How many fry or how many times can a guppy give birth.

[Sleepybear88]

I have a female guppy who had about 50 fry. Is that normal amount?

It is a big-ish drop, but not a shocking number. Mine generally give less, but they are mutts who have less than optimal conditions.

The largest brood of guppy fry from a single birth event was 244. This was at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

A guppy can give fry at least three times after she has been first impregnated. She can hold her spawn and release them when she seem fit.

You can pick up a guppy that will have babies everywhere!

Fifty is on the lower end of the normal scale for a big female guppy. A mature adult female guppy can have 200 at a time, but 100 is more the norm. They can spawn every 28 days (or so.) They typically start spawning ((small spawns) at around three months of age and live for about three years. Everything pretty much eats baby guppies, including mama guppy, so you almost never get a full-sized spawn unless you take extreme measures and isolate mama guppy and protect the babies from her. And truth be told, the world would be knee deep in guppies if they weren't eaten. If you have an average female who gives you 100 babies each month and those babies all start popping out a hundred babies each month when they're three months old, the numbers start to get pretty ridiculous, pretty quickly. Unless you know what to do with around two million guppies at the end of the first year, it's a good thing the other fish eat baby guppies.
