I had my pregnant female guppy alone in my breeding tank, it was very obvious when she was about to give birth, as she started swimming around very fast, and hovering round the heater, although she couldnt keep still for long. She had from what we can see, about 10 fry, although some may be hiding and / or eaten.
However, after giving birth, my female didnt become calmer, she continued to dart around the tank like crazy, even with the lights off...she darted around all day yesterday, all last night, and this morning, and now we have just found her dead...
Is this normal? Could something have caused her to become stressed after birth and swim around to the point of exhaustion?
