Pregnant again :D

Ethan had been pestering me for pets and I never agree as I dislike having those ‘things’ running around in the house. I hate cleaning up after them. I only agree to let him have fish or tortoise but he dislike tortoise. We tried taking care of tigerbarb but they died barely a week after :(

Two months ago, my neighbour gave me 8 guppies. Out of those eight, only ONE is an adult female guppy and she happens to be pregnant. I don’t know if we can call a fish pregnant, but what the heck… Two weeks after caring for those guppies, I was surprise to see baby guppies one fine morning. Some died as the bigger guppies bit them :( I quickly transferred those babies into a separate bowl. I managed to rescue 8 baby guppies. 8 + 8 and now I have 16 guppies altogether!


The cute little baby guppies :D

I am sure it was only barely a month ago she ‘gave birth’ as I posted the above pic in my FB on Nov 9 announcing that I’m now a proud Grandmother! :P

Now, three weeks after the adult female guppy became a mommy, she is heavily pregnant again!

I was looking at my guppies when I spotted her with her bulging abdomen again. I can even see eggs with fries in it! Three weeks only!! Fuiyo!!

This morning, as usual, the first thing I do when I get downstairs in the mornings is to look at my fish and feed them. I saw that the Momma Fish is no longer bloated! She has ‘given birth’ BUT so many fries have been eaten by the others :(

I rushed to take the little ones out and only managed to save 4 this time around. I counted and saw at least 6 dead baby guppies… sobs! :`(

    Guppies are surely “subur” hor keke. Next time got to take note to transfer the guppies immediately to another jar when you notice it pregnant loh.

    I thought you pulak yang pregnant again. Congrats to your little guppy! :)

  • //

    Yeap, not easy to save those baby guppies. I used to rear them, but they tend to fight among themselves. So got to seperate them and in the end, all died.

  • //

    cheh.. you pregnant la shiok… the fish preggy, aper you dapat? macam la you going to built a fish pond for sale.. isk isk isk..

  • //

    Merryn’s pregnant? haha. Yuppies reproduce quite fast and they are easy to take care no need to use those water pump gadget. Poor babies eaten alive by their brothers and sisters.

  • //

  • //

    I don’t like those “things” only =.=”

  • //

    Aiya, I thought u pregnant…….lol!

  • //

    no matter what, congrats :D

  • //

    Ceh kena tipu haha. I really thought it was YOU! We reared some guppies not long ago too. However, I just kept them in a fish bowl without any oxygen supply so 1 by 1, they all died :(

  • //

    Cheh..I tot got good news from you. When the Mummy fish is pregnant, you should separate her with the rest.

  • //

    Haiyar…not you kah?

  • //

    Hahaha…..your mommy guppy sure is one productive fish! ^_^

  • //

    You managed to fool everyone with that title. ;) We all want to hear that you are pregnant actually..hehe.

  • //

    hey, I was just wondering that day what happened to your fishes! XD

  • //

    yes guppies got pregnant easily and gives birth easily too…hahaha…

    I think the bigger male guppies has to be separated for some time or add more female guppies…hehehe

    My daughter is interested to have guppies as her pets too…after seeing this…ayoyoooo :P
