    Hi to all,

    I have a nano tank in my office which has a nana plant and shrimps.

    I added 2 male and 3 female guppies few mths ago but i think about 1mth ago (not exactly sure when), 1 of the female died and both male also died by jumping out of the tank.

    Only 2 females were left.

    What is strange is that 1 of the female managed to give birth to babies twice since the male guppies died. The most recent case happened 2 days ago whereby 6 young guppies were born.

    How is it possible that the female guppy gets fertilised? Anyone has the answer?

    Guppies have the ability to store sperm, so the females can give birth many times. It can hold for around 3 months.
