2, the fetal spots become darker: when the color of the fetal spots of guppies becomes darker and darker, it means that they are about to give birth. When the color of tire spots turns black or dark brown, it means that production is about to start.
3, anal protrusion: the peacock fish anus becomes more prominent, which means that they are going to give birth. There are also some guppies whose swimming speed will be affected, and some will quietly hide at the bottom of the tank to give birth.
Second, how long does it take for guppy to give birth? It takes 3- 10 hours for guppy to give birth. As mentioned above, they are oviparous fish, so the production time will be longer. Under normal circumstances, they only need 3-4 months to be produced. But if it is the first time to produce guppies, it will take longer, about 5 hours. Although they take a long time to produce, the longest time will not exceed 10 hour. If the guppy hasn't been produced for more than 10 hour, it may be dystocia, and the breeder needs artificial stimulation or midwifery to help them produce the small fish quickly.
