guppy just had a few fry and lots of eggs...?

Question

well i guessed right and she was about to be due but when she gave birth she only gave birth to 3 fry and about 20 eggs..so whats up with the eggs...dead? or what?

Answer 1

these are the eggs that never developed to fry, that means she gave birt to early
The common reason for that is beeing stressed, especially if you put her to early in the breeder


Hope that helps and congrats

Answer 2

Guppies are livebearers, so the eggs are dead. Is this her first birthing? She may do better next time.
