My female guppy gave birth about two weeks ago to about 24 healthy fish and one deformed. about two days ago her back half, from her anus to the end of her tail, has looked dead. she doesnt move it at all and the tail is falling off(it is not being bitten off by the other fish i am sure)is it possible that she might be paralyzed?she still eats and everything, what can i do if anything?

It sounds as if she might have been hurt delivering the babies. Her spine could have been damaged or she may have damaged blood vessels. I'm afraid there really isn't anything you can do for her if this is the case. If she stops eating that will be the time to humanely euthanize her.
Sorry

fish are weak after birthing. sounds like she has fin rot. medicatate-remove charcoal from filter. siphon 1/4 of warer off NEAR THE BOTTOM OF TANK. every 30 days (no more) and refill.
