1. What kind of guppy is going to give birth

1. Abdominal change: guppy is oviparous, and small fish are born only after they mature in the mother's body. When a guppy becomes pregnant, its abdomen will become round. But when their belly becomes square, it means that they are about to give birth.

3, anal protrusion: The guppy's anus becomes more prominent, which means that they are going to give birth. There are also some guppies whose swimming speed will be affected, while others will hide quietly at the bottom of the tank for labor.

2. How long does it take for guppies to give birth

It takes 3-10 hours for guppies to give birth. As mentioned above, they are oviparous fish, so they take longer to produce. Under normal circumstances, they only need 3-4 months to produce. But if it is the first time to produce guppy, it will take longer, about 5 hours. Although they take a long time to produce, the longest time will not exceed 10 hours. If the guppy has not been produced for more than 10 hours, it may be dystocia, and the breeder needs artificial stimulation or midwifery to help them produce small fish quickly.
