Hello all,
I have a guppy who is, in my best estimation, about to pop. Her gravid spot is black and she has gotten huge! I don't know when she was fertilized but she's been getting noticeably bigger and her spot darker and darker over the last couple of days.
Today I bought a breeding tank to go inside my big tank (I do not have a breeding aquarium set up). I don't really know when the right time is to put her in the box. She Is sort of sluggish, but not extremely slow and I don't want to put her in there too early.
Also, are the fry not going to slip through the slits in the bottom of the breeder box? I was under the impression that I put her in there, then the fry hatch, then I take her out and put her back in the aquarium and the fry stay in the box but don't slip through the slits? I
Have I got all of this right? I am going to try to take a picture of her so that everyone can help assess my situation.
I'd appreciate any advice!
Thanks!
