Dead Female...

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i found one of my big females floating dead last night. Haven't had her for long, and she was pregnant but not far along.

When i took her out i noticed that the.... don't know the name... orifice from which she gives birth... had a swelling, or something poking out, i don't know, looked blocked?

I gave her a very specialised and professional post-mortem poke in the belly, and a clear, thick orange gel bulged out and then came globbing out of this.... orifice. Got too grossed out at that point, so not sure if the orifice split open a bit or if this stuff just came out from the pressure.

Was this jelly stuff the beginning of little guppies-to-be? Same colour as you see in their bellies when they're pregnant, before it gets darker.

Why did she die? Something went wrong? Age? She was big, but not as big as i've seen females get - i have slightly larger ones...
