So I just made a diy guppy fry box I put holes in the bottom then put mesh over it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do with it like do I have to vacuum it and stuff like that
 
You can use a turkey baster to clean the container if there's mess in the bottom. What fish are in the adult tank? If it's only adult guppies etc, then once the fry are 2-3 weeks old, they're usually big enough to avoid being eaten and can go back in the main tank to grow out. Make sure to have a load of plant matter, whether real or fake, for them to hide in and they'll feel safer.
 
Yeah the plants I have is heaps of wisteria heaps of Java moss and other plants yea i have heaps of guppy fry in 33 gal and I was just wanting to try out the breeder box I’ll probably let them out in a week so they are big enough to get the bits of algae wafers flying up from the bristlnsoe

Would love to see photos, if you have any to share! :D I used to breed guppies/mollies/platies, and stopped after a few years since finding homes for all the fry was getting to be too much when my LFS closed down. Sometimes, I miss it! So I enjoy it vicariously through other people here and seeing their fish and fry, which is fun! But I don't have to personally home tons of fry anymore ;):lol:

ther are some of the bristlenose and the guppy in the box can’t really see well but I got about 50 more guppy fry in the tank but since they just dropped some more fry I wanted to try putting some in a fry box I’ll get more photos of the tank tommorow
 
Oh cool! You bred the bristlenose too?? Nice! I can see the tiny guppy fry! I love when they start getting their colours, it's always fun to see how they turn out!
