guppy keeps getting pregnant

[Phoenixphire55]

I have a very large female guppy (endler?) that keeps getting pregnant and having fry. There have been no other guppies in a tank with her for more than a year, but she does live with a male sailfin molly. Could he get her pregnant? lol Idk if guppies can store sperm like crayfish, but I'm just curious.

Guppies do store sperm. She will keep having broods.

Guppies aren't Endlers but they can interbreed. I'm not sure if guppies can store sperm but many livebearers like platies can store sperm for as many as 8 separate pregnancies.

You have a mighty storer in your tank! What do you do with all the fry?

Her babies are always eaten by the mollies, probably very soon after they are born. The mollies have had babies too and all the fry get eaten, except two females that have successfully grown too large to be eaten. They're a really cool mix of an orange sailfin and a sphenops/dalmation molly.
