Well, as some of you know, I recently added a pregnant female guppy to my
community tank, which I jokingly refer to as the "Guppy Farm" because she
gave birth the first time to only 2, then 45, then again, another 40 or
so...
After this last litter, I seperated all the males and females, so as to
allow her some 'time off'..
Just when she thinks she's done.... she's pregnant again...
I can't guarantee for a fact that I didn't let a male stay in there, but I'm
pretty positive I've pulled the males.... So I attribute it to sperm
storage... She may not have a viable birthing, but she's hopefully 'done'
for now.... The fry are growing daily, her first two batches are showing
some males cobra pattern in their fancy tails, colors mixing and all sorts
of morphs from the parents, and some NOT the parents...
Just goes to show you, when you think you're done, you're not...
ps, anyone want some guppies??? hahaha just kidding..
