Ok so iv put my guppy in a birthing box as she looks rather fat and squired off, is it time to start think of names lol ?

Just a thoght, before I switched from tropicals to cichlids I had lt of pregnant fish (swordtails, guppies, mollies, you name it). I successfully bred a twin-bar Platy, a cremecicle Lyretail Molly, a velvet wag swordtail twice, and about 7 guppies. I had one guppy that was very pregnant but couldn't push out those babies, and sadly died, still pregnant. So please feed her food like collards or something like that, boiled, to get her the energy she needs to birth. I had to preform a surgery on one of my guppies and miraculously saved about 3 babies.

Ok this is puzzling me now! Iv had a look this morning and her belly has gone down and she has no gravid spot now but no baby's? She's not eaten them as she can't get at them ??

She could get at the fry befire they escape her chamber in the breeding box. Some fry swim back into the same chamber. There's also the possibility that shes aborted the pregnancy and her body re-absorbed the fry. This can happen due to stress in this case probably due to being stuck in a breeding box. Have u got an updatex picture?
