Guppy Female

[CoPz]

My female guppy has given birth to 5 fry, 3 of which were dead upon arrival. I know she has more inside of her but she doesn't want to give birth to them... it's been a good couple of days since she had the last one. Is there anything that I can do to make her give birth or relax her in order to give birth?

I think being relaxed means kept away from male or aggressive female guppies, well fed and having clean water. Also you could try increasing the temperature to speed up the metabolic rate.

Everything that Billy said is what I would recommend also. Try not to have her cramped in a breeding net because that can stress her out.

Dont feed as much

Maybe you should put her in the tank and the males into the net

Now there's a great idea! That thought had never even crossed my mind...
