It takes about one month for the guppy to give birth after pregnancy. Because they belong to oviparous fish, they are fertilized and developed in vivo. Therefore, it takes about one month from mating to production. However, how long they are produced is also affected by temperature. If the water temperature of guppies can be kept at about 26 ℃ during pregnancy, it only takes them more than 20 days to give birth. If they live in low water temperature, it will take about 30 days to produce.
Guppies produce larvae, not eggs. Therefore, it takes a long time for them to give birth, and it is easy to have dystocia. Breeders should pay attention to observe their production to prevent dystocia.
2. How to take care of guppies after giving birth1. Female fish: guppies are weak after giving birth, and may run out of physical strength. Breeders need to put them in a separate container and feed them some highly nutritious and digestible food, which can speed up their recovery.
2, small fish: The newly born small fish of guppy can't swim, and the breeder doesn't need to feed in a hurry at this time. You can wait for 2-3 days first, and then feed some good shrimp eggs, cooked egg yolks and other foods after the small fish learn to swim. Small fish do not eat much, so it is best for breeders to feed them in small quantities for many times.
