My Pregnant Guppie Will Not Drop?!

[Chark_ox]

Basically i have bred alot of fish before but stopped for a while and started again about 4 months ago. but i have this one troublesome guppie. shes pregnant and has been ready to drop for about 2 months! no joke! and a month ago she dropped 5 fry! which 4 of surrvived, and last week she dropped another 5 while i was on holiday, but the person who were looking after them while we were away said the electric kept going off, well anyway these fry are also healthy.. but she is still bursting?! any ideas why she is doing this? i am completely lost.

guppies can get pregnant multiple times at once. so, it's possible that she is having fry at spontaneous times because they weren't conceived at the same time

guppies will often have fry constantly, or look skinny one day and huge again the next. if shes stressed she might drop premature fry.

I have 3 females that all look pregnant. Not sure if one dropped and then got full again as one day she was huge next she was skinny and the next day huge again. Maybe I did not get her into a breeder in time to save the fry. Gonna have lots of baby guppies soon though.

thanks for the replies, after a closer look i have noticed that there are 6 fry in the trap.. but i thought i only caught 5 lol, and it turns out a few of them are mollies i just assumed they were all guppies haha.
