I Won.....

Today I set up my fry tank I think I wore my girlfriend down (to let me set it up) just in time as those poor little guys had grown quite a lot. They seem to be settling in to their new home pretty well, and still no casualties. I mean I knew they were meant to be easy to bread to the point of being unavoidable, but not to have any casualties??

I haven't had a casualty (To the best of my knowledge) in all my years of raising Guppy fry, so I don't think a non-casualty set is THAT rare. Maybe moreso nowadays though, with all the inbreeding. It definitely seems like you're taking good care of them.

Good luck with the new tank. Did you cycle it?

Iv kept guppy fry a while, userally only lose some to being eatin, or some awful mistake on my part, but iv never lost any throgh disease, or transport, very hardy.

No I cloned it from my main tank, I always keep a smallish internal filter running in the main tank.
You never know when your gonna need it
Plus I used water from the main tank and i modded the filter so none of the fry would get sucked up into it

Okay, awesome. That's a common mistake, but you're way ahead of the crowd!

i read a lot of posts and try to take it on board the advice that is given, I probably spend more time researching fishy topics than I do studying for my chosen degree (fish are more fun)
