Im just going to run through this quick as i cant say properly cos of this pics, i need a closer view..

The fish i can see looks like guppy, and ornage one looks like a platy..

Anways both these type have fry every 4-6 weeks, mainly at the 4 week mark..

When a fish drops fry, its best to write down the dates and you will start to see a pattern in the drops. (every 28-32 normally)

A female holds sperm packets for up to 6 drops, so she can be pregnant for this period of time without a male present.

There is a pinned thread i have done at the top of this section, read it, it will help you.

The guppy in bottom left pic, look heavy pregnant..

The platys looks pregnant, but from what i can see, very overfed as well.


If you can some clearer closer pics, i can tell you more on when they will drop roughly.

I don't see any endlers in your pictures. I do see some quite pregnant guppies though. A female endler, not a hybrid, has no color in the tail like these ones have. For an endler, the fry drop fairly predictably at about 23 day intervals. I don't know what I would expect with a guppy/endler hybrid since I have never tried to keep them. If the fish on the far left picture in post #3 is our endler, she is far gone indeed.

endler/guppy m8 are wierd, some drop early (17-23 days) some drop normal like guppies (28-32)

Could of been due to been too weak, water problems (whats your stats), i would do a big waterchange to perk the tank up.

Did you feed her well after giving birth? this is very important..

Some livebearers do die after giving birth and i guess its all down to what the body of the fish is capable of, if they are a weak strain, some just cant handle it.
