I have had a VERY fat female guppy for a few weeks now, obviously she is pregnant. This morning when I got up she was on the bottom, her tail is missing and her belly has bright red spots on it.
Anyone know what is going on???
 
I'm not 100% sure on what it could be. The first thing I would check for is to make sure there are no signs of fin loss on any other fish, make sure there's no fin-rot or any other disease. I noticed the other day that my oldest male guppy's tail was looking very short, but soon discovered that the other males were the ones that munched it! I don't know what the red dots mean, maybe you should isolate her incase there is some sort of disease.
 
None of the other fish are losing their fins and they all "seem" to be fine. She died about 20 mins after I posted the message. Her whole belly was bright red. I have no idea what it was, I hope no other fish get it!
