Lol, no that's fine! I want to hear more on this topic also. Mine should be 14-19 days old when they get here, so they'll be pretty delicate but also young and hopefully healthy. We'll just have to see how it goes.

no other symptoms they acted normal, happy just woke up to find them floating. my other fish are fine and happy, no ick, they all act normal I cant determine what could have been wrong with them I know they were eating plenty of food

 

[haleystropicalfish]

[haleystropicalfish]

Thanks! And cool avvitar! lol

 

[haleystropicalfish]

The guppies should be here tomarro. Any suggestions on how to best introduce them to their new home and tankmates(all guppies)? I know I have to let the water temps ajust but other then that...

 

[haleystropicalfish]

It's thursday!! Hopefully the guppies will get here today!!! YAY!! Can't wait...

 

[lilfishie]

let us know when they arrive

 

[haleystropicalfish]

They arrived! All 12 are there and alive! 10 just look like very young fry, but there are 2 who are different. One is much larger and has some dark plotches on the tail, and one is thinner and longer, and dark all over. Right now the water temperature is adjusting so I can't get any good pics yet. The guy marked which bags are from which females so I don't ever have to wory about inbreeding. I don't know how to keep all these seperate though. I want them all seperate from the rest of the tank, and within them selfves, I want the two families seperate. Any ideas?

 

[lilfishie]

how many tanks and gal do you have? any dividers handy?

Glad they arrived all good

 

[haleystropicalfish]

I have two tanks; one for the adults, one for the babies. I have 1 tank divider but the wholes are big enough for the babies to ger through easily and it is in use in the adult tank. I have some fine mesh stuff that I could use to make a tank divider (just the right size) but I'm still trying to think of a good frame to use. I tried straws but it floated and there ended up being several wholes between the straws and the net. Have any other ideas? I know it will be hard to keep them all seperate because they're so small, but hopefully there is a way.

 

[lilfishie]

all i can think of at the moment is to get them seperate breeder nets/tanks. are the fry in the fry tank big enough to go in with the adults?

 

[haleystropicalfish]

some of them, but the rest are just to small. I have 1 breeder net that I could use, but that's it. I wish I had another 2 tanks

 

[robertherrington]

Glad you got everything alive and well!

 

[haleystropicalfish]

Thanks, me too! I decided to just let them all out into the tank together and gess what? I had 14 not 12! Sweet!
