Hey everyone i have a few questions. Maybe u can give me some answers 2 plz ? Ok well my female guppy got pregnant but she never got really big like most do before they give birth , so i never put her in a breeders net bc i thought she wasnt going to give birth untill she gets bigger , and a couple days ago i noticed she was really skinny and i looked for babys and never seen any so i thought she had false pregnancy bc my females start to look pregnant but never get really big than they get skinny and i never see babys well tonight i was cleaning my sand with a small hose and the water that got sucked out went in a jug , and i didnt suck any babys up , and when i moved the live plants around i seen 1 baby ? anyway my question is can a guppy only have 1 baby ? I would think with how her belly was she would have atleat 5 in her belly bc her belly never got really big like most , so yea can she only have 1 ? And the baby i found i caught and put in a breeder net bc i didnt want him to get eat ! Please help me ? Thanks
 
It's most likely that your guppy birthed a lot of babies but they probably got eaten. It's always happened to me when I've had guppies. Usually they will give birth to a lot of babies at a time. Hopefully this helps you out a bit. :)
 
I know they have a bunch of babys but my guppy never got big like most female guppys do before they give birth she barley had a belly , thats why i didnt put her in a breeders net , so is i possible she could have only had a couple bc she never got huge to have alot of babys ?
