Tsarmina Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 one of my guppies gave birth to 2 pairs of twins joined at the tummy. is this a common occurrence? unfortunately i didn't get any photos before she ate them. also she had 2 dead ones. too much inbreeding??

Caryl Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Alan got some good pics of his (I think it was him). Not common, but it does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Go to Aquanuts post and see his pics. He has some good pics. I had one taken a while back thru a magnifying lens of a young killie, the same as Tim's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 so far just the 2. 3 that were stillborn and 30 standard fry. i just thought it extra strange that she had 2 pairs of twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsarmina Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Well, mum spent the day in a breeding net and we have another set of twins. joined at the tummy. they are currently residing in a breeding net of their own. will see if i can get better pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 well, 3 days and they're still alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Are they swimming? Do they go along on their sides or does one get stuck upside down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 they try not to swim if they can help it, but i check at least twice a day to make sure they're still alive. watching them swim is funny. most of the time, 1 of them is doing them swimming and the others just along for the ride. it seems they take turns, though they are still very small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
