Max Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hi, I had a pregnant nice healthy blue female guppy,, who gave birth to about 25\30 fry. I was very happy and did begin to feed the fish small amount twice a day. She was eating food and no signs of stress, Yesterday morning she was swimming on the top very fast and by midday she was dead... All my water parameters are fine I do water changes every week. Currently i have 3 male and 6 female guppy and 30 new fry in a 60 l tank,, which has 2 internal filters, Can someone please advise if they have encountered the same issue and if so how did they rectified it ,,, Thanks Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big azza Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi max I have had this happen to me unsure to why it happens Its just a guppy thing I think I'm only new to keeping guppys so I won't be much help I have read that if you put heaps of plants in your tank it helps with this problem Azza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUPPYBREEDER Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 sometimes a female can get fry bound meaning a fry gets stuck in birth canal and causes the mother to pass away this happens time to time or it also could be stress related was it her first brood?
