Wow, thanks for the links! I'm going through them now My male's body has the little line pattern like this one: http://www.efish2u.com/__FishInfo/ImagesGu...01/Cobra12M.jpg but the tail pattern looks closer to this: http://www.efish2u.com/__FishInfo/ImagesGuppy001/Grass09.jpg . The tail is smaller and more rounded and the whole fish is a bright yellow color.

http://www.efish2u.com/__FishInfo/ImagesGu...01/Cobra12F.jpg - The slight arch in that fish is how my female looks. Her body is all grey though and she has the rounded tail like the male with a powder-blue sunburst pattern on it. The pattern is similar to: http://www.efish2u.com/__FishInfo/ImagesGu...1/Tuxedo01F.jpg but is a much lighter blue and the pattern and coloring is much smaller on the tail.

LoL I'll try and get pics one day if I can talk my friend into bringing her camera over one day

And yay for the guppy!! Still none for me! LoL Should be getting very close though! Friday will be 21 days since I've had her, and she was pregnant before

it will be close to a month, they always drop per month. my female is like yours too, just do daily water changes. i asked how to speed up the labor but thought, it might only stress her. if you want to speed it up:

raise water temp by few degrees.
daily water changes.
a good diet/feeding.

Thanks LoL.. I figured it would be before June 10th for sure, since that would have been 30 days since I bought her. I don't know how long she was pregnant before that though so I was guessing sometime closer to this weekend or next wednesday LoL

The water is usually about 78 degrees, so it's pretty warm I only have access to TetraFin Tropical Flakes and freeze-dried blood worms (that my betta eats. He doesn't like anything but those bloodworms LoL).

best of luck dude. best of luck... more food = more guppies.

Thanks! No babies still LoL.... This morning, at least there weren't. I've been on the computer all day *cries and hunts down microsoft* windows crashed on me agian, really bad this time, and I'm on a spare drive Poor fishies.. Have to cut back on water changes until this thing is running again (I need it for work and my brother for school). I'll do my change on Saturday and test the water still though Wish me luck! -_-

best of luck. theres fry hiding in my java moss. cant really find them... so tiny. more water changes = faster she will drop. i cant wait, im getting new fancy's soon. yay.

"more water changes = faster she will drop."

I've been doing water changes every day for the last week. Today was the first day I missed because of the computer, which I've had no luck with Have to wait until tomorrow to backup the last of the files I can get and format the whole drive *sniff* Going to lose over half of all my graphics, programs I've written and a game I was making *cries*

Hope the fishy has her babies soon. At least it would cheer me up! LoL

i got my guppy fry. many many many. i wish you the best of luck, my other females might drop soon too. hehe.

LoL Thanks Ugh, going to work on the computer tonight in a minute (heh, had to check emails and ended up drifting over to these boards.. so addictive to browse LoL). My female looked like she was trying to push a little, but I don't know. I remember seeing pics of females ready to give birth and they all looked much fatter than mine LoL. Bet it'll be a few more days LoL. I can't wait

Got a small water change in today and I'll do another, hopefully larger one tomorrow. I need to rinse the filter cartridge off a little too. Didn't do that last week. Have to remember before I toss the old fish water out LoL

Congrads on all your fry!!

thanks. theyre so new to their environment.

this is a picture from guppies.com:

LoL! Poor little fry That's almost exactly how my female looks, but she has the soft blue sunburst pattern on her tail.

*cries* Computer just keeps getting worse and worse At least one thing cheered me up... Got an email from my grandma who was really into fish. She found some more old fish stuff (bunch of fake plants/flowers, hood with lights and some coral rock). She offered to give it to me Bummer the coral rock is saltwater only though LoL At least I'll have some little plants to put in the tank Don't think the hood would do me any good but I might take it in case I find a cheap tank without one LoL

your female is more special. your female is a full fledged fancy. crush the coral and you can buffer the pH level. thats cool though, im the only one in my father's family side that are crazy about fish and turtles. my mother's side are fish fanatics yet they live so far away!

Buffer the ph? Would that raise or lower it? My tap water ended up being about 7.0 when I checked it... The tank water, when I've been testing the water each week is averaging 7.8 - 8.0 and I read that's okay for guppies

LoL My dad's mom was crazy about fish (she's into birds now and has a housefull of exotic birds LoL). Wish she'd saved her tanks rather than selling them She had a 150gal, 55 gal, and a few others but I don't remember how big they where.

buffer=make more stable

My family and relatives don't like pets, especially fish lol.

Oh, okay, thanks for the idea

Aww My mom hates animals. I wanted a bearded dragon but she doesn't want small mammals or reptiles in the house -_- LoL So I went with fish that won't get loose in the house (which is sort of what she worries about *sigh*) LoL.

I might disappear for a few days *kicks computer* Hopefully not though I want to be around to tell you when my fry are born

between me and my parents, only i am crazy about fish and turtles. and thats it! i dont like dogs or cats. yet my father likes dogs.... weird family eh?

My sister and I used to have two little bearded dragons when I was younger! We only kept them for about a year and then my parents gave them away because they hated buying crickies Their names were Sil Sil and Ringtail. Sil Sil was mine and she was potty trained when I held her! I miss Sil Sil ._.

oh that sucks. :[

*hugs kissy*

*dances around* Have my dumb main drive going again and hopefully the problem won't start up again *crosses fingers* LoL Going to feed my fishies and head off to bed. I've been working at this computer for the last *thinks* 13 hours o.0 Didn't realize it had been so long! LoL

live food = more nutritious.

I don't have access to live food, unless they figure out a way to eat a large ghost shrimp. LoL I had planned to check and price a kit/eggs for BBS but I can't get uptown for awhile again still -_- Aside for checking for that, there's no other live food I can get around here small enough for a guppy LoL

My female is almost ready it looks like! I can spot the signs a bit easier LoL

nah. cut earth worms
they will destroy it.

Hmm, worms? Fresh out of the dirt? Didn't know you could do that o.0 I thought they'd have diseases or something that could get the fish sick o.0

LoL I know we have lots around here, it's just finding them. Haven't seen one at all this year so far.

yes, fresh out of the dirt. what diseases would worms .........get..............

-________-;; haha.. diseases. theyre completely safe. i just get the very thing small ones for them and theyll eat it and destroy it. my shrimps pick on them as well.

LoL okay, thanks for the idea Looked around a little earlier but didn't find any -_-

LoL diseases.. I ment germs and such If I find any, I should probably rinse it off really good, right?

*sigh* still working on the computer, and no babies yet... I was starting to wonder if she got pregnant the day I brought her home. They both hid most of the day when I added them to the tank. I'll give it a few more days before I begin to wonder

rinse it with distilled water.

wow, your guppies are being patient with the fry!

LoL No kidding... Today (Friday) is exactly 30 days since I bought both of my guppies and from the time I picked them out at the store until now, they have never been split up LoL I can see she is getting larger though, so a few more days maybe

hopefully better than a few days, few hours?

If she is still getting bigger maybe she already had her first batch and they were all eaten and this is her second one

thats from the forum on guppies.com I found it while I was looking up something about their tails. I hope that helps ya alittle

Have you put her in the breeder section thingie yet?

"If she is still getting bigger maybe she already had her first batch and they were all eaten and this is her second one"

I definatly would have known I'm constantly going back and forth from my tank checking (lol) and there is some cover for the babies in there

I seen that "signs of labor" post over there also LoL. She's actually been showing a few signs for the last week or so now (aggression, staying in one spot/hiding [behind my filter intake tube LoL], acting like she's starving constantly... ). I've been seeing some of those signs for awhile now, but no babies.

She may not have been pregnant before I got her (but I coulda sworn she had been) and might have gotten pregnant the day I got them, or within the next day or two, so there could be a few days still. I read that it could sometimes be up to 34 days or so, so maybe by tuesday or wednesday

"Have you put her in the breeder section thingie yet?"

I did yesterday for a little bit. She was arching her back pretty good and I thought she was going to have the babies but it turned out she was trying to get some poo out I put placed her back in the tank almost 3 hours later, just to make sure that's all it was LoL She's been in the tank ever since though I didn't want to keep her there very long since it seems so small. It's decent sized, but nothing compared to the tank itself.
