If your guppy is giving birth its not an emergency, so do not post it there thats for sickness emergency, Is your guppy squared off? You will know if your guppy Is giving birth because there will be babys swimming around.

post a picture and we can tell if she is pregnant or not.

 

[wilbrowne]

yes, she has squared off, is showing all the sings of having babies, had one at 4pm and thats it.

Am trying to upload pics, but it wont let me cos they are #28### than 100k.

O ok well atleast you know she is giving birth, I use photobucket and post the link and thats how I share my pictures.

good luck with the drop.

fish born Premature and still have a yolk sack are usually very weak and will find it very difficult to swim right up to the surface to breath Survival rate will not be good it is best to put them in a small container such as a margarine tub with water level of no more than 4" deep use same tank water, float container in tank don' feed fry for 2 or 3 days they should recover well within this time.View attachment 61802

Welcome to TFF WilBrowne.
Posting pictures here is easy. You just copy the img code from your photobucket account and paste it here as if it were test. The end result, for your fry picture, is this.

That fry in the picture is a bit premature but close enough to full term that it might very well survive.
