Guppy Fry !

[-Deano-]

Wooo Just Got My First Bunch Of Guppy Fry Lol. Theres About 20...But They Are Not All 'Normal'. Some Have Came Out Like Siamese Twins. Some Have Two Heads. One Is Even Inside Out It Has A Big Red Thing On Its Chest. Anyway...I Have Put Em All In A Temporary Breeding Net In My Main Tank. I Have Heard That I Should Feed Them BBS, So I Have Put 2 Grown Brine Shrimp In With The Guppy Fry. Will They Breed? The Guppies Aint Ate Them Yet, They Must Think They Are One Of Them Lol. Someone Told Me To Feed Them Crushed Flake Food. Is That Correct? Im Just Feedin Them Liquifry At The Moment. Sorry For All The Questions, Lol, But I Will Appreciate Any Advice

Heres A Pic Of A Few Of Em

Congratz on your new babies!
Some will come out... different
Crushed flake is good. but you can feed Liquifry as well.
As for the breeding trap, you will have to move them once they start growing.

yes they do eat crushed flake food. i crush the flakes with a ruler so it looks like a powder. i have four guppie fry the rest got eaten. the only problem with liquifry is if use to much worms appear.

hi
20 good amount for first batch, feed them on finely crushed flake thats all i do, put some on a spoon and crush it up until its almost powder then its small enough to eat, only feed them with anything of this size, feed 3 times a day but only very small amounts, every 2 days transfer them to a clean bowl that has some tank water in it, then clean out their breedind trap ready for them to go back in, they wont feed for the first 24hours because theyve been living on yolk before they were born, some fish give birth to half formed and deformed fry due to the fact that gups can sometimes have atleast two batches of fry growing inside them at the same time the deformed or half formed are aborted through the delivery of this batch shes just had.

It doesn't have to be powder, just finer than the standard flake size. After a week, they should be able to tackle flakes and tear off the chunks they need to eat.
