I found 3 fry :), I don't know if they're platy or guppy yet but yay 

They live in a 165 litre tank. I should probably start to record when my guppies give birth so I know how hold they fry are

Thanks and wow that young!  Any idea how old they might be based on their size? (about an inch)

Hi, I have several guppy fry, the oldest batch of 10 have matured but they are still pretty small. Some are an inch but not all. I was thinking that even though they're gravid they look waaaaay too small to have fry yet, right?

Thanks for your help everyone, it really helped :) 

I've got one male and 3 females. Unfortunately I don't know how old she is, sounds like old age might be the cause although the male does chase her around as much as the other females

I'm probably just being impatient but I'm a little suspicious because she's been with a male for three months now, her other female tank mates have been dropping every month since then and I'm expecting another batch in a couple of weeks. Also she has a bent spine (I thought she might be an...

Okay, I thought about separating them when they were born but no one seems to have bothered them and I do want them to survive, I've heard bad things about breeding traps... I tried feeding them crushed fish flakes and egg yolk but they weren't interested, is this normal? 

I know poor thing :( I'm really happy about the fry though, none have been eaten by my other 3 guppies :o... do you think they will eat them later on? I feed them all three times a day (smaller meals) so they hopefully won't want to eat the fry

she fiiiiiiinaly had her fry today, but she died after :'(  there are about 20 living in my guppy tank with 2 females and a male, they aren't trying to eat them, thank goodness. I forgot how small they are! I don't think my platy fry were this small?

I understand that, what I mean is what does it mean is what is it doing to my fish and how did it get like that?

The temp is 26 degrees C, I feed them once a day. What does the chestiness mean? I hope being pregnant all the time isn't harming her :(
