Hello! Brand new here, so hoping this is the right place...
I have a female guppy... She just gave birth 3 days ago to 10 healthy fry. Ever since she gave birth she's just been sitting at the top... I read a few things that said this was normal so I thought nothing of it until today when I looked at her and she almost looks like she has bubbles in her stomach... to me it honestly looks like Fry eggs but she hasn't dropped anything else and I cant imagine she is already that pregnant...
She's temporarily in a 5 gallon tank that I'm using Prime with (the ammonia levels are reading funny - 0.25). I'm doing small water changes because she's pooping a lot.
This is my first time with pregnant guppies so I'm not really sure what's going on with her... is this normal? I can't find anything like it...
Thank you :)

looks like she is still holding fry ,it only takes one mateing to produce a few batches of babies guppys hold male sperm.

Is it normal for them to be that visible after only 3 days post dropping fry? With the current batch, I honestly couldn't even see them, I just had the dark gravid spots on both sides. She also isnt moving a whole lot either and just stays in one area. When she dropped the current batch there was one egg( I assumed) that came out too... But it was completely clear except for a white spot at the top.
Sorry for silly questions - First experience with a pregnant guppy so I really have no idea what is going on. I knew what to expect for the first batch and then that she could hold onto the males sperm for 6 months afterwards. I guess I just wasn't expecting to Immediately see bubbles in her, or what normal post-fry behavior was...ya know?
