You mean if your guppy is giving birth and the babies won't pass? You should net the guppy out. Hold the guppy (yes, with your hands) in one hand and gently push your finger on the guppy's mid-area is a way that seems like you are rubbing the fish, but a little bit harder. If you are a novice, or just nervous, take your guppy to a vet and they will handle the situation. :)
Fightn' Fact #1: Always make sure your hand are wet before you have to handle your aquarium fish for any reason. Especially fish with softer fins like Bettas.
Fightn' Fact #2: If you try the first way and put your female back in your tank and she doesn't continue giving birth, don't worry. She just needs a few minutes to calm down. However take her too a vet if she is still carrying longer than a day.

∙ 9y agoThe first thing to do is to do is to understand the situation. The female has a fry lodge in its uterous (or whatever you call a Guppys' birthing pipe) The way to handle this by yourself gently. DON'T SQUEEZE HER!!! Next, rub the guppy from gill to anal fin with your finger. Not too hard though. The lodged fry should pass. If you are too nervous to do this, take the fish to the vet. (Yes, you can take fish to vets)
A Fightn' Fact: After assisting the female, she may not give birth right away. She's fine. She just needs time to recuperate, she should continue within the week.
