pleaz help
i have to partner femail guppies, i got them off some one and they were both pregnant so i have kept them together for the last 3 months. at home we refer to them as blacky and whitey. any way they are both female and about a month ago blacky started bottom dwelling. well they were in a small 1/2 gallon display tank, after her not haveing them for almost a week i descided maybe the tank they were in was to small for her to birth in. so i set up a 65 gallon long tank. (i figured she would like it) half way through filling up the new tank, my 2 year old says "mommy fishey". i went running to the tank asuming she got the fish out (as she did with the tanks previouse resident). but to my surprise i had babies! and all was well. so i made the transfer and finished setting up the tank.
well i found out that it was whitey that had blacky was still pregnant. she stayed kinda floating on some plastic leaves for 3-4 weeks, never giveing birth.
just a quick speck sheet, both fish are fancy tail femailes, blacky goes very black for a week at a time she is also a guppy silver when she is not black. she is over and inch and a half long and almost a half inch acrost the belly! right before/after the move she developed what looked like a blood spot between her belly and spine. this has since just become another window to the babies.
this last week i noticed blacky getting sucked to the intake for the filter, but if i hit the glass she swam right off, this happned severail times.
so i moved her and whitey into a 4-5 gallon hex tank. now she is back to bottom dwelling she has been black for almost two weeks! oh and whitey is about to pop again!!!
needless to say i have been very suprized for the last week when she has lived through the night. i really don't know how old this fish is so i would be fine if it was just her passing on. but i am seriously worried about her fry. (i am a mom what can i say) has any one ever done a rescue surgery? can you walk me through it or send me a web site that would. also is there any thing else i should try. i do not know if this is her first set but given her size it would greatly suprize the whole fish world if it was. can guppys have complications if its not there first batch? plz some one help me. if its all impossiable should i let her suffer until she dies or is there a nice way to speed up her passing. thanks
