Guppy on 4th batch, ingests eggs/babies

[RedForeman ©®]

Well, after 3 batches of guppies, and no male around after the first batch,
I was wondering how many batches of fry I would get from stored sperm....

I believe the answer to be 3 batches of 45 fry - there was a pregnance of
the 4th, but after 5.5weeks, there's been no babies, and the belly has
shrunk.... I believe she's ingested the eggs... but she's just generally
plump now...

Just an FYI, if anyone cares...

Hey Red, to have the guppies go through thier natrual pregnancy with stored
spream, are you feeding them bloodworms? I understand this will help them
produce fry, even when there is no males around..Thank you..

yeah, they get flakes, FD and frozen bloodworms from birth... but the
bloodworms do help them push them out, I've heard that atleast...

This one particular female gave birth with male present several times, then
I gave her some time off, she had 3 more batches with no males around...
then after the 3rd batch she got pregnant again... but after the 5week mark
and no babies, and she shrunk, I'm assuming she ingested them with no
fry.... or had 'em and ate 'em as quick.... either or, NetMax and I had a
discussion several months back about how many batches she'd have before she
'dried up', and now I'm wondering if she's dry.... More idle curiousity
than anything...

Hey Red, I have a feeder female that after she spent some time with a male
she became pregnant.. (obviously nature called..) then a few monthes later I
feed her for a few days with BW's and she concieved again.. I tried at a
later date and I have had no luck.. I assume she has dried up as she only
had a two day encounter with a male about 6 monthes ago.... Defianantly had
something to do with curiosity though...
