Looked over while reading my book this morning, and saw something odd in the tankwater. Upon closer inspection? Guppy fry!
Which explains why my female wasn't her usual friendly self this morning, and all hiding away.
Immediately I took the males out who were harassing her, and dumped them in a jar. They will be moving to the twenty gallon very shortly.
So far I have confirmed five fry, and possible one stillborn behind where "Mom" is hiding right now, and another was eaten before I could scoop up the "Dad"s... OH! As I was writing this another fry popped into the open! Six at least!... anyways, just rather excited. These are my very first livebearer fry.
Anyone have a rough estimate of how long she'll be in labor? She still seems rather "full" so I'm guessing I caught her just as she was going into it.
And do they have their adult tail shape as soon as they're born? 'cause if so it would really help me narrow down the Daddy, as they all have different tails.
