A female guppy is almost always carrying fry. Since a female guppy does not contribute nutrients to fry the way a mammal nourishes its young in-utero, it will be almost unaffected by carrying fry. They are just a burden of x amount of bulk and y amount of mass for her to swim with. They are not a drain on her resources as such.

What does the term inbreeding mean?

Inbreeding means to breed a fish with a fish it is related to, like mother with son, daughter with brother rather than adding "new blood"/genetics, ie other fish.
