New Fry

[cowboy507]

i am new to fish keeping and i decided to buy some guppies for my first fish...yay...
now ive decided that i dont want them anymore, but i also dont want to kill them. i will check with a lfs if they will take them.
but now heres my questions...

How do i feed my fry without overfeeding the whole tank??
all my fish will attack the fry when i feed just them

I dont have a net or anything to keep them in, i just have lots of dense fake plants at the top of the tank.
one of my guppies just had a bunch of fry while i was on vacation. I dont have, nor do i want to set up a fry tank to raise them so i have decided to keep them in my community tank.
my tank is this:
10 US gal
2 female guppy
1 male guppy
9 neons
2 corys

I know that it was a dumb idea to have livebears in such a small tank with others.

How long has your tank been around? Your fry may just be able to eat particles from around the tank. Just keep the water clean, fry are sensitive to that.
Also, corys are happier in a group of 6 or more, .

recently cycled, the tank is less than 3 months old.
so i dont need to feed more than often?

I feed my Molly fry First Bites by Hikari. Basically veryfinely ground flake. I find that the adults (1 male and 1 female) cannot even see it. Lol, they know I dropped food in, but they can't eat it, it's too small.

What are you feeding them now?

If you feed the normal amount to your tank and just crush the last little bit in your finger tips, the fry will eat and grow. If you have a separate tank for the fry, you could do more specialized feeding but the fry will grow without any special attention.

I use frozen baby brine shrimp and guppy baby food (can be found at some LFS). It helps give a vary of diets. Also a piece of zucchini as a treat like once a week to 2 weeks.
