Guppy Fry Not Becoming Guppy Fish?

[tkarkoulis]

Hello,

I have about 20 guppy fry,

5 of them are form another birth of the same fish (gave birth to only 5).

these 5 are 5 weeks old and they are a wee bit bigger than the other ones, the 2 week ones. I feed them properly, the water temp is "tropical", any ideas why ?

they are 5 *weeks* old and about 2cm long, at best

thanks!

Wiat first you said there 5 weeks and now there 5 months? Im confused. Guppies dont grow very fast. What are feeding them? They grow faster when having a higher temp, and also when feed BBS) Baby Brine Shrimp). I get frozen BBS as its easier to get for me. What are your water stats?

What exactly do you mean with "Guppy Fry Not Becoming Guppy Fish?"- do the fry not look like guppy fry or something? How many fish are in the tank and what types?

Im SORRY i meant 5 weeks

i have 5 that are 5 weeks old, and about 15 that were born 3 weeks after the 5 ones (same mother).

sorry for the spelling error

kribensis12 - i mean they are 5 weeks old and are still very very small. Looks like the 2 week old ones are catching up, they will be same size with the older ones in a bit.

I cant find BBS im afraid, pet shops here sell only guppy flakes, so i finely crush them and give them to the babies.

how often do you feed them and how often do you water change?

how often do you feed them and how often do you water change?

I feed them 3-4 times a day, water change 20% every week.

You need to do more water changes they release a hormone that stops them growing, with fry tank I do 20% ever day or other day when I was ill I didn't do this and you could see they were not growing as quickly.
