Went home today for lunch and my guppy finally had her fry. I had her in a fry trap, and there was about 2-30 little buggers in the bottom. It still looked like she had some in her, so I emptied the fry into a fry net. I then put the female back in the trap. Within 5 minutes she was dropping again. There where 2 more in there before I left.
Is it easy to raise these fry? I have never tryed raising these fish. I am just raising them for feeder fish, but it still is exciting to watch mother nature. I put in some fry food that I had from the fish store. It is real fine like a powder. How long will it take for these fish to mature? Thanks
 
Fry are pretty easy to raise. You just have to feed them often. Several small feedings throughout the day. I like to keep my tanks around 80 for fry. Some grow fast and others seem like they dont grow at all. But if your just going to turn them into feeder fish then it shouldnt be too long it depends on how big of a meal you want i guess :)
