Premonitions of guppies giving birth to small fish:

1. Irregular swimming. This situation also occurs when the female fish is about to give birth, and the increase in size affects the swimming of the guppy.

2. The fetus becomes larger and darker. The female fish itself has fetal spots. When she is pregnant, the fetal spots are very small and so fine that you can’t really see them unless you look carefully. However, as the birth date of the female fish approaches, the fetal spots become large and black and look very obvious.

3. Loss of appetite. It is normal not to eat feed during the period of delivery.

4. Like to be hidden. The female fish will find a hidden place to hide, mainly for safe production.

5. The swimming tail is close to the bottom of the tank. Because of the growth of fish larvae in the belly, the belly of the female fish becomes heavier.

6. Square belly. The larvae in the body are arranged regularly, so they are square.

7. Protruding anus. Its anus will be very prominent, which is a sign that it has reached the delivery period.
