Pregnant Guppy

[alexbinge]

Hi guys i have been breeding guppys fore a year or so now and i have got a unusaul one. I have got a verry larg female that is swimming with bad stability and some times upside down. I have also noticed the skin looks a bit like she has dropsey in a couple of places. Could all these sighns be because of heavy pregnancy.

Obviously, based on a very short description, it's very difficult to say, but swimming upside down isn't normal for a guppy. Whilst I've never bred guppies, I have had experience of pregnant platies, mollies and Tiburons Limia, and they've never swum upside down whilst pregnant.

It sounds much more like an illness.
