Yeah, thats normal for guppies, they get pregnant, store sperm for up to 6 months, self inpregnate, and give birth to a few fry over several days. Thats livebearing for ya. They dont ditch em all in one day live oviviparous fish do.

Time to post this eh? Go and help that sailfin molly!



Its like having your very own online dad isnt it?
