They were put in with the male exactly 3 weeks ago. The Java moss is ready for the fry and i have a net breeding trap, but don't want to use it unless i have to. Any idea on how much longer I have? They still eat, but hang out by the heater a lot and are pretty calm, no pacing up and down the tank yet. Thanks!

i would say days but i hvant bred guppies in AGES, ive bred some mollies recently though
 
Do you think the little batch of java moss in my 75g will be enough for the fry? That or I could use the breeding trap, but when would you say would be best to put them in there? I don't want any premature fry :/ Thanks!
 
In a 75 they should be fine, you should have some floatingplants if you want them to live as they swim for the light
 
once your guppies get a "black dot" behind their stomachs...in between they're stomachs and tail..that's when they're going to pop...watch them to see if they're hanging around the bottom of the tank..
 
Well, they're hanging out towards the top and not being very active at all. I put some food in a little bit ago and they hardly ate, but they kept what they ate down and didn't spit it back up.
