New Guppy Babies

[jonny-5]

Hi Ppl,Just thought i would say a few things cos im all excited ,Doing my weekly maintenance on my tank i found a few fry which can only be guppies due to the tank being guppys only! Anyways got down to my cleaning and noticed a few fry darting around in the plants at the back of the tank so i carefully syphoned my tank water into my bucket and put my fry from the bucket into a net breeder,put in a little Tetramin Crushed baby food and to my surprise it was gone in approx 2 mins,so added a little more,in the meantime i was carrying on with my cleaning duties,i opened the filterbox and there was around another 20 fry in there so yes i also put them in my net breeder,i then tryed to carry on again vacuuming my gravel and out of a few more plants came prob another 10-15 fry so i put in more crushed flake and this again is gone in 2-3 mins.Im just shocked that they can manage to eat flake from this early age(they really cannot be more than a day or 2 old).Last time i found live bearer fry i wasted a load of dosh on liquifry when they could of had flake .Just wondered if anyone else has noticed this with Guppy fry?

seems like theres no point in buying Liquifry food then which isnt cheap either yes i am tight fisted even though its only a few quid......but better in my pocket

lol so theres no need to buy liquifier then.
good luck with your fry and lets hope i have a bit of luck tomorow with my new male
and female guppys.
do you think they will breed?

 

[karen84]

will just update my post,just moved all my fry to a 5 gallon tank with a fluval 1 filter,just till there big enough to go in my 4ft tank but they are all doing well and seem more active than they were in my net breeder,but i would expect they would be more active in there anyhow!! i feed them small amounts of crushed flake 3-5 times a day and just stated feeding some very small amounts of algae tablets to the bigger oneswhich are 5 weeks old now,they love it
