Guppy pregnacies

when i first got my 2 female guppies it was 44 days and 47 days before they gave birth and yesterday exactly 21 days since the last birth both females gave birth again at the same time.

is that a record? has anyone breed guppies in less than 21 days?

Re: Guppy pregnacies

21 - 28 days, they can also store the sperm and become gavid when they are ready, and can have up to 4 batches of fry from 1 breeding

What the hell is wrong with you?

Lil Miss gave you credible info to supplement the superb advice given by Hawksport, there is absolutely no reason to bash her for repeating it. There's also no need to lock the thread, moderators won't do that unless there is something wrong with it.

Yes hawksport was pretty much spot on. however, there is actually no set number to how many batches one mating can produce. ive known females give birth up to 10 or 12 times before they were spent. of course, a mating may in some cases only produce 1 batch of young. it all depends on many things, even down to the aquarist not noticing the brood. 4-8 batches are the most common however, so you could say you were both right, or both wrong to cerain degrees. just different numbers in an acceptable range. so check facts before you shoot someone down saying they are wrong and being rude about it

edit: Chilly beat me to it by a minute

you havent flamed anyone? do you know the actual definiton of internet flaming? its basically hostile and insulting interaction between internet users. this is EXACTLY what you did! i mean, can you honestly read what you said and not think it hostile and aggressive? if not, then i dont honestly know what to think. you quite obvously flamed someone who did not deserve it, who answered your question in a valid way, and providing you with information they may have thought you would be interested in, even if it wasnt in line with the actual question asked in the original post. the evidence is right here. and not only that, but you stated her answer was incorrect, yet going by that logic, the information you used to correct her was equally as incorrect!

you sir (or madam) need to seriously brush up on your social skills, and actually learn how to act responsibly in a public environment such as this. learn some manners ffs, or GTFO! me, Chilly, Hawksport, and the rest of the regular aquarium section users do not want or need anyone with your attitude around!
