Is my female guppy pregnant?... ?

Chances are, if your female has been with a male from about the age of 3 months on, then she is pregnant. The most obvious physical traits of pregnancy is that she will begin to grow larger in her abdomen area and her gravid spot will become larger and darker.

What do guppies eat and how much is too much?

I feed my guppies a varied diet of earthworm flakes, blood worms, micro worms, guppy flakes, frozen brine shrimp and baby brine shrimp and only what they can eat in 2 minutes. If I miss a day, they won't starve. Most fish die from over feeding rather than underfeeding.
