Aside from isolating the female from the other fish you do next to nothing cos these fellas breed like rabbits. Oh of course you'd need to make sure you have a male and a female, guppies that is. But if you are the totally "by-the-book" kind of person you can get some tips from tons of sites. Here, try wikiHow for starters!
I noticed one of the two females was 'heavy' and it started giving birth at 7.45 pm on Friday. This time we are fully prepared with the isolation tank in place.
The birthing process took about 24 hours, phew just watching is tiring for me! I can see that the mother was very exhausted. I counted 24 survivors this morning and about ten that did not make it (either stillborn or died shortly after birth).
Note: The sole survivor from July 9th is about 1.3 cm long now.
