Wittle bitty guppy babies!

I noticed one of my guppies darting a bit at the hiding area I set up at the top corner of my tank, and upon closer inspection: Babies!

Congrats!

Hikari First Bites I really like for feeding infants

Thanks. I don't have the money to support another tank to raise the babies on their own, so I've set up a tangled mess of java moss floating on old plastic plants for them to mess around in. But they are so small its tough to even see if they are fitting even finely ground flakes in their mouths. I'll check out those hikari first bites when I go out to get the stuff for putting diy co2 in my tanks tomorrow.

Just leave the fry where they're at. I have a huge water sprite plant that my fry hide in, much like yours are doing in the picture. I'm sure I lose a few to the parents, but I started with four guppies and I've probably got about a hundred now, so I think I can afford it.
