Generally speaking, guppies give birth to babies quickly, will not take too long. When it can be produced smoothly, it can be finished in about 2 to 3 hours. If the female gives birth for the first time, it will be slower to give birth. Especially fish that start producing at night may last until the next day. If you find that fish production is slow, don't worry too much. If you want the fish to give birth quickly, you can stimulate the mother fish to give birth by changing the water quality or temperature. Moreover, with the increase of reproduction times, the production speed of fish will gradually accelerate. However, if there is no dystocia, when the mother fish can produce normally, it is better not to stimulate it to give birth ahead of time.
1. Changes in water quality: The stimulation of sudden changes in water quality can accelerate the production of female fish. When changing the water quality, all the old water can be poured out and the mother fish can be raised in a new water environment. A female fish in a new environment can't adapt immediately, and the discomfort of the new water will cause her to give birth early.
2. Change the water temperature: fluctuations in water temperature will also give the fish stimulation, which encourages it to give birth. A heating rod can be use to change that temperature. Raise the temperature to 30 ℃, then lower the temperature to 20 ℃, and let the temperature change up and down in the range of 20-30 ℃. In this case, the fish will be stimulated to produce quickly.
