Guppy floating face down

I once had a group of guppies that did this too, after they finished giving birth they died. Some never finished and the babies had to be removed so they could live. Your guppy looks like it may be too far gone to save. I would recommend turning off the lights to make it less stressful and to remove the young when she passes. : (

my girl has been swimming like this since this morning I got her yesterday, I think it’s an issue with giving birth. You can see the baby’s eyes. Anything I can do for her?2F841EC2-A646-44DC-9078-F3494DF67C32.jpeg.dbf34850ebef82c8d303cdae7f5e14a2.jpeg5B1421FD-DF4E-4095-8234-0829E039669D.jpeg.3bff5b9c876579d0bdce672eaadd45b5.jpeg

I’m sorry for your fish. This is unfortunately very common with females if they are stressed by transporting from breeder to store or customer while pregnant.

I’ve done the efficiency method with guppies but I now like the let them fend for themselves method, I do have plants with lots of root for them to hide in, hopefully one will survive to replace her. She is still kicking though
