This article is about the fish that births guppies. For the Pet breeder, see Prego.Breeders are rounded guppies with physically female traits. In Adventure Mode, they appear in Tank 4. They are colored similarly to regular guppies and have a larger, round abdomen. There are three stages of growth from baby to medium to adult. Unlike most fish, they do not drop money, they instead give birth to baby guppies.

Strategy

These fish always overpopulate the player's tank because they continue to produce baby guppies regardless of the player's choice. It's recommended to have a balanced amount of breeders to carnivores in order to gain a profit in the form of Diamonds while keeping the guppy population under control. Amp can also be used to obtain a large number of diamonds for a large profit that can easily be used to buy more Fish.

It is not recommended to waste a pet slot in Tank 4 on Prego because Breeders do the same thing, and can be bought.

Virtual Tank

In the Virtual Tank, when a Breeder has become an adult, the first guppy it gives birth to will be named after the breeder. (Example: if the breeder is named "Momma", then the baby guppy's name will be "Momma JR."). This special guppy CANNOT be eaten by carnivores and guppycrunchers, however, this only happens once, and the other guppies birthed CAN be eaten.

The JR. fish drops gold shells as a baby, blue conch shells when medium, spiral shells as an adult, and bags o' shells as king guppies. It shares the price (used to calculate the resale value) of the breeder. It will have the same likes as the breeder it came from and it's home town will be "Virtual Tank". Also, instead of the purchase date, it will have a birth date.

Breeders in the virtual tank eat regular fish food as well as exotic food if they are an exotic fish.
