Worried About Our Guppy

[cheerycherry]

one of our guppies in my hubbys tank has been giving birth really slowly,it all started on wednesday night she would pop out one fry every 30 mins for a couple hours and we caught them and put them in our nursery tank (well hubbys tank has a divider on)

Anyway yesterday morning she was still really huge and no signs of more fry and it stayed like that until about an hour ago,shes giving birth to fry after dead fry
You can see them comming out and they are hanging half out of mum for a good 20 mins before they fall out dead eek.Shes looking quite stressed out now but not sure if its cause shes been put on her own or not or somethings wrong? im a bit worried about her and the fact she keeps dropping dead fry,Would she of held out too long and has lost all babies inside her? will she just drop all dead fry now cause shes still really big

Do they look deformed.
Sadly it happens.
I would issolate her and use a internal bacterial med as dead fish inside her can cause internal infection if they were rotting inside her.

Yes shes in isolation and has been all night,if shes had anymore then shes ate them but she is still quite big this morning,All fry which were dead did look maybe deformed the tails were all curled up.Ill add some med now thanx

The reason why she is more than likely large still, is a healthy guppy produces eggs before giving birth so when she dose give birth their are still of eggs inside her.

Guppies stressed or shocked will sometimes hold on too long the babies resulting the deaths, but at the same time moving or trapping them to early is also sometimes a problem, this is why i keep guppies on their own as a family group a rear the fry with the adult's
