guppy fry keep dying

[wrs]

i have 11 or 12 babys left. theyre in a breeder net thing and i dont think they can get out. i just found another 1 dead today. theyre really cute and theyre only like 2weeks old and theyre getting big already and want them! what should i do with them. i dont know if thats what happens to them. my other fish are doing good now that i got that bad fish out. and i feed them, and they dont eat though untill the food goes to the bottem of the breeder. i was thinking of putting them in a mini tank with a filter, how much do yall think it would cost for that? and cant they get sucked up the filter? if i was 2 do that i would have 2 put a stocking thing over it right?

it all depends on the filter you want to get.sponge or undergravel filter are great for fry tanks.

how much would one of those cost?

thats odd cause none of mine died and all i do is feed them crushed up forzen baby brine shrimp 3 times a day and none of them died

hmm they could be really sensitive to the water perimeters in that tank.have you dont an amonia, nitrite or nitrate test lately? also its very cheap to create a fry tank, I just created one last week for my mollie fry. a 10 gallon tank without a top is around $9, the heater was $14, the penplax sponge filter was $11, and food was free since I already had it lol..just make sure you have the sponge filter acclimated in the tank a few days before you add the fry, and that the perimeters are stable. then you should do a 10-25% water change everday as they are messy and the amonia gets up there.

well i bought a little tank for them, just 1 gallon, but when they get older and move out ill be using it 4 a betta. my mom wouldnt let me get a 10 gallon one. and i just had the water tested because it turned all yellow and cloudy but all the tests came out good.
