I am just writing to let you all know...that it took me about twenty tries of raising guppies to finally say...I did it. 
I even gave up on them...so much work, it is hard to raise them and then for them to die from diseases. They are very delicate fishes...compared to the mollies.
But now, I have two adult guppies and a lot of frys.
I have to move them again to a larger tank..but, for now don't have either the funds or the space in my home for that.
They are doing fine...because every morning since the 1month frys were born my schedule for cleaning would be ..... to change half of their water and feed 5x's ( suggested by direction on container) a day and at the end of the day...do a full water change.
The frys are used to me cleaning their water..because when I transfer them to another container to do their cleaning they all form on one side and it is easy for me to scoop them up. I started out with 17 frys and happy to say they are still all with me.
On Christmas eve I had to transfer them into a bigger tank with the adult guppies and get their tank ready for the other frys that were due to come any time from the mommy guppy.
They are eating flakes now, but, still giving them their baby food, once in a while.
On Christmas night..after my whole family departed when the party was over....I went to check on mommy to be and lo and behold she was giving birth.
I am so proud of her..because she did not eat any of her babies...she was cooperating and she made me pick her up and place her in another tank for the rest of her deliveries.
She gave birth to 27 frys and they are so active. When she was done..I transferred her to another small tank and fed her. She had her rest and I did not transfer her until two day later.
Now the frys are doing fine and mommy is back with the other guppies.
I think my Goldfish in the 15 gal tank is feeling jeolous because before when I feed her she would come to my hands and take the food..but lately she doesn't pay attention to me when I go near her tank....lol!
Anyways...just wanted to share my happy moments...thanks for listening...
The food I am giving my frys is 9 in 1 artificial artemia plus immunity from Zoo
