Female die after give birth

Hi,

I just into guppy not long ago.

I have a blue tub (3x2x1.5) with airbubbles and alot of plants inside. And is under sun & rain

Brought some mixture of male & female from QianHu. It give birth after afew day at home, but after that all female died. A few week later I brought another batch (male & female) again. Same thing happen.

Now my tub left all males and the babies

Can brother here advise me how to avoid this thing to happen. Thanks

this is weird. Most probably the females is infected with bacterial or parasite before you bought them.

usually the male are the weaker ones!

Might be due to immature females that got pregnant too early & body too weak to handle the birth since they are "mix" at young age. Try to get those older females or power feed(pump) them with fbw.

I experienced this too. 3 female and 2 males. 3 females just just flipped and died the 2 males still strong. Really dun understand.

It's always good to separate the females from the males before and after birth so that they will not be harass by the males courtship. Alternatively provide more hiding spots.
This is one of the many possible reasons.

Guppies used to be the toughest fishes for beginners. But these days guppies drop and flip very easily. Actually very sad about this. I stopped buying guppies for years already...
