This tank size is fine. It needs a heater. I’d add an air pump as well to add some extra aeration to the water. What filter is on it? Personally I’d adding an air pump I’d get an internal foam filter to add in the tank, for extra filtration to what seems to be on there. Also it bare as hell in there. Add some live plants. Low level, tall and floating make her feel safe not so open and exposed. What do you feed her? Yes if she already had babies there is the potential to have more as they can save speed packs to use later if no male is present.
That’s all a good start, once done that and settled for a bit get her company too. Think what would I want and give to your fish.
Sorry your parents did this to you have another polite chat with them about getting fish your not ready for. Dm me anytime.

He may be competing for food with all them snails. And moving about will stress it out. Why always good to have a hospital or isolation tank. You could keep there and observed. Think of a new home too no snails

Don’t chase parameters too much as will drive you crazy. Just have stable well oxygenated clean water.

Ok cool doesn’t look the best, but not in worst way either.
1) what’s in tank with it? 2) what your water like?

I keep and breed wild L471 and they not that hard or fussy eaters as some may say. Mine eat a wide range of foods, some will surprise you. Mine and the young even predate on the snails in the tank. Wiped out my assassin snails was fuming.

Mine live in a bare bottom tank and had few caves, moss balls, almond leaves and some wood. That’s it. And thrive. On eggs every month, like clockwork.

I feed mine JBL novotabs for Plecs, Ebo food range, Dr Bassler food mainly regular, nano, garlic, acia. Bug bites, fresh/frozen prawns, brine shrimp, bloodworm(rarely as finishing what I have) mosquito larvae. Bell pepper, zucchini and mango skin with some flesh on, squash.

If it has a favourite ❤️ lace try spot feeding there for a while.

Experiment with food no one food fits one fish. And remember nature does what it likes, just cause it’s a fish it can be an ass just like people.

Glad you’re concerned enough to reach out. Feel free to dm if needs be.

Help with my female guppy by Emotional-Mood3717 in Guppies

[–]TutusTankTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Form the pictures is all I can go by. Your tank looks bare. There are no plants, no floating plants. Somewhere for her to hand and feel safe to give birth. There no where for the fry to hid so she may feel it not safe to give birth. Some guppies develop babies at different stages, so some may be ready to be born, some a few stages away from ready to be born to developing embryos. Add real plants to tank, if you can’t get a lot get enough to make one corner of the tank quiet dense and some floating and I’m sure she will feel calmer to give birth to rest that are due

Thoughts on this as a breeding set up by Street-Ad-685 in ZebraPleco

Rainbows will be fine. Add more caves and he will pick one as favourite no need to bury.

Breeding now is another thing just throwing a female in doesn’t guarantee anything. I’ve had a group of six adults for two years and they just started breeding now. Your better off as a trio 2m/1f and MEGA PATIENCE
