So my gupp had two fry ( that have made it) and i managed to get the fry in the breeder box which so far they are doing good but the mama seems to sit by the breeder box and if i go near the breeder box i swear she looks like she is getting mad! Is this normal

Perhaps, although it's likely that she's mad that you're not feeding her the tasty little morsels that are a few inches from her face. Guppies have a negative parenting instinct. They eat their own fry (which I'm guessing you know, since you got the little guys in the breeder box).

lol.. yea, guppies aren't going to win "mom of the year" awards and I'd agree that she's wanting those tasty snacks that she can't get to.

Nice answer lol.

the mother wants to eat them. are you under feeding her? mothers can be extremely hungry after giving birth

give her ice cream
