cichlid7 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I just put my female guppy in to a breeder trap and 5 mins later she dropped 1 fry the 1 min later she dropped a egg! 2 mins later another fry How the heck could a guppy lay a EGG I know that it was not from another fish because there are only a male and female guppy in the tank and i watched her drop it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's a fry that isn't fully formed yet. They do that sometimes when they drop their fry early from stress etc. It won't hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 yeh thats right, an undeveloped fry which will just look like a ball. This happenes to stressed fish or first time breeders. can also just happen every now and then though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Guppies have eggs like other fish it is just that they normally hatch before birth. In this case as suggested it has been born early and has not developed to hatching through the stress of being moved. I keep female guppies in a large trap semi permanently to avoid the stress of moving them when heavily gravid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
