Many male guppies have 'black spots' but if by "black spot" you mean "gravid spot" then no, a male guppy can not be 'gravid' because gravid is the equivalent of "pregnant" and male guppies can not get pregnant.
Ah, a plural noun for guppy would be "guppies." Just like how one happy little tree becomes many happy little trees in a forest, one guppy becomes many guppies in a tank. It's a joy to see nature multiply and thrive in its own special way.
My very small Fantail Guppy had 14 fry and all have survived so far. Approximately 3 weeks.
A feeder guppy is a guppy that is sold or going to be fed to a fish. Guppies are commonly used for this because so many are born at one time, and are usually born once a month.
If there is a female guppy and a male guppy in a tank you can almost guarantee the female will be gravid ( pregnant ).
Yes, bottom feeders may eat baby guppies if given the opportunity. Many bottom-dwelling fish are opportunistic feeders and may consume smaller fish, including fry. It’s essential to provide plenty of hiding spots for baby guppies to avoid predation. Additionally, choosing compatible tank mates can help ensure the safety of the guppy fry.
The guppy is named after the Rev. J.L. Guppy of Trinidad, an early collector of the species from the late 1800's. Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are placed in the family as mollies and mosquitofish. The wild, original guppy is native to Central America, as well as Trinidad and northern South America. Today, many guppies are found in Asia, especially Singapore, where many fancy strains are bred in large fish farms, and shipped to pet stores all over the world. The Fancy Guppy Fancy guppies are the result of specialized breeding techniques and they only slightly resemble the small, wild guppy, often seen in pet stores labeled "feeder fish". Guppies are freshwater fish. Their tanks should contain no salt. http://www.TheExoticFish.com
Guppies are pregnant from anywhere between 21-28 days but if conditions aren't correct, it may take longer.
In guppy populations, it's common for adult guppies to eat their own offspring, especially if they are stressed or hungry. The number of baby guppies consumed can vary widely, depending on factors such as the size of the adult population, availability of food, and environmental conditions. Generally, it is estimated that a significant portion of the fry may be eaten, especially in the absence of cover or hiding places. Providing plenty of vegetation and hiding spots can help reduce predation among guppies.
The Guppy is a single species. There are many variations (varieties) that have been developed by breeders but they are all the same species and can interbreed.
The average guppy is pregnant for 4 weeks! But they can b pregnant for up to 8 weeks at the most, one way to tell is to go to a local vet and check what stage ur guppy is currently in, or u can look up the stages online, it would help if u kept track of how many weeks pregnant she was!
