In our class we have been doing a science project on guppies. We were put in four different groups. After one day we brought some objects like rocks, corals, shells, and all sorts of sea objects in the aquarium. All four of the fish aquariums looked amazing.
Each aquarium had a male and a female guppy. They were all about the same size. The female was almost transparent, but the male has an orange tale. When the girl is pregnant you can see a little black dot inside of her that keeps getting bigger. After about 20-40 days the mom would give birth to the baby guppies. Unlike any other fish, guppies hatch inside their mother’s stomach, and give live birth.
One of the guppies in one of the groups got a baby girl. As soon as someone noticed the baby everybody gathered around to see it. It was probably about half a centimeter long, or less. The baby also needs a few hiding places, because it’s parents would try to eat it.
We’ll continue to observe the guppies and tell you if there are any more babies.
