guppy giving birth

[norbie]

sorry to put this in emergencies i just need to know what to do!

she started giving birth this morning and i put her in a floating tank after she'd had a couple babies.

i caught alll the babies too and put them in the little tank, she is separated from them.

there are 11 babies in the little tank, and there havent been any more since 4 hours ago.

should i leave her in the small tank or let her go back to the whole tank again?

do you think 11 is all she will have? she still has a black area round her bum

Put her back in the main tank, she deserves it, she will be exhausted and we don't want her to be streesed as well, congrats on the fry.

thanks i've put her back now - do you think she will have any more?

any tips on keeping the fry in the floating tank? i've seen that i should change the water when i can. i have proper food for fry, how often should i feed it?

That's the problem you have to feed them 4 to 5 small meals aday and it soon messes the water up, so change it at least once or twice aday, catch the fry with a net in the tank if she has anymore, good luck.
