you tell if she's about to have babies
So close to 2k ur at 1,999 at the time of posting this comment
Sometimes my females get really thin and almost "shrivel up" after dropping a batch of fry. Is this from over breeding? How can I stop this from happening?
It could be, I usually retire them after some times. It could also be wasting disease or stress. There's a lot of factors.
can i just put her in cub until she give birth (any day now ) without filter and oxygen ?
Yes she and her babies should be fine.
My female is extremely "fat" but she doesn't have a dark gravid spot, it's more of a light red almost maroon color. Is she pregnant?
Is she is very fat and her scales are sticking out (better seen from the top of the aquarium) then it's dropsy :( If not, then she is either pregnant or constipated. Kinda late, but it's always good to know.
My female guppy's tummy is big but i dont see the dark spot is it pregnantt?
jan vincent dimapilis r u sure its a female
I think they all have a spot
All females
A female guppy should get her spot at 1 month old. A gravid spot doesn't mean she's pregnant it just means shes a she but if the gravid spot is bigger and darker then yes she is pregnant. The only way u wouldn't see a gravid spot is 1 she's not a she or 2 she's a half breed which cant get pregnant.
I'm DIZZY now!
I have almost 160 guppies
wow, you bred too much 😂
My guppy is 7 months old but it is still as tiny as it was when it was born.
That means it doesn't have enough space to grow. Give it some more space and sufficient nutrition and it should start to grow. Considering its life span was halted, it should have an extended life span and won't die young.
Can you show your aquariums in a video? :)
Yes, of course
