How to identify if a guppy aborted her fry?

[meganxloveee]

She is much slimmer than she was last night. Also there is still a gravid spot but it's significantly lighter. I have a tank divider so I would be able to see if she did have any fry.

If she is slimmer, it is likely she dropped or aborted the fry. Guppies will eat their babies without hesitation, and first drops are often small, so it is possible she ate them all. She could have aborted them as well. Sometimes you will find a sticky egg mass, but she may eat that too, so I wouldn't bother looking for one. Since she is skinny again, I would assume the fry are gone. Keep an eye out in your tank though, I have had some little ones hide very effectively in the past.
