    can i mix the fries from 2 different female guppies together?

    Female A gave birth to 13 fries yesterday...
    Female B gave birth to 13 fries today...

    my dad was like saying mix them up...
    i dunno if i should do it...

    am i correct to seperate the female from the male right after the female has finish giving birth?
    i seperated Female A from the male yesterday...
    this morning female A pass away...
    will that be a possible reason y female A die?

    If they are from the same species/type, then it's okay to put them in the same tank.

    As for the loss of the female, we don't have enough informtation to tell you what went wrong. Perhaps you can give us more detils, like how you house that female and was there any filtration? etc etc.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    there's no filtration...
    only a small tank with a pump...
    and i seperates the male and females using a seperator(is that wat they call it?)...

    i bought my guppies on tuesday... 1 male 2 females...
    i seperated them straight away...the only time they were together is the time when i'm on my way home...
    wednesday Female A gave birth oledi...wednesday nite,my dad placed Female B with the Male... Thursday morning, female B gave birth oledi...

    so now i dun even know who is the father of the fries of female A...
    as for fries of female B, i dunno whether the father is my male or is it the sperms stored in female B itself...

    thats y i dare not mix those fries up...

    Whilst I don't really have a problem understanding you, you might want to consider using spell check in Microsoft word before posting.

    Judging from what you said, the females were probably impregnated in the tanks where you bought the fish. This being the case, it does not make sense to separate the fries into 2 different batch.

    Fishes need filtration, putting a air stone in the tank alone won't work. Trying getting a cheap sponge filter and if you can put some plants inside. If you have floating plants like hornwort, it also serves as a hiding place for your guppy fries.

    Have fun with your new guppies!

    sad...
    Female B has just passed away...
    both my Females are dead...
    both die just 10+ hours after giving birth...
    why does this happen?
    is it wrong to seperate the females from the male?
    and also away from the fries after they gave birth?
    both my females die...

    now i'm left with 25 fries and 1 male...

    maybe because u stressed the female too much when she is about to give birth...its ok to keep guppies without aeration just like i do...

    i have 25 1month old fries and 34+ babies which are 2 weeks old... growing healthily without aeration... when the female stomach is extremely big ,seperate it in another container and once it gives birth put back the female with the male... most probably your female has been fetilized by another male at the shop,,, if those u buy are not pure strain ... then i think u can just keep for fun!
    If u are Out to Describe the TRUTH, Leave elegance to the tailor
