my female guppie is heavly pregnant but she just wont have the fry any ideas

 

[pizza guy]

It can be tank temp, stress level, first pregnancy or it can be just a fat guppy.

 

[fishlover2011]

tank temp is 27c plus first pregnacy and by her anal fin its really really black

 

[pizza guy]

Probably it is because it is her first pregnancy.

yh prob what are the signs before she does give birth

 

[pizza guy]

1.the hold just under its anus open became more bigger or obvious.The place where eventually the fry will come out.

2.The fish will tend to hide in the area that have less fish such as cornered of the tank.

3.Always go near the filter ,aquatic plant,wood.stone or rock to get shelter for its fry.

4.Some may also not even eat before giving and during birth process.

Beware the livebearer such as swordtail may even eat or consume their young.

Try to separate the mother and fry using a breeding tank/trap.
Tips:

Feed the female with mix diet of food like food pellet,worm and supplement with green food and vitamins to get more yield or fry.

Hope my advise will help you on this matter and good luck on your breeding project.

i have put her in the breeding tank allready and theres cucumber in the tank

 

[pizza guy]

Thats good.

 

[fishlover2011]

wish she would hurry lol

 

[pizza guy]

But you should know they can delay their birth for months.

 

[fishlover2011]

really

 

[pizza guy]

yeah they can and they can abort them.

 

[fishlover2011]

oh god i hope not

 

[pizza guy]

That would be bad for you.

 

[fishlover2011]

very bad i got two other female guppies and the last day or two they just seen to stay in one place and not more very often any ideas

 

[pizza guy]

That could mean they are pregnant too because they will move less because they are carrying kids or they are stressed.

 

[fishlover2011]

thats what i thought do you think they are near to giving birth

 

[pizza guy]

If they are not moving alot they are stressed. If they are moving slowly they are probably near giving birth but i'm not sure.

 

[EndlersEatGuppies]

it could be dropsy disease

 

[pizza guy]

This is a guppy with dropsy.

Do they look the same?
