Guppies :)

If you have read that on my other post i have had a huge female give birth to a crazy amount of fry and she has passed away i have gotten a male tuxedo creme male and a 2 females that are a flame creme colour. anyway i sold some of the fry to my lfs and got 72 euro for all the fry except for 20 as they were the fastest growing healthy guppy fry. anyway there about a month now or a bit more and are already hitting 2 inches but when i was cleaning the tank i slipped and slit my hand as the glass of my fry tank broke, lucky the fry were in the big tank although alot of blood got into my tank i havent read or studied what this may do as i can hardly type as it is. will this be bad effect? ive removed all the water and put fresh stuff in but i do not want to lose these amazing baby guppys.. anything would be great also the creme male and females are not mating but hopefully my fry will survive and help them or encourage them to breed. i bought some new endler (purebred trio) to breed. i know its frowned apon to crossbreed guppies with endlers but if i kept the female endlers away from male guppies and just introduce the male endler into the guppy tank now and again would that be okay ? to like increase colour intensity and ranges of colours?.. thanks

I'm not sure how blood will affect them, but I think it will be ok as long as you clean off all the blood and change all the water. Hope you're alright!

I can't really comment on introducing your endler, though you should just wait awhile for the guppies to settle and possibly start mating. They could be mating and you don't realize it, but instead of the endler I would add another female guppy to see if that will help (or just wait for your fry to grow up).

Good tank filtration and hygene will manage your accident.

No harm in letting them cross and see what evolves, its good to mix the gene pool up a bit IMO.

Thanks guys and im sure their not mating ive had them for about 2 weeks they seem in control of the tank but dont want to have anything to do with each other? ive cleaned the tank again today to make sure its all done and changed the filter sponge and introduced some healthy bacterial organisms to break down any unwanted minerals. thanks again
