? The guppy's stool is very thick, not necessarily about to give birth. It may also be caused by eating too much. It is accurate for the breeder to judge whether they are about to give birth by observing the shape of their stool. Because not all guppies poop coarsely before they give birth, breeders also need to judge by their other symptoms.
before the production of guppies? 1. Abdominal enlargement: The more obvious symptom before the production of guppies is that the abdomen becomes larger. A few days before the production, the abdomen will become square. Guppies are ovoviviparous, and their abdomens are larger than those of other fish before they give birth, so keepers can observe them carefully.
2. Decreased activity: Parturient guppies often hide in corners, and if other fish approach, they will keep driving them away. Other guppies will hide next to water plants or filters.
3. Appearance changes: When the guppy is about to give birth, the anus will protrude, and the breeder can judge by comparing the non-pregnant guppy. When a guppy becomes pregnant, there will be fetal spots, and the closer it is to giving birth, the darker the color of the fetal spots will be.
4. Stool coarsening: As mentioned above, guppy will have stool coarsening before parturition. However, breeders can not judge according to a phenomenon, they need to combine these characteristics to judge together, in order to be more accurate.
