I bought these guppies from a guy on aquabid a few months ago and the females were so large and fat they looked like they'd have fry any day. It's been two months and not one single baby fish. Then yesterday I noticed one of the females lying on the ground with what seemed like an open ulcer on her belly. Well of course when I got home from work she was dead. Anyone familiar with this? :(

constipation can make female guppies look ready to pop when they arent. It can also rupture their bowls.

A retained pregnancy can also do that.

I wouldnt feed them for a day or two, give their systems a chance to clear out. If you think it is babies, you can do a water change, that usually gets my females to give birth.
