i caught a few guppys among other things in my local creek for my all local 10 gal breeding tank and i noticed two of the guppies stomachs are way bigger than the other ones but i cant tell if their fat or pregnant :screwy:

This is two pictures of 1 guppy. the either more pregnant or fatter one :D
 
yes they actually both look preggers but the one you cirlcled looks like its due very soon
 
oh yeah, that thing looks like it will be popping anytime...
 
really?my guppy had that black spot for about the third week now, but i can see egg like shapes in her. she looks exactly like the bigger female above in that pic. so yeah, they are def pregnant.
 
SICK! if the black dot means their preggers then all of them except 2 are :cheers:
Now is she gunna lay live birth or eggs?

and should i feed the crawfish that are in the tank with the guppys to my puffer so the craw doesnt eat the young?

also should i take the babies out of the tank when their born to prevent them from being sucked up in the filter or should i just keep the filter off for a while once their born

thank you all for replying so quickly:hearts:
 
i think you should take the young out, your puffer will definitely want to eat them! she is a livebearer, so it will not be eggs. don't keep the filter off, have you got a breeder thingy?
 
should i keep the mom with the babies once there born in a seperate unfiltered tank?
