A sign of giving birth to small fish.

Guppies, also known as anchovies, are an ornamental fish that is easy to raise. Guppies have strong reproductive ability, so they are called million-dollar fish. But novices always complain that they don't know when guppies will give birth. Today, let's talk about the signs before guppies give birth. First, find a place to serve as a delivery room. About a week before giving birth, guppies will look for a place that they think is suitable as a delivery room, which may be a corner or next to a stone. And they are all close to the bottom of the tank and have places for small fish to hide. Second, guard a place and declare its sovereignty. When other fish approach this place, it will drive away other fish fiercely and declare its sovereignty over this place. If you observe carefully, you can find this phenomenon.

4. Guppies have black spots and their bodies are also black

The difference between male and female guppies lies in the black spots. Only female guppies have black spots, and virgin female guppies also have black spots. If the black spots become darker and larger in size, it proves that the female fish is pregnant.

Guppy birth experience:

1. The signs that a female fish is about to give birth are that she eats less or doesn't eat at all, stays under the water or in the bottom corner of the fish tank, has a bulge at her anus, and has red gills. When she is about to give birth, other fish will keep chasing her butt.

2. The small fish must be isolated, otherwise they will be eaten. By the way, change the water in the birthing tank to normal water. If you leave the small fish in the original tank, you must pay attention to the temperature when changing the water to prevent needle tail.
