Caryl Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Could have a stuck one with the rest backing up behind it. Apart from a gentle stroke (as they do when they strip cichlids) I can't suggest anything else. They can drop fry on and off over a few days.

New_to_fish_world Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thinking of just letting her out of the breeding trap to see if that will give her the Shove she Needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 A while ago I had a guppy who gave birth every couple of weeks for over 2 months. Maybe this is what is happening here. The next lot of fry may not be quite ready to be born yet. However, I'm pretty certain that if you let her out into a tank sods law will take effect - she will drop any that are ready when you are not watching.
