What Does Guppy Fry Need In Its Vessel?

[rahina]

I have just had a female guppy who gave birth to some fry. I am keeping the fry in a rounded vessel with a live plant, some sea shells and a tube pumping air. is that enough for them? I change part of the water daily is that enough or should I have a filter . my vessel is not that big. please help.

one more questions please How many times do the fry need to eat daily?

a filter would be best and they need to eat about three times a day (thats how often i feed mine and they are fine) if you can get them a tank it would be much better for them

hi
a teeny filter would be best but dont just buy one & plonk it in as the tank will go through a cycle & prob kill the babies you'd need a piece of mature filter media ( you could prob snip a bit off your main tanks filter media)
your water changes will help though & i usually feed fry small amounts 4-5 times daily powdered normal fish flake will do just fine if you dont have access to anything else whilst theyre teeny.
good luck
