JC, try not to quote unncessarily since it wastes space and time scrolling
Nice catch Mr.Choy. You planned for this or was it a impromptu shot?
just happened to pop this fish in the photo tank at the right time. although I did notice she was going to drop any day because the stomach is bulging on the flanks (see from top).
but at first I thought she was going to sh!t almost decided not to snap

Very nice pic!
Is the dot marking on her body a natural trait of this fish?
Cheers,
Joe
yes this fish is slightly spotted.

Very interesting that the fish is not even hiding to give birth!
Great shot!
head first! Similiar resemblence ........ to human that is. Any particular time they give birth (in general; not just Gambusia affinis)?
Nice shot by the way.
I observed head-first, tail-first and also side-ways i.e. coming out bent like a U-shape

That's sad!
Hope they breed again and you have a chance to fish them out before they are eaten.

BTW the close-up shot of the gonopodium is not, contrary to popular belief, to satisfy Benny's pangs of perversed curiosity, but one of the ways to differentiate between males of Gambusia affinis and G. holbrooki.

Benny is not perversely curious about the gonopodium.
And by the way, I've seen even bigger and longer ones. The ribbon type guppies. It seems almost impossible to use it as a breeding tool anymore. And I wonder in a community tank, what's to prevent other fishes from nipping it off.
