How long should you keep your baby guppies in a separate tank?

Signs of pregnancy are a large belly, a boxy-look from the front view, and a darker gravid spot, the spot, under the fish's tail. Near the day of delivery the gravid spot becomes darker and you can sometimes see eyes of the unborn fry as tiny black dots. Female guppies can drop fry every 4 weeks.

∙ 13y agoBaby guppies are a favouite food of many species of fish. If they are small enough for the other fish to eat them, then they will inevitably be eaten. Just use your common sense and powers of observation.
Best answer:
I've been told that at 6 months is best for the guppies safety. But if you want to let them out earlier, make sure there is plenty of places for them to hide. I.E Plants

∙ 14y agoThere is no specific time at which you should separate a gravid female fish (Guppy) from its companions, or move it from its usual tank. It is entirely up to you. I would separate any female I particularly wanted young from as early as possible in order to give her time to get used to her new surroundings. Livebearers can hold onto their young if they are upset or freaking about something. So moving a female guppy close to parturition is sometimes counter productive.

Should you separate a female guppy after she gave birth to 2 guppies and how long should you keep her with them?
Livebearing fish (including guppies, mollies, platies and swordtails) are notorious for eating their young, sometimes as they are being born. If it is possible to separate the mother into another tank immediately after birth of the young, it should be done.
What fish are compatible with guppies?
Fish that have long, wavy fins should not be put with guppies, because guppies will nibble their long fins. Also, many bigger fish will eat guppies. Keep a separate tank with guppies and a few "cleaner" fish, which do not harm guppies.
Should you only keep one pregnant guppy in a birthing tank or can you have more because I have three pregnant guppies so should I put two of them in the community tank and one in the birthing tank?
I had a problem like this, a couple of fish pregnant at the same time. I would either keep them all the female guppies in the birthing tank or keep them in the community tank and when one of the female guppies give birth put the baby in the birthing tank. I did the second option and it was quite good, just don't overcrowd the birthing tank. :)

At three weeks the baby mice are not fully weaned from their mother. You should keep the baby mice with their mother until four weeks. Then separate the boys and girls. The girls may be housed with their mom.
Can you have 2 male guppies in the same tank as 3 female guppies should i buy 3 more females guppies?
Yes that is enough. You usually want to keep a two to three female to one male ratio. The male will constantly try to breed with the females. If there was only one the female you get stressed out and die. So make sure to keep two to three females
