I adopted a female guppy about a week ago who is pregnant right now. I am not sure how long she has been pregnant for, but it looks like she is ready to drop fry any time now.
Are following levels ok for the fry?
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 40
pH: 7.4+
Temperature: 75F
Some aquarium salt in the tank
I have sand substrate in the tank with very few plants and little space to hide. There are also 3 males and 8 two months old fry in the tank. I have a breeding trap in too. I definitely need to separate the new born fry in the tank to avoid them getting eaten. When exactly should I put the female in the breeding trap? I tried keeping her in it this morning and she looked completely stressed.
Please let me know if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks!
Edit: Did a 50% water change to bring down nitrate
