Is My Guppy Pregnant?

[laura91]

Well I posted this on the 8th September and still nothing, I have kind of gave up, I check her but not as much, I will just let her drop her fry in the main tank as I have no idea when she will pop lol. Thank you everyone for helping

She may have aborted her babies, and may be in the process of re-absorbing them.

Yeah maybe, she's acting strange, chasing certain fish if she passes them and others chase and peck at her, a male platy is always doing it.

Do you have any live plants or plants with small amount of space between the stems? I found around 10 fry living amongst the roots/base of the stems of my amazon swords this morning. The female had been spending the past few days lying on the bottom in the same corner, chasing other fish away, and protecting the fry. Have a close look around the bottom of the tank where she was lying and in any slightly hard to reach areas. May take a minute or two to find anything, they're very translucent as fry!

I've only got plastic plants, I've had a good look really can't see any, maybe she's had them and they've been eaten. I will get a picture of her tonight and upload it tomorrow, do you think there could be something wrong with her? I mean I've had her for nearly a year With a male and never has she had fry, when I got her aswell I noticed she had an odd shaped spine, right by the tail it goes out of line and on one side you see a lump, I got her like this but it has never been a problem for her

My guppy just gave birth but they are not alive, they are all ball shaped (I'm guessing still in the sacs/shells). I'm gutted.
