I have a few guppies in my community tank, and I had a very pregnant female die. No signs of being picked on or attacked, but her tummy was red. Its been two weeks and the tank is very healthy with no more fish loss. Could it be she died in childbirth??? She was a second generation guppy and very pretty. Auuuggg! I was so sad when she died.... anyone else have a guppy die in child birth??

Yeah, I had that happen a few years ago. The baby started coming out but it was too big and she died. It happened to another person here the other day, so I guess it's a bit common. Sorry about your loss.

it might of been here or it happened 2 a friend of mine but his female guppy died then a shrimp cut her open and the babys survived so may be you could cut the female open if they die not now as they would be dead but within a hour or id say i could be wrong.
