How Long?

[puppyjess123]

.............could i keep 2 guppy fry in a breeding net? Would it be longer than a couple of weeks as their is only 2 of them?

If it is your standard sized breeding net, I don't see a problem with keeping them in there until they are large enough to avoid being lunch (a couple of weeks).

yep how old/ big would they have to be to avoid being eaten by

opaline gourmais
zebra danios
neon tetras
albino cories
common plec
albino plec
guppies

3 to 4 weeks, perhaps longer depending on how much you feed them. I still think that they would be fine...

Basically when they are bigger than the mouth of your largest fish.

Ammonia a pee colour? you mean the test out come was yellow? if so thats good.

Test your nitrite.

 

[puppyjess123]

No its not yellow its looks like a pee colour. Nitrates 0.

 

[nosoup4you]

Depends on the type of kit you are using...

 

[puppyjess123]

API freshwater master test kit.

pee is yellow

API freshwater master test kit.

The only time I've seen that color in an API kit was when the aquarium water contained a lot of tannins from wood in the tank causing the normal yellow color to become more golden. As long as it is not greenish in color, I wouldn't be too concerned. You should still check your Nitrtes as 5teady suggested...

Are the"long lines" out of their tails caused by fin nipping or something else such as fin rot?

i have the same kit and yellow for ammonia means 0. if it was 0.25 it would have a very slight greenish-yellow tone.

I put some bog wood in about a month ago. Nitrites? no2 or no3? I don't know put my male swordy picks on them any time they get close to his girlfriends lol. Can't find matt i think he's dead. I give up on guppies.Gonna do a water change today then test later.
