Dying can be caused by a few different things. Young guppies that are impregnated early (before they are close to full grown) often die due to the stress of birth. Guppy males will start trying to mate the female fry (young fish) as early as about 4 weeks of age. The second reason is also due to stress, but stress caused by males in the tank, constantly chasing/trying to mate with the females. It's recommended to have at least 3 females per 1 male in a tank as a distraction, allowing the female to get some much needed rest. It's also a good idea to separate the female after birth for a few days from the males in the tank, so that they can recover from birth.
Also, female guppies get exhausted easily from having fry, if you have males in the tank with them right after having fry it doesn't give them a chance to recover. They need quiet and brine shrimp for iron after having fry, some people put a small amount of Epsom salts in the tank also this seems to help. A teaspoon to ten gallons of water is right, or a pinch to a gallon of water.
Also, water parameters may be off with ammonia or nitrite too high. The babies will be more sensitive.
I'm a real guppy expert, I've bred and had lot o fry. One of the many reasons could be that your PH balance is off, another one is the temp. could be to high or to low (guppies can live in 69F to 85F) another cold be that the other fish in your tank might think there yummy :) or you could have a disease
You failed to give her proper water conditions. Follow the rules.The rules are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water but more is better. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Follow the rules and you stand a chance of keeping fish successfully. Miss out on any of them, and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.
The babies were too large and they got stuck at delivery time?
yes it can. it is like people giving birth sometimes a women dies giving birth.
yes, somtimes they do if they are over age 78.
but to keep it alive you need stress coat and zyme and water conditioner.
The guppies may well rip the legs off the shrimp.
Yes. Tetras, guppies and angelfish can coexist in one fish tank. Keep in mind that Angel fish will get territorial when they are mating.
they keep you from dying they keep you from dying
no they don't. but both of the parents will eat the guppies... keep guppies away from mom and dad!
Simple answer is yes.
guppies can thrive in water around 73 degrees- I keep my guppies in water ranging from 74 to 82 degrees.-
Guppies are very adaptable and small in size so a very large tank is not required for them to be happy in. A 20 gallon tank would be enough to keep five guppies in.
they should mollies arnt that aggresive but if the guppies are small enough it is possible the mollies will eat them but its not likely
Fish that have long, wavy fins should not be put with guppies, because guppies will nibble their long fins. Also, many bigger fish will eat guppies. Keep a separate tank with guppies and a few "cleaner" fish, which do not harm guppies.
The ones that are motionless could mean that they are either; 1. Dying. 2. Or stressed before or after giving birth in a case of a female.

You could either sell some of your guppies so as they won't breed, sell the guppy babies you have online or at yur local pet store or keep one of your guppies in one of the seperator tanks you get for your main tank.
