is there any chance

[infant340]

if these are the conditions how long do u think the fry will live?
feed them 5 times a ay with crushed flakes, 3 plants- 2 plastic and 1 live. i will tell u about the ph and stuff later.

what r they kept in? a tank on their own? is it cycled? mine have survived in a breeding net 4 2 weeks now........r u talking about them surviving in a tank with their parents.......
they will survive if what ever they r in is cycled.......it's not hard to keep baby guppies........i had them when i was 10 and they grew up to adults in a junky plastic breeding trap with little ventilation i didn't know how to take care of them then but i have learned now.........good luck

they r gonna be kept in a cycled 5 gallon tank by them selves.

NO NO NO!!! you got it all wrong i was told from specialists from the local Pet CO you feed them 1-2 times a day dont over feed!!!! you should change 10% of water every week, untill their about 1 or 2 months old so they can adapt to water change better whatch for amonia!!!!!!!! depending on how big you tank is and how many fish/ how big fish are depends on plants. If you want them to live keep them in a breeding net till 1 month old then like me i have a 20 gallon i will have6 plastic plants 2 big 4 small and 1 real to put oxegen in tank. then releas them. good luck

 

[infant340]

alot of ppl said at least 3-6 feedings a day

 

[canis_lupus]

i feed mine 3-4 times.......my other ones.....a long time ago i only fed them once

 

[plecoguy]

when my fish have babies, i feed them once a day, nothing special, just flake ground real fine, and i have a great survival rate.

 

[Mollie*fish*lover]

i feed mine 3 times a day! and i am starting to take the top layer of my water out and puting new water in!

What kind of a question is this? Under the correct conditions guppy fry will live not only to adulthood but to the full 12-18months of a guppy.

Feeding 3-4 times a day for fry is the optimum, but remember to feed VERY very little, only as much as they eat in about 3 minutes, you don't want food lieing there rotting. If you feed 5-6 times a day then this is ok but you will have to feed even less as the guppies can only eat a certain amount of food in a day no matter how many times you feed them!!!

 

[MountGuppy]

its probably different for everyone so just see what your guppies like

 

[infant340]

thanks for ur help but one last question, do i need a live plant?

 

[MountGuppy]

its not absouloutly nessasary but helps a ton

It's not often you see the words "Pet Co" and "expert" in the same sentence

Why would ammonia be a problem in a well cycled tank? And how can fry eat enough to grow on only 1-2 feedings a day? I know of no infant animal (well, maybe fur seals, who are only nursed once in 8 days...) who can grow on such infrequent feeding.

Have you actually followed this advice successfully yourself?

 

[infant340]

thanks for ur help i'll be getting some cobra guppies tomorrow.

hmm.. if the guppies have fry.. will the filter suck them in?
