[bubble87]

i have a biorb life 60 litre tank which is fully cycled and been running for 3 months now.
i have 3 neon tetras and 4 fancy guppys in there.this morning i have noticed there are some guppy fry swimming in and out of the ceramic media i have in there.here is a pic of my tank http/i937.photobucket.com/albums/ad211/chadley1987/PA290426.jpg


my question is what do i do?
i have no other tank to put them in so they will have to stay in the biorb.

The best thing to do would be get a big bunch of a small leafed plant like cabomba or eloda and put that in there for the fry to hide in. You can leave it floating if you want to as most livebearer fry prefer to stay near the water surface.

Grind up some flake food to powder and let very small quantities of it sink to the bottom for the fry. They would have had a higher chance of survival if you would have had live plants, of course.

But, you have to be careful as, if the fry survive, your tank will become overstocked very quickly and your priority should be the neons over the fry.

I would not worry about changing anything, just be extra careful about vacuuming and keep the flow rate slow.

This is why it is important to research fish before buying, including how to sex them.

i wondnt be doin any more wtaer changes than normal as the fry have been in the same water when in side the parent fish. just make shure you water quailty doesnt get bad. unfortunately u will still have to syphon but watch out for the fry
get some buched plants, this will give a hiding place for fry, and they wont hide in the gravel substate. i think they will survive just as long as as all goes well
