In my locality there is no supply of any live food. I feed my guppies Hikari Fancy Guppy for adults and Hikari First Bites for fry. I have observed that the fry start to die once I start feeding them. Maybe I need to change food(not live) for the fry to survive.

I have tried to breed them with similar color partners of other breed. The resulting color was same, but the eyes were black. And this guppy pattern has everything red including eyes.

Over the years, I have kept many types of guppies and successfully bred them. Normally the fry are very healthy and on an average so far 80 percent of the overall fry population have reached the adult stage. I don't know what's so strange about the Full Red Guppies(have attached a picture of...

Under my care only 4 out of 10 guppy fry complete their full life cycle. The rest 6 is the total count of fry that don't survive more than 4 months. On an average 2 guppy fry die every month. Is this normal or the survival should be better ? If taken proper care, how many guppies out of 10...

The tank is 20 gallons approximately.

  But what I have noticed is the algae eaters will eat only those things that are lying at the bottom, and anything that sticks on the vertical walls.   I have not seen these kind of fishes catching anything that is swimming around.

Now, I am looking for a solution for the glass algae.   How about some algae eaters like plecos, chinese algae eaters, otocinclus,....etc...etc   Is there any algae eater fish that doesn't eat daphnia ???

This idea seems interesting to me.     Thank you everybody for the useful ideas.

  I had problems keeping daphnia outside due to increased population of mosquitoes in my premises.   Thats why I stopped keeping daphnia outside.,   I would like to keep them outside, but just want to avoid mosquito larvae.
