Default Pregnant guppies!

I am 99% sure that one of my females was ready to drop last night, BUT this morning all three of the grey 'mommas' look slim again!

I think she must gave dropped her fry in the night, and the other fish have eaten them. I have loads of moss and real plants in there, so there are plenty if places they could be hiding.

I have the little tank set up in there (a hospital tank type thing) but I must gave missed it.

Right, I have another female possibly ready to drop also, but she isn't pregnant from my males!!! She has only been in there two weeks, little minx.
I'm not happy to seperate her too soon, but also I am scared I might miss this one drop too!

I am not planning on breeding them, but the females we bought are definately already pregnant. If you saw one it would be easy to assume they are male.

That is the two orange tail females. The large tummy suggests to me that one is pregnant.

I used to breed danios. Use a small weave net curtain draped over the top of a tank, sunk 1/3 way. Eggs/Fry fall to bottom, remove mummy feed fry food etc until a reasonable size. Other fish will scoff the lot before you even notice unless you use a separation method.
