Hey there
my girlfriend has been keeping guppies for about 6 months now
We had our first batch of fry (around30) back in november and all the babies survived in a breeding net for about a month until we got our new 50 gallon. They all grew up there and are fine.
We use a 12 gallon as a breeding tank, a 10 gallon as a growout tank and the 50 as the show tank.
Basicalll, ever since that first batch of fry, all the babies have been dieing and so do the mothers after giving birth. We've had maybe 10-15 batches of fry since and the same thing always happens
The babies look fine and are moved to the 10 gallon growout tank. Then after a few days, their fins become all clamped and eventually they die.
The mother also gets sick right after giving birth. They won't eat and their stomach kind of seems to be caving in instead of showing a little belly like they usually do. After a few days they die.
Please note all the mothers so far have been store bought since our own guppies are just getting old enough to breed themselves...
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this?
