Regular Member jamisskat Posted August 30, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2008 My daughters Guppy gave birth and over the past few weeks I've noticed a weird growth growing on the belly of this fry.. the fry is about 4 weeks old and that growth is another fry..You can see him moving his pecs and it poops You can clearly see 2 eyes and what seems to be somewhat of a tail..I'm just totally shocked but not surprised because humans have been known to be attached and other animals..I've just never seen it on a fish..Any Ideas on what to do? I'm not up to culling if it isn't needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it would be nearly impossible, but you have to try for a picture! Yea, it would be hard on my cam to get a good shot.. The upper sibling is a little over 1/4 inch..I will take a pic this weekend and see if I can get a good focus.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chrissy_Bee Posted August 30, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2008 Wow that is weird! Hopefully it will survive to adulthood, it'd be a one of a kind fish for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member arabpaso Posted August 30, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2008 Does it look kinda like this?--- Found that pic on another forum awhile ago--not my picture. I kept it for reference since I have some guppies now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member balashark Posted August 31, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 31, 2008 That's crazy. I guess conjoined multiples occur in lots of species, so why not fish, but its still kinda neat. Oh, and congrats on the fry, especially that special one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
