I'm a complete tropical newbie, is my guppy pregnant? 🤔

[Kelfel]

Hello,

I'm so new to having tropical fish. My guppies are new, had them for around 3-4 days. I'm sure this one (pic attatched) is very pregnant

Thanks in advance for reading and for any replies I get

Well it’s a female guppy so the answer is always yes.

It looks a bit strange though, but could be the angle of the picture.

That's her, yellow and black tail

Guppies store sperm so they’re nearly always pregnant. Looks like she’s got at least a week to go (guess).
Don’t put her in a box. Let her hide in the plants or wherever. Get some more plants.

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, she's close to dropping fry.
As above, don't think of putting her in a birthing box, she would stress and could die.

Thank you for your replies Definitely won't be getting a birthing box. Will get some more plants

Just an update....she gave birth last night

The first fry are always exciting.
I've kept them for years, after she's dropped 8 lots of fry you'll be moaning as the tank won't be big enough.
