Ok, but where do I put her?  The only other tank is the 50 gal downstairs and theres other fish in there....
Any kind of CLEAN glass container will do in an emergency. Isolate her ASAP. As the stress of all these "births" may kill her.
By putting her in a glass container that will stop these births? Im leaving for work in about half hour.... Will she be ok in the glass container while im gone? When do I put her back in the tank? She hasent had any more births that Ive seen so far. Only the 2 over the past couple of days...

Does what I described in the previous post sound like dead fry?

Thanks for everyones help :(
 
I never seen aborted fry or deformed fry, but usually when they abort is a white or clear beaded string.
 
Could be dead fry but not sure. Putting her in a container will not stop it, but if you think she will be okay, just leave her.
Does her belly still look large or can you tell?
 
I didnt end up putting her in a hospital tank. I did not have time before work. I called the lfs and they said they have never heard of this before and this place is a well know place.... They say its poo.... I will post a pic of the guppy soon. Do all guppies have a dark spot (gravid spot) in the middle? Cause she has one.
Also the thing that came out of her was brown than white..... If she does it again I will defentally take a pic of it for you guys to see.
Thanks :unsure:
 
Hi there, i had a similar thing happen a while back with my dalmation mollie; she stayed pregnant for about 2months before dropping 65fry, only 10 which were still alive. The surviving fry appeared very weak and most dyed shortly after been born; most of the dead fry were a mixture of being half developed to fully developed.
The mother mollie was already pregnant when i first bought her(although very early on in the pregnancy) and i was told that the large difference in ammonia/nitrates from going from the lfs water to my tank could have caused the deformitys in the fry, leaving most still born inside her, I always have perfect water quality but i don't know the lfs stats at the time so it is posible, a similar thing could have happened to you.
 
Ok another thing just came out of her. Im so fustrated! :sad: I dont know what to do..... Its really depressing because I dont know why this is happening and if shes in any pain :-(
 
Either there is little you can do to help her give birth to the still born fry quicker, just try and keep water quality good and keep her enviroment as least stressful as posible etc.
Hope things turn out better for you.
 
Thanks for the support :no: Like Im happy for my mollie that gave birth but sad for my guppy -_-
 
Sorry, be glad for you when she has finished, but they have to come out.

Hey, Well at least I now know there is someone out there that has experienced the same thing as me... I thought I was going crazy!
So far so good though, I saw one this morning (deformed/dead fry) coming out of my guppy but havent seen anymore so far.... Keeping my fingers crossed....
Thanks everyone. I will keep you updated if theres more.... :unsure:
