Prego is the fourth pet overall. She is orange in color and has light red fins. She has a blue scarf with white polka dots. She gives birth to a guppy once in a while.
Behavior[]
Prego gives birth to a new baby guppy approximately every 26 seconds, much like a medium/large breeder, but does not require feeding. She is a good utility to have for tanks with fish that eat baby guppies, as the player can save a bit of money on purchasing them as food. However, one should not rely on her to feed an entire tank, as the rate at which she births new guppies is quite low and can only sustain one Carnivore or Guppycruncher or so. On the other hand, if the player fails to purchase at least one of these fish soon after the level begins, they can end up with a heavily crowded tank very quickly.
Prego pairs very well with pets that have the potential of killing fish, such as Amp for diamond generation (along with Angie and Presto as a second Angie), Gash to reduce the price from having guppies eaten as well as control the tank's guppy population, and Shrapnel in the event of bomb mishaps. Zorf can also prove indispensable once there are too many fish to keep track of for feeding.
Assuming the player has mostly guppies and carnivores in the beginning, Prego does well in the Virtual Tank with Zorf and Stinky for the purpose of feeding fish while collecting money in screensaver mode.

PREGO THE MOMMA FISH |
Everyone knows PREGO as the loving mother to a thousand guppies. But the question on everybody's mind is: Where did she get that exquisite scarf? PREGO answers, "Oh, this thing? Son 183,241 gave it to me... no wait... it was Son 183,240. I always get those two mixed up." |
Trivia[]
- Prego will delay the birth of guppies during an alien attack.
- Prego has two Codes dedicated to her.
- If "prego" is typed in, her normal noise will be replaced with a squeak, sounding somewhat like a giggle.
- If "supermegaultra" is typed in, her normal noise will be replaced with an incredibly noisy fart.
- Prego seems to be more or less realistic for a pet, as real-world female guppies are known to be livebearer fish.
