AJE Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeg Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 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. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unfortunately very common with females if they are stressed by transporting from breeder to store or customer while pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJE Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 She hasn’t changed but I saw one fry swimming around and one just popped out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 It looks like there is a tear there. You can see eyes. I don’t think she will make it but if she does I would worry ever time. Hopefully you will get some babies before she passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJE Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 I’ve seen at least 2 babies, they are in a tank with multis so I have doubts about their survival 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeg Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I used to catch my fry with a straw/pipet and move them to a breeder box if I wanted them to have better survival chances. But now I just have bunch of hiding spots and they survive on their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJE Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
