    It should be soon. If you give birth to small fish, you have to remember to take them out and raise them separately, otherwise they will eat them.

    Guppies are a kind of viviparous fish, the roe grows directly into the shape of a small fish in the belly of the mother fish, curled up, waiting to be produced, but the time of production is controlled by the mother, even if the mother fish is in labor, holding back, there is no way.

    The first birth of a guppy is what we often call the first birth, and the first birth has a lot to pay attention to:

    The first child is prone to dystocia.

    The number of firstborn small fish is generally around 20.

    The first tire has a long cycle time and production time.

    Firstborn females are more susceptible to stress.

    If the mother fish is in good health, the production is generally not a big problem, if the mother fish is pregnant prematurely, coupled with environmental stress, not only easy to give birth, the probability of death will also increase.

    Suggestion: the female fish is 5 months old and then reproduced, the mother fish enters the isolation box one week in advance to adapt, the isolation box can be added to the goldfish algae to the mother fish as protection and shielding, aquarists should not pay too much attention to the mother fish, do not change the water during labor or frequent water change, do not do the act of inducing labor and giving birth, do not use drugs in labor, prepare to keep the sick and injured female fish to keep small, and do not use caesarean section for live fish without professional technology.

    In the Internet era, aquarists have a lot of information about guppy breeding, including a lot of guiding opinions about the mother fish when they are in labor.

    The guppy has a large belly in the first fetus, and if it does not give birth, the small fish is not yet mature, and it is not a difficult birth.

    The skin of guppies is very elastic, and small fish will not be squeezed or suffocated to death because of their large numbers.

    Change the water environment of the fish: water temperature, current impact, pH, salinity, nitrifying bacteria concentration, etc., will make the mother fish need to re-adapt to the water quality, which will put a heavier burden on the body of the pregnant female fish, turning natural natural birth into a change of environment production.

    One of the most frequent factors of stress in the mother fish is the attention and intervention of the aquarist.

    The aquarist always looks at the female fish, and the female fish has no way to hide in the isolation box, and the psychological pressure is very high, and it feels unsafe, so it does not dare to give birth to small fish.

    The reason why the guppy has a big belly but does not produce small fish is because there is a problem with the male fish.

    Guppies are ovoviviparous, and after giving birth to eggs in the belly, they are fertilized by the male, and then developed into small fish before they are born from the belly of the female.

    If the male cannot fertilize the female, the eggs in the belly of the female can only remain in the state of eggs all the time, and cannot develop into small fish, which is the reason why the female has a large belly but does not lay small fish.

    You can put a few more males in the tank, so that the females can have small fish, and the large number of males also helps to compete and make the born calves healthier and more advantageous.

    The fish that the guppy has just laid is an egg under the microscope and is not moving.

    Precautions: 1. The small fish of guppies will not die if they do not eat food within three days after birth, and after 1 day of birth, the nematodes are broken and thrown into the water, and the small fish will naturally eat;

    2. It is best to have filtration in the tank for raising guppy larvae to ensure the cleanliness and oxygen content of the water quality;

    3. The best food is fish insects or fish feed, and you can also feed twisted egg yolks, and the principle of fish larvae feeding is to eat less and eat more;

    4. A bright environment can enhance the appetite of the fish, and it is best to have natural light, and no natural light is supplemented with lights;

    5. The temperature of the fish water should not be too low, it is best to have more than 20 degrees.
