Guppy Birth

Question
My pregnant guppy gave birth while we were out we're not sure how many she had but 2 survived. One normal one deformed. she is still big and has a gravid spot but we let her out after a few hours of nothing. my question is do you think she will have more fry?

Answer
Hi Bri;

Poor things. That happens sometimes and it's just an unfortunate but natural part of fish breeding. She may indeed have more soon though. Sometimes hours, sometimes days later. Guppy females can carry babies from several fertilizations, which means more than one batch of babies of different ages are growing inside her. Provide lots of live plants for the new babies to hide in and nibble on in case you are surprised again. It really helps. Good luck!
