I'd imagine that an unfertilized guppy egg is microscopic, as most unfertilized eggs are. Are you sure that it's an egg and not a dead baby balled up or an undeveloped baby?
You may want to remove the guppy from the breeder tank or else she will eat the young, unless they have fry grass to hide in. Just keep an eye on if she has any more and be sure to place them in the breeder tank.

Guppies dont lay eggs. They furnish stay ones. grant stay aquatic plant life (lots as much as achievable) that your woman guppy does not be sexually molested. If she needs to have touch with the male, she will merely come out of teh view and present herself. Your guppy is having a marvel with the harrassment she's have been given from yet another tank mate. provide her adequate area to flow. according to possibility you get carry of a small tank the place she could desire to no longer swim loose and be faraway from the assaulter.

Hi, The fry of guppies develop inside a egg sack inside of the female guppy. As the fry are being delivered they normal brake though the egg sack and that is why you see free swimming fry being born. When the fry don't brake though the egg sack they are ether to weak or are still born. It is all a part of nature. So it is nothing for you to worry about. Good luck with you new guppy fry.

This is absolutely normal, and is just an egg that didn't develop into an actuall baby fry, has nothing to do with the sperm
I would take out the female, since it seems like she's done birthing, if she's still is not skinny yet though, turn up the heat to 82 degrees, that will help her to give birth to the rest of the fry
Also for care please read the following link

Hope that helps
Good luck

The problem was the Guppy didnt eats enough & the fish didnt get enough protein to produce the egg, so it came out like that, You Must get that out of the tank or it will grow fungus!

it was most likly a egg that did not get fertalized but like girls when an egg douse not get fertalized it must come out any way so she probly pushed it out along with the babys. nothing to worry about the male just didnt have enough sperm to get all her eggs shes fine and so are the babys

I don't know. Maybe it didn't develop fast enough.
