Guppy And Molly Fry

[TheSims3Dude]

Hey y'all!

So, most of you know about my 4 endlers pregnant, but I also have the fry from BMJ (Big Mama Jr.) Sadly, you know that she passed away, but her fry are doing extremely well! Their about 1 1/2 months old now! Born on August 31st, 2009, They are starting to get black colorings on them, (mostly dots) and their fins are going black, they look really neat! I also have 1 1/2 week old guppy fry, from a guppy that I bought 2 weeks ago, sadly I had an outbreak in my tank, (not the fry tank, my community tank) and 8 fish died, including my guppy, (in my fry tank, out of 14 fry, I have 4 left, they are about double their size in just little less than two weeks!) I feed them 4-6 times a day as well as my molly fry, they just grow so fast and their so cute! ^^
Anyways, just a 'lil update how my fishies are doing,


EDIT:
The outbreak stopped finally and I have 13 fish left,
and sorry I can't post pics as I don't have a camera, I hope to get one for Christmas,
so we shall wait and see,.
Cheers!
I also have a endler fry that looks to be a couple days old, he's half the size of my guppy fry,

Sorry to hear you have lost so many fish,what did you have an outbreak of?

Honestly, I've got no clue, they just kept dying
it's better now, the last 2 days no casualties, so s'all good ^^

Sorry about your fish loss

How big are the fry at 1.5 weeks? I just brought home a single little fry and it's about 1/3-1/2" long and I'm trying to determine it's age. I guess I should go feed him/her.

I forget if I asked this, but how often should I clean the fry tank? I usually clean 50% once-twice a week,.. is that enough?

When trying to grow out young livebearer fry, more water changes are better. You need to balance how much water you are willing to change with how fast you want them to grow.

Ok, it seems to be working out well so far, the fry are even bigger just within a couple days, so I think I'll just stick to it if it's working
