I bought a female guppy from the lfs, so the females would out number the males in my tank, and while I was acclimating the female she started having babies. I've never had baby fish before so I don't know what to do with these little guys. What do I feed them? Should I get a baby net and put...

So I think my cycling is done. From Jan 20 -23 my ammonia has been zero. My nitrites on the 20 & 21 were 1, yesterday .25 and today 0 nitrites. I tested my pH and nitrates, pH is 8.0 and my nitrates are around 20. Do these numbers mean I'm finally done and can add fish?

I finally found ammonia in a bottle, the only thing is it says it has a lemon sent. Is it still ok to use? It he name of it is western family ammonia cleaner with lemon sent. It contains 2-3% ammonia
