Pregnant fish die, small fish can live, but this situation only refers to oviparous fish, for ovoviviparous fish is not applicable. Oviparous fish lay their eggs, and the eggs will hatch into small fish by themselves, which has nothing to do with the life and death of the mother fish. Ovoviviparous fish need to hatch small fish in the belly of the mother fish, and if the mother fish dies, the young fish will also die due to lack of oxygen. If pregnant fish have difficulty giving birth, the breeder can squeeze their abdomen with his hand to help them give birth.
Can a small fish live
if a
pregnant fish dies? There are many kinds of fish in nature, but they mainly reproduce through two ways, one is oviparous, the other is ovoviviparous. If it is an oviparous fish, the death of the parent fish has no effect on the young fish. This is mainly because the young of oviparous fish are hatched by themselves under suitable conditions. This is not the case with ovoviviparous fish, which hatch into young fish in the belly of the mother fish before giving birth. If the mother fish dies on the eve of production, the young fish have no source of oxygen and nutrients, and after a period of time, they will die. If the young fish have been hatched, the death of the parent fish will not affect them, regardless of the way of reproduction.
Guppies are easily frightened during the breeding season. If they are found to have dystocia, first provide them with a quiet and dark environment to wait for them to give birth. If they are found to be difficult to produce, they need to be artificially assisted in their production. At this time, you need to squeeze their stomachs slowly from top to bottom with your hands. When squeezing, you should be careful not to use too much force, otherwise it will hurt the young fish. When it is found that the belly of the female fish has become flat, it means that the production has been completed.
