You could try adding some melafix and a little salt to her water. This might help her or it might now,
but it would be worth a try!
Good luck!

Great news.

she has made a great and speedy recovery u cant tell she ever had a problem

it did
but now she is so much better one one side of her, u can barely tell there was ever a problem, and on the other side, its also looking much better and she is scholing with the rest of the female guppies almost back to the norm

Does it also look red and inflamed.

i got some pics, but the dang batteries in the camera like...went dead......soooo, maybe later today, but now her vent is very swolen, i almost fear she wasnt dont giving birth

well, i took all the males out a couple weeks ago, there was only 2 so she may not have any more my guppies dont seem to breed like guppies

I no she will have some more batches, but i wouldn't breed her anymore if she survives, good luck.

well its 1:00 and she is still in labor

11 still borns sense i went to bed, and she is MUCH thinner, stil breathing hard, and it looks like there might be 1-2 more but, sadly the majority of her labor are still borns:#(

but she is still alive, and i have changed her wate a few times already, a few lastnight and once this morning, i feel so bad or her

she is covered in them, and she is a few days over due to give birth, but all these red welt like....things apeared in the last 12 hours, parameters are on the way, and i just added 10 crystals of aqua salt, and a small dosage of mela fix, i have her in a 1 gallon holding container with some water sprite and some pond moss, but only a little, i am going to take a walk down to the local pond later today (maybe) to pick up a few more clumps, i just gave them a water change yestarday or the day before, about 7.5 gallons (its a 29 gallon)no other guppies are showing signs of this (or other fish) and she is huge atm i just feel like i wanna give her a squeeze, but it would probly kill her, i have seperated her so that she can be treated, and so that if she dies, i might be able to save some of the fry

well the poor thing is STILL in labor

i have about 10 live fry so far (havent checked in a littel bit)

the redness looks like is might possibly be fading i will update in the morning

Fishyhelper- sometimes female guppys rupture and blood vessels burst.
Sorry to hear it, it is usually caused by carrying too many fry.

Sorry, poor thing she in a bad way, hope you manage to save some fry, good luck.

the moss is washed in hot water, then quarintined for a few weeks, and


shes in labor!!!!!! i see 2 fry thus far, 1 in the watersprite, and 1 lying on the bottom, it looks new, and weak,

it looks like there is blood pooling by her head and on her side, on the same side of her body

i agree you don't no what you are fetching into the tank, i would remove the moss, all types of parasites could be living in there, are they flicking and rubbing against objects, are the gills red and inflamed, also are they heavy breathing, can you see any visable sign s of parasites on the fish body.

So you're using plants from your local waterways?
Are you makeing sure it's "clean" before adding it. You could be adding any number of parasites, funguses or who knows what else.
Raised and swollen patches could be from a parasite, could also be bacterial. Numbers when you get them will help.
