After my guppy's birth, she almost completely lost her gravid spot and it seemed as if she wasn't pregnant any more. Then about a week later, it came back. She's still pregnant

I woke up this morning to find a fat male guppy. he looks like my pregnant female guppy.He's usually the one chasing the female, but this morning he was just swimming by his self. Sometimes he would just become motionless in the water not move. When he did move at times it was a little slow...

I don't think bread has the nutrients that the fish need. Your best to stick with fish food.
