Right it must be a big baby, gently pull the tail to help release it from the mother, poor thing bet you are panicking.

sorry do you have a knife you ca usually save the rest of the fry if you are quick, it sounds bad but you may get some positive out of it

 

[zanzibar_909]

too late shes gone... as in i flushed her. i was thinking about doing that but couldn't make myself do it. my dad says i can get more guppys and the other one i think just got pregnant too.

I agree but on the bright side it is how you learn, and nxt time she will know wot to do, after all that is how you learn in fish keeping, sorry for your loss

 

[Annastasia]

So sorry to hear that. Sometimes fish just have birthing troubles, there's really nothing you can do.

little girl.

On another note, you should get another female Guppy. It's best to have at least 2 females per male, otherwise the male will just try to mate with the one female constantly, and stress her out. This can make her abort fry, or having birthing complications, and stress also makes them less immuse to disease. So I'd get at least one more female.

Sorry man.
Happened to me once.

 

[zanzibar_909]

yeah i really want to get a bunch more guppys. what do you think maybe 6 females and 2 males? or should i just get two more females?
