A bout a week ago I had a pregnant female guppy who was having her babies when I came in a saw that she had two baby fish who were conjoined at the stomach and I'm not talking about they were only connected by the yolk sack, they were connected by there scaales or there skin.
 
Are they still alive, or were they dead to begin with?!!?
 
Why would that be impossible? Many species are prone to this type of defect. There are even people who collect these type of animals--turtles and snakes can often live a nearly normal lifespan this way.
 
hmm

Two headed calves can live a long life as well if treated as a pet.
 
Well I never thought A baby like that and no they were alive and they were swimming around
 
Poor guys. You will have to take good care of those babies. They could have a good life if you take care of them.
 
Well sadly they were killed by other gupies taht were in the tank the babie were in a seperate thingy but there tails were hanging out of the openings and well one of them was ripped away from the other and sadly the other one died to. If they were still alive then I would have taken good care of them and made sure they were happy. I feel guilty about this happening.
 
It isn't your fault. There are plenty of healthy fry that also get killed, even by other fry. You can't possibly control it. You did your best.
 
It isn't uncommon to see deformed fry in a spawn. Most breeders cull the fry (remove the deformed or underdeveloped fry) and keep only the best. I know I do.
 
I keep all of my baby fish and know I have two 10 gallon fish tanks ful of guppies and they breed so much that I had t seperate the male from the females.
