Guppies Ill After Giving Birth - Help

[leisaj]

can anyone shed some light on this problem ? please bare with me i'll explain as best i can

1st guppy female had 38 fry within 12hours after she arched over (looked like swim bladder problem)i thought i was going to lose her, i put her in a lightly salted tank & fed small amount mushed green pea, she battled bravley for 2 weeks then looked well enough to go back in main tank, within 2 day's of being back in main tank (on friday16th jan) she produced 30 more fry, one was stuck for over 1 1/2 hours, she started fading looked very poorly, i managed to free the stuck baby which was dead & put her back in hospital tank again in lightly salted water, she's the upright 1 in pic, she still looks weak but otherwise ok

guppy 2, on saturday 17th jan gave birth to 30+ fry then within hours arched over the same as the 1st guppy did, she is also in the hospital tank now with the guppy 1, my other females are guplers ( endlar cross guppy ) 1 of those died after having 25 fry, the other 2 had their babies and are fine healthy & happy..
does anyone have any idea's of what this could be & the best way to deal with it i have never had a health problem or disease in my tanks so am at a loss & very confused with it all ???

the fish on the right looks like it has a funny top lip, it's possibly mouth fungus but can't be sure from the pic and mouth funugus usually kills pretty quickly, within a few days.

I would say the fish are genetically weak and the stress of giving birth was too much and damaged their bodies. Keep them away from other fish, especially males and see how they go over the next month or so.

thanks colin i have got them in a hospital tank on their own, her lips are ok i think i took pic as she was sucking air lol, there are no sings of any illness hence why i thought the stress of birthing had upset the swim bladder, i've never come across this before & wondered in anyone else has any experiance could shed some light on it ?
