D female guppy was so pregnant the stomach look so full...when i came back after dinner 2hours later, it just died...can this be coz of stress? i have got stones in the tank...(stones only cover 1/4 of the tank,the rest got no stones) for the fry to hide...but the female guppy jz died suddenly..ouch...
and some males just suffer from the tail rotting...then cant swim and died...quite a lot died during that period...

How long has your tank been set up?
Do you have any plants in the tank?
It may be that your tank is still new and the filter has not had a chance to cycle. This would mean that the nitrite and ammonia levels are too high.
Also, if you have no plants in the tank the fish are stressed from the tank of privacy. Add some undemanding plants like cabomba or elodea. This will help.
