Guppies sometimes defecate a lot before they die. But not all females will defecate a lot before giving birth to small fish. It may also be due to eating too much food. If the guppy in a large number of defecation, the belly drum is very large, the anus is very prominent, and the color of the fetal spot has become dark, it represents that the guppy is about to give birth.
When the guppies are about to give birth, the breeder can fish out the female fish that is about to give birth and isolate it for delivery. Adjust the water temperature in the tank where the mother fish is located to about 26 degrees to keep the water clean and provide food in time. In this way, it can help the mother fish to produce.
Sometimes the guppy somersaults up and down before giving birth to small fish. The main reason is that the female fish want to have a safe production environment in order to drive away the male fish. At this time, the breeder should fish out the mother fish to be produced, do not let it be frightened, waiting for production. Sometimes it's up and down because there's a problem with the water quality, there are parasites in the water, the fish are infected with parasites. At this time, the breeder can soak the sick fish with potassium permanganate for 5 minutes, and put oxytetracycline in the original tank to diminish inflammation and sterilize. Three days later, the water is changed and the patient is slowly nursed back to health.
