Under normal circumstances, it takes 3-6 hours for guppies to give birth. If it is guppy that has been produced many times, the time for giving birth will be shorter, and the production can be completed in about 3 hours. If it is the first-time production of guppy, it may take longer to give birth, and it will take about 6 hours to finish production. If dystocia occurs, it may take longer, and some even take 1 day.
How long does it take for guppies to give birth? How to deal with postpartum 1. How long does it take for guppies to give birth?

It usually takes 3-6 hours for guppies to give birth, but the specific time should be judged according to the number of times they produce and the specific situation of their production. If it is guppy that has been produced many times, the time required will be shorter, and the production can be completed in about 3 hours. Because they already have breeding experience, and they produce more times, the difficulty of production will be reduced.

If it is the first time to produce guppies, it takes about 6 hours for them to give birth at a time. Guppies are oviparous fish, which are prone to dystocia. If they have dystocia, it may take longer to give birth, and some may take one day.

2. How to deal with guppy after delivery

1. Parent fish: Breeders need to isolate guppy parent fish immediately after production, so as to prevent them from eating small fish and make them recover their physical strength better. After isolation, breeders need to feed more high-nutrition foods to their parents to speed up their recovery.

2. Small fish: Small guppy fish are just born, and breeders need to keep their living environment stable. In the first three days of their birth, they do not need to be fed with food. Try not to change water in the first 7 days of their birth. Wait for them to completely adapt to the new environment before trying to feed food.
