Labor pains

[Kaosu]

ok so iv posted my guppy breeder tank a few times here have had it up for a bout a year and my females are huge and produce gobs of babies for me!

iv noticed something strange though, my females are all pretty staggered when dropping fry, but iv noticed if one of my larger females starts breathing heavy and dropping, other females who are with in a week..or even further from dropping will starting breathing heavy and acting as if they are about to drop..but soon as the one doing the dropping is done....every one goes back to normal till the next round.

just found it strange and wanted to know if any one noticed this before? or maybe my fish are just strange.

So all of your females act like they are in labor when they are actually not when another is? That's interesting, never heard of it but I'll throw it around the lfs I work at and see what I find
