My guppy is giving birth??

Question

I put her in a breeder net yeterday... today when I went to check on her (about an hour ago) there were two little babys on the bottom of the net, and she still looked huge.. so I left her to do her thing... I went back just now, and it is the same situation... two little ones, and she is still just as big, but now she looks a bit stressed- rubbing her sides on the bottom and sides of the net, and swimming back and forth like crazy... is this normal??

Answer 1

This often happens with guppy, usually after a few hours all thr fries are out,but sometimes the female have some trouble giving birth. If shes not able to release them, she probably will die. I dont think theres anything you can do about it, but if she does die, in the seconds following her death, you can always try to release the fry by rubbing her belly really gently, but theres no guarantee the fry will still be alive. So watch your fish in the next hours if the babies are not out :S she might be in trouble...
