hi all...been waiting for wot seems like 4 ever and arha i watched my 1st lot of fry pop out... just caught a glimpse of 1 ...all my ohter fish wouldnt leave mummy guppie alone so unfortunatly i used a bredding net ...i really had decided not to..but she just couldnt get any rest from the male guppies... anyways i have now lost count at 20+ fry and wondered when i should remove mum..its been about an hr an a half since she started but i cant tell if she has finished she is really hiding in the java moss.... when is it suituable to remove mum??
also i have had water in my fry tank 4 2 hrs have had the filter in the big tank 4 a week and have removed the sponge and squeezed into the fry tank, also have put a drop of dechlorinizer in when can they go into the fry tank? regrads

How big is your main tank and how big is the fry tank? I think it's best to just fill the fry tank with water from your main tank.
