I would suggest moving your pregnant guppy to a separate breeding tank. I would not recommend breeding boxes or any small compartments, because those are too small for your guppy and will stress it out. Instead, move it to a separate five to eight gallon tank where it won't be harassed by any other fish and will be able to have its babies peacefully. In this separate tank, do not place any gravel on the bottom. Do not put in any plastic decorations, rocks, castles, ships, etc. The only thing that should be in this tank is, of course, water, and floating plants at the top. Floating plants should ideally cover seventy-five percent of the surface, as the first instinct of the newborn guppy fry will be to race to the top of the tank. The mother will eat the guppy babies if there is no place for them to hide, so make sure to provide plenty of floating plants.

What should you do when your guppy is giving birth. My guppy has a big blob on her side and I am pretty sure she is giving birth what should i do. there is 1 other guppy in her tank?
There are several things you can do. The first....is nothing. Especially if the birthing has already begun. The guppies are likely to try eating the fry (babies) but a few may survive. But try describing the blob a bit better. Because they don't give birth on their side.

Signs of guppy birth?
If you have a female guppy, and then you see that she has lost size and you have some small fish in with it that you didn't put in there, I can assure you that you would probably be correct if you assume that your Guppy has given birth.

What signs to look for when your guppy has finished giving birth. Ive got 3 pregnant guppies in a tank and not sure which one has had the 12 babies but they all still have the gravid spot?
You will have to go by the size of their tummies. Once a guppy starts breeding she will always have a gravid spot.

After the female Guppy gives birth does the gravid spot go away?
Try explaining why it's there.. it means the fish is pregnant. The darker it gets the closer she is to giving birth.. The gravid spot on a female guppy is a dark area directly in front of the anal fin.
