Mine are 4 days old now.. What are you feeding yours on ??
I am just feeding them very finely crushed fish flakes, the same food as my adult fish. But I like super duper crush them and feed them only like 1/3 of a pinch. :) what are you feeding them?
 
And thanks guys Im like obsessed with them I cant stop looking at them lol :lol:
 
How far along do you think my guppy, Pandora, is? How much longer does she have and when should I move her? I bought her pregnant so I have no clue. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1393904156.038791.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1393904169.343435.jpg
 
I feed mine on a culture of micro worms .. Crushed flakes.. Some baby brine shrimp and some liquifry.. Just giving them a little variety
 
i personally have found that females drop faster, and easier when left in the main tank with lights off... they go to a hidden corner and drop usually. i then scoop out any babies i can find the next morning and put them in the breeder trap to keep them safe. the stress of being in a tiny box, not to mention being chased and caught with a net, can make a female either hold her fry(had a female hold fry for 3 days and drop as soon as i let her out of the breeder) or abort and reabsorb them. ur better off to just have lots of plants and hiding spots for fry. i actually expecting a female to drop tonight! good luck all!

Yup all you said is correct! I found my guppy fry hidden in the gravel! Goodluck to u 2
 
When my female guppy gave birth to fry, catching them with a little container was easy because you are able to see if you have the fry in it or no.
