better photos from the side and top? do you have a questopm?

she probably has more fry or is bloated

How warm is the tank. Try dropping the temperature by 4 degrees C one evening, and see if that doesn't get her going.

oh no!!! don't be discouraged, do a huge water change, and care for the babies well... these fish are made for having a lot of babies, like in the wild not all 22 would survive...
do u need any baby care tips?

that are too big for them, feed POWDERED fish food (pellets/crumbles)

baby guppy fry are usually not interested any food during the first 24-hours of being born
if you're feeding newly hatched brine shrimp that would be fine your baby guppies should have no trouble eating brine shrimp

With my Guppy fry i feed a sprinkle of spirulina powder for the first day or 2, Then start on powdered/crushed flake food same as the adults eat. After day 3 i start introducing live/frozen foods then keep rotating the foods throughout the daily feeds.
25% water change every other day. By Day 5/7 they will have a go at any food offered, I drop some large bloodworm, Brine Shrimp in & leave it for 30 mins,Then scoop out what they have left or cannot eat.

Agreed! The first day there's no use to feed them. They will use the nutrients in their yolk sac first.
