How long does it take for guppy to give birth?

Answer 1

Gestation period is 28 days.

Answer 2

She will get giant and she won't eat for maybe a day or two.

Also she will pace the tank looking for a safe place to have them!

Your guppy will take about 3 to 4 weeks before giving birth.

she would be antisocial staying in the corner of the tank away from other fishand the male will be harassing her.

just before birth she will be very fat and abit like a square

the hole wer the babys come out of will start to open

and she will be breathing very fast

Judging by the responses above, guppies are evidently quite different in their behaviour. Generally, you will find your female guppy not looking or acting any differently. She will swim and feed with the others, and the males will harrass her whether or not she is about to give birth - that is their very nature. Females do not become antisocial, but they do find a quiet spot to quickly drop their babies before resuming normal activities.

The thing to notice is the black spot on her abdomen, which are the baby guppies inside her. The darker it is, the closer she is to giving birth. The dark spot will disappear when she has given birth, but of course, guppies are completely cannibalistic, and unless you have plenty of dense water weed in the tank, the mother (and other guppies) will quite happily eat the babies as soon as they are born. You need to be prepared to shift them quickly into another tank, or into a special small guppy holding tank that stays within the larger tank, and into which you can drop special baby guppy food.

Answer 4

Guppy is a member of the livebearers family. This term (livebearers) means that their fry come out swimming and "ready" to the big World. The gestation period for this fish is usually 28 days but sometimes can take some more time. Like all livebearers when the female is in pregnant it will develop a dark triangular shaped gravid spot near her anal vent. As the pregnancy progresses this dark triangular shaped gravid spot will get larger and darker.

Answer 5

One can tell if a guppy has babies in her if she has a black dot near her gut.

Answer 6

Inbetween 28 days to 2 months most of the tome about 31-38 days.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Every 4 weeks on average.
