I Got 4 Baby Guppies!

[jennakid]

ok,
i have a tank with all my fish in it..
and another tank for all the fry there is going to be.
ages ago.. (you might of read the post that i posted a while ago that my guppy was pregnant)
to this day i still don't think it was pregnant. cos it didnt really have a big tummy!
but a while ago it died.
and that was the only fish i had put in that tank to stay away from the males.
so it died..
then today i saw 4 baby guppies.
they miust of been from that guppy somehow?
this is the first day i have notcied them! can anyone tell me any tips on how to take care of them?
anyway.
they are soooo cute!
i have no idea how old they are.
for people that have short nails.. it's about a fingernail size. or half a fingernail
their defnately guppies.
i have crushed up some flakes into powder..
i gave them a tiny bit..
but i didnt see them eating.. im sure they will eat if their hungry
yeah. so thats all i wanted to say
xoxoxo

Congratulations

Maybe you didn't notice the fry and most of them got eaten; except for the lucky 4.

They would normally have about 20-30 fry, so maybe they are the lucky survivors! I feed my fry 3-4times with crushed flake and they grow v.quickly. (water changes regularly also)

Congrats on the fry! They are easily missed when they are first born, they can be so small.

I'm assuming there must be a decent amount of cover in you're tank for them to hide away in? Anyway, they sure are lucky!

Crushed flake is a pretty good food when they're young.

Hope they grow well for you!

The hardiest/strongest ones usually survive on their own anyway so thats whats happened here
Congratulations on your new arrivals jennakid :

Yo-finally you got your fry-well done-change water regularly (this can often prompt females to birth if they are close) its good for the fry-crushed flake or liquifry no.2 i tend to use for mine. Good luck

Congratulations jennkid, I know you have been trying to get fry for some time now.

 

[jennakid]

Hehe,
thanks everyone.
how much do i feed them crushed up fish food flakes a day?
i don't see them going up to the top of the water much to get the food.
will they eat it when it floats down?
i really hope so.
so how many times a day do you's all think?

 

[jennakid]

i don't want to be underfeeding them when there the only fry i have atm

but i have about 4 pregnant guppies due soon!
can't wait..
