Guppy fry!!

[Pandicorn]

Hello everyone, my friend recently gave me some guppy fry, and I have no idea how to raise them! I have 9, and I am currently keeping them in a plastic container. I have a plastic plant inside, and no heater or filter. Can I keep them in the community tank,with my 4 tetras and danio, or should I just keep them in the container? Help! The paper towels are underneath the bucket, not inside

I have ordered a breeder box, but what should I do in the meantime?

 

[Kristie_denine]

Just keep them well fed and at a good temperature cuties.

Can I keep them in there for a few days?

 

[Pandicorn]

Anyone? I need to know if 72 f ish is a good temp

I have mine at 75f in a 12L tank... I'm not sure what the ideal is but mine are growing pretty good. They will need cleaning quite regularly and feeding quite often., what are you feeding them ??

 

[Pandicorn]

I'm feeding them crushed flakes at the moment, my "first bites" are arriving soon. I'm planing on feeding them a mixture of flakes, tiny amounts of egg yolk, and first bites

 

[Pandicorn]

That's where I am currently keeping them.

As long as they get regular feeding and are kept warm they should grow really well

Thanks!!!

I have slightly acidic water (6.3ish) do I need to raise this, and if so how??

 

[Pandicorn]

Also, does the plastic plant (from my old tank), have algae on it for them to nibble on?

 

[leannaby]

As far as I know there not algae eater.. Try crushed flake food or get some liquifry for them

Breeding box came, YAY! They are now swimming happily in my 10 gallon tank! ^_^

 

[leannaby]

Yay mine are 3 weeks now and colours starting to show

 

[uelissa]

Post a pick of them with colors!

 

[leannaby]

Here they are.. Can just make it out on the pic

 

[Pandicorn]

Nice! Mine are about 2 weeks old. Still plain and beige x(

 

[leannaby]

Don't know whether it's because they are having a varied diet that has helped with the colours coming out sooner

I've just sat and watched my other female have her fry and scooping them as she's having them.. Over 20 so far
