last night at 1:15 am my guppy went into labor :D and every thing went smoothly :rofl: well as smoothly as it could have gone (it WAS my first time)
i was able to get abought 10 fry in to the net now what do i do to keep them alive
what is their groth rate??
 
You probably should keep them in the net for a few months until they get bigger, you can feed them fry food or crushed flakes. Congrats!
 
hardly a pinch of crushed flakes. once they get bigger, u might wanna move on to sundried baby shrimp.
 
Hikari First Bites is the best food for guppy fry... as they get older you can wean them off of it and onto finely crushed Hikari Tropical Flakes. This can also be supplemented with Hikari frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. (Yes, I think Hikari is the best brand out there. I feed my fish all Hikari products and they look AMAZING!!!)
 
Finley ground flakes should be fine, feed them little and often, also the water doesn't flow well through a fry net so try to make sure it is kept fresh as the water will get dirty fast with such small ground food and waste.
Good luck. :thumbs:
