I have two female guppies and a male guppy.
A couple days after I got the guppies the female had about 15-20 fry. I assume she was fertilised at or before the store before I got her.
It's only been about two weeks since she had her batch and she is already looking big again. I know that they will have batches every 24 or so days for a good number times just on one fertilisation but she is looking very big again already.
I have a floating breeder so that we can actually save the babies this time (we weren't prepared for the first batch so they were a nice snack, except for one survivor =P).
My question is essentially, when should I put her in the breeder? I worry that she will get stressed being in there too long but I also worry that she will have her batch either overnight or while I am out.
She's looking "square" from the front and has a very large gravid spot.
Is it possible she is premature or will she stay large for a couple more weeks?
