GeeTee Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 What is likely to be the problem if a guppy has still born fry? A larger %age of the fry are coming out dead than alive and it has happened on previous births for her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRSkz Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 my first question would be how big or small (age) is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 She is a large fish,couldn't be sure of the age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Do you move her to a breeding trap for the birthing?? Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yes it is in a breeding trap now with both dead and live fry caught in the bottom of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishboi Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 ur probably putting her in to the breeding trap too early and stressing her out making her deliver early causing the still birth. it has happen to me several time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 That was why I asked the question. Premature birth. Get another, but smaller tank than your main aquarium and use that. Have it set up with the same conditions as your main tank and have riccia and java moss in it for fry cover. The plant also produces infusorians for the fry to eat.

GeeTee Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 ok, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Indian and java fern are also good plants to add to a breeding tank... the fry can hide in them and seem to eat their roots quite happily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
