Fry were born on Christmas Day or there-about, so about a week ago.
Little rascals are doing quite well in the community tank, but I counted only 4, which is very few compared to what I was reading - not sure if natural reduction occurred as Christmas kept me away.
How would I know if there is any birth related complication?
Yesterday and today she was fasting - she still seems to poop guppy food (color gave it away) - this could point to constipation?
No other symptoms, like fin damage, shape change or suspicious dots.
I kept her most of the time separated - apart from the
water change, where water level would have been too low - but while she was in community tank she was poked and chased quite a lot by the remaining juvenile/almost adult guppies (who are otherwise peaceful).
And I read that "You may also notice that guppies begin to become bullies when a member of their school is sick. When there’s a sick fish in their midst, they’re a threat to the rest of the guppies. So they’ll begin to bully and harass them to move them away from the others and keep them on their own."
If in another few days she is not any better then I guess I just need to hope her fry will survive into adulthood and be a worthy replacement.
