Why did the guppy give birth to two small fish when the belly was not big

The guppy gave birth to two small fish before it had a big belly, probably due to the following reasons:

1.When a mother gives birth for the first time, she may have a difficult birth due to inexperience or over-panic, resulting in a small belly.

2.The mother fish carries a small number of fish, and the mother fish produced for the first time may only carry a few small fish, so the belly is not large.

3.The mother may have eaten the small fish, so you can't see a big belly.

4.The mother may have given birth to the small fish, but the small fish have not been eaten by the mother, so you can't see a big belly.

It should be noted that guppies are ovoviviparous, that is, after the small fish hatch in the belly of the mother, they will be born directly by the mother. Therefore, there is no necessary correlation between the number of small fish of guppies and the size of the belly of the female. If the mother has already given birth to small fish, it is recommended to keep the small fish separately from the mother fish to avoid being eaten by the mother.

Young female guppies.

For the first time, the amount of fish is small, and the belly is not large (as the age increases, the small fish have more and the belly is bigger).

Only two small fish are raw, and the other small fish should have been eaten, and you just didn't see it.

Mine is smaller than you, I got pregnant too early, and now I gave birth to about 10 of them, because they are completely developed but all of them are stillborns, and there has been no separation of male and female, resulting in the whole tank of female fish all pregnant, what to do.

Guppies give birth to fish larvae at one time, usually about 12 hours after giving birth, and the stomach will become very flat after giving birth, and the fetal spots will basically disappear. If you are frightened during childbirth, you will stop having children and will not give birth again until about a week later. So when it gives birth, it should be put in a special breeding tank.

Guppies will give birth in one go without being disturbed by external factors. Guppies are not ovulated, but are produced like mammals, so they are born all at once. When guppies are in production, farmers need to provide a comfortable and quiet environment for the guppies to ensure that the guppies can produce smoothly.

It is also necessary to feed the guppies in time after giving birth to ensure that the female guppies can recover their strength.

Guppy precautions.

When raising guppies, it is easy to have some problems, which will lead to such and such problems in the growth and development of guppies, which need to be avoided. The first is the issue of polyculture. When raising guppies, do not mix them with other aggressive fish.

Guppies have a gentle personality and are easily attacked by polyculture with aggressive fish, resulting in poor growth.

When it comes to breeding, there is a taboo to pair guppies indiscriminately. If the guppies have a good pedigree, random pairing may lead to very poor quality of the offspring, and it will also cause some harm to the broodstock. Therefore, when breeding, it is necessary to pay attention to the breeding technology in order to successfully reproduce.

The reason why the guppy has a big belly but does not produce small fish is because there is a problem with the male fish.

Guppies are ovoviviparous, and after giving birth to eggs in the belly, they are fertilized by the male, and then developed into small fish before they are born from the belly of the female.

If the male cannot fertilize the female, the eggs in the belly of the female can only remain in the state of eggs all the time, and cannot develop into small fish, which is the reason why the female has a large belly but does not lay small fish.

You can put a few more males in the tank, so that the females can have small fish, and the large number of males also helps to compete and make the born calves healthier and more advantageous.
