Platy had 4 premature fry today
Well actually my tank is already a bit overstocked as it is but after the summer most of my fish will be going back their original owner and I will be able to add the fry(which will be big enough by then).
If you can get some heavy root feeding floaters they will help with water quality... frogbit and duckweed with some moss is what i have in my gup grow tank...
try getting some plastic storage bins from walmarts and adding heater and filter till they get big enough for tank
I have an undergravel filter,but I don't think there are heaters for 1g tanks are there?
ok so my guppy fry have finally started getting there colors and they are all males except one i believe is female and i traded two for two male they r beautiful!!!!!
So my guppy fry are just over 2 weeks old now! When should I take them out of the net and put into main tank? When should I expect to see colors? Thanks
Rule of thumb for adding them to main tank is; bigger then the mouth of the biggest fish In the tank. My fry are about 3 1/2 to 4 weeks old right now, I could probably put mine in my main tank but I'm going to hold off for a bit. They also started getting most of there color last week. A good average for color is about a month.
Congrats! You should post a pic I them! We would all love to see how they look.
Congrats Frostshine!! We would all love to see some pics as soon as you can!
Wyatt: did this all happen in your main tank? Sorry to hear about the loss.
Yes, I only had one tank at the time and the fish was pregnant when I got it and I didn't know it. My other Platy is pregnant too, I'm gonna buy a net to separate the fry from the filter. Now I have a 20 gallon tank set up and I still have my old 5 gallon tank too. What would you suggest I do? Should I move the pregnant Platy to the small tank or what? BTW, the Platy gave birth in the night and I didn't have the chance to turn off the filter and when I woke up I found the fry in the filter ;(
