Hi, I have a guppy about 2.5 inches long, and it had babies about thirty days ago. I'm not sure what color the gravid spot should be, but right now it's dark crimson and I have it in a breeding trap. It's been in there about five days. Does anyone know any signs of about to give birth?

Yes, when a female guppy
is ready to give birth you will notice
several changes. First, she will gain a real
square box like shape when viewed from behind.
Then, she will try to hide a lot.
On the day she is ready to give birth you will
see she will start breathing really heavily and seem
very nervous, and she will refuse to eat, or pretend to eat but will just spit the flake out.
Breeding traps are very difficult, I have always found
that the mother guppy either miscarries or dies.
Add some plants if you can, that would help.
