guppy fry stuck

[mcboo]

Hi my guppy is giving birth and one is coming out but it is stuck. How can I help her to get it out? It's been almost 5 hours since it is been stuck. And I thought it will come out eventually but it didn't.

I think you just need to let nature take it's course as any intervention would likely cause more harm than good. After so much time, the prognosis for the fry is not good.

You might have to use a pair of tweezers and grab the fry to help pull it out. If it doesn't come out soon, the female could die and so could any fry still in her. Otherwise leave them be and hope for the best.

Sometimes raising the water temperature to 28C can help get them out, but there is no guarantee.
