Female Guppies give birth and dies?

How come my female guppies dies after they give birth? It doesn't happen all the time but most of the time I have to get a new female guppie to keep the ratio 2 female guppies to 1 male guppie. I have a 10 gallon tank with only guppies. I clean my tank every two weeks (with 50 % water change) have filter and all that good stuff but what am I doing wrong?Female Guppies give birth and dies?It could be they are too small. female guppies can get pregnant even whe they are too small to survive the birth. Wait until they are big to breed them. Ive have female guppies die due to pregnancy too, it was because they were to small.Female Guppies give birth and dies?I have the same problem. I read that it's because of the stress. and because they are very exhausted from the birth.

Female Guppies give birth and dies?Sometimes the femlaes are actually too young to breed or carry fry.



Also the quality of a guppie will also play a roll in dieing after breeding.
