MY guppy had a bunch of fry (i guess). i didnt know she had them, but i found 1 fry and put it into the breeder net, i could only find one. how soon until i feed the fry? what are the chances of my one fry makin it?
 
You should be feeding it from the second day after birth. They are normally born with a small eggsac that they eat off of the first day or so. After that, they need food. Either finely crushed (powdered) flake food, Baby Brine Shrimp (BBS), or "Fry Bites" or some other special fry food from the LFS. BBS can be bought frozen (although I only find it once in a while -_- ) or you can learn how to hatch your own.

Try to feed the little guy 4-5 times a day. If your like me and work, you can't, but do your best. The more food it gets, without overfeeding, the better it will grow.

Your chances are pretty good of raising the one, after all, it was strong enough to run and hide form all the other fish in your tank...... :nod:
