My guppy had few fry but still looks pregnant. Is this normal?

Question

Hello, recently my guppy gave birth to only 2 fry yesterday afternoon. She had no more fry but still looks extremely pregnant. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | neutered | 7 years and 8 months old | 40 lbs

In most normal circumstances, the guppy birthing process takes between two and six hours, but if the mother is having difficulty, it can take up to 12 hours for all the fry to be delivered. In some cases, the mother will deliver a few fry and then stop the delivery only to resume in a few days. So, give her a bit more time and try to not stress her out.
