have you checked the google feature on guppylog for pregnancy and birth related topics? Have you checked immediate help section links at the top of the page? There has been a very great deal posted about guppies and the ways they give birth, what they look like afterwards, etc etc. She may have had many more babies than you have seen and those were the only ones remaining by the time you found them, or if she is young, that may be all she had this time. Sometimes after they give birth they still look pregnant, especially if they are older and larger guppies. Many different things could be going on here, and there are not enough details in your posts to tell. After you check out the "search guppylog" google feature and "immediate help" pregnancy and birth topics you might be able to tell us you have figured it out! let us know what you decide and good luck. methemom

distance, if she will deliver young again. Give her the best TLC you can and space when she is going to drop. If her company are all guppies, feed them something meaty and provide shelter and some fry will be able to survive. The weak, stupid and unlucky may not make it. :(

In time you will be grateful that every fry doesn't make it. ;)

When replying to others in a forum's thread, either respond under the specific comment or at the bottom of the whole works. It is a lot easier to follow that way. :)

Good luck and all the best!
