In guppy populations, it's common for adult guppies to eat their own offspring, especially if they are stressed or hungry. The number of baby guppies consumed can vary widely, depending on factors such as the size of the adult population, availability of food, and environmental conditions.

Providing plenty of vegetation and hiding spots can help reduce predation among guppies.

When a pregnant guppy dies, the developing embryos inside her may not survive due to the lack of necessary conditions for their growth and development.

Typically, if the guppy is not too decomposed, the embryos can be seen as small, undeveloped fish. However, if the guppy has been dead for some time, the embryos may have already perished or become unidentifiable.

How can a guppy in solitary confinement get pregnant?
Live bearers such as guppies and swordtails have the unique ability to store sperm from male guppies for as long as 6 months or 6 drops (births). If the female has been in the same tank with a male even once, they can get pregnant. If you are sure they have never been with a male, it may be a fake gravid spot, which is not the fry's eyes showing through the skin, but rather the pigment of the actual skin, which makes them look pregnant. Hope this helps : )
