Sadly I don't think there's much you can do for her,the stresses of birthing may be too much for her.

The decor is a live plant not sure what it is!!! and a old greek arch, all boiled in hot water b4 putting in, not the plant but it was cleaned in tank water to get rid of any eggs or anything!!!

The Fish in there are 2 female guppys (one which is dying) one male guppy, 2 baby mollys and 5 small neon tetras!!! oh and 3 cherry shrimp!!!

sorry to hear of your loss, I have kept guppies for a while and sometimes this does just seem to happen, sadly in my experience its usually with their first fry.

Hopefully someone may be able to help further.

Bless her.
R.I.P.

How old was she?


Do any fish look thin or bloated.
What does it look like when your fish go to the toilet.
Any fish have enlarged anus or red and inflamed anus.
Any fish have sunken in bellys.

It could be a number of things, but need to rule out internal parasites.

 

[H_N_L_FISH]

No Fish bloated...
Normal fish poo no difference in the poop!!!...
no enlarged anus or redness...
no sunken bellies!!!...

Just not sure wots gone on with her, but she is a piece now!!!

 

[WILDER]

Ok.
Its quite common for livebearers to die while being pregnant, during birth, or after birth.
Sounds like a haemorage (
