: Is it very common to have simesse twin guppies? I have one myself and was shocked and amazed to see that these two brothers servive. One is a fully formed guppy and is same size as the rest of his peers. Now his brother is quiet small and not fully formed. Hes more in a shape of a ball, kind of like when they are born sometimes. He dose have his colorful fins but no eyes that I can see. From what I have abserved they are joined by the stomich. They would have to be in order for the little one to survive and grow like he dose. They both do have their own intestional track. I was just wondering if this kind of thing is common. I have seen ones that were joined together before but did not survive after birth, but these two are very alive and very much a typical male guppy if ya know what I mean!!
