Hi peeps!
The Female guppies that are going to give birth will be behaving in an erratic behaviour, swimming around very 'jerkily. A small hatchery will be good as this will enable the frys to drop into the base and prevents the female guppies on feeding on them.
The fry will come out like head first and then followed by the tail. If ever you see one that is 'folded' up (i.e the tail curl up and touch the head), mostly it is dead already when birth. However, some managed to survive after the female guppy swim over it and shake it open.
A hatchery is much recommended.. Preferably to place the pregnant female alone as it requires a quiet and stress free environment to give birth.
Fries (the term for baby guppies), are eaten by older guppies, but guppies are eaten by fish like tuna.
Only guppies breed with guppies naturally.
