    Re: Guppies....

    You should separate them as the adult guppies will eat the fries.

    As of the food for the fries, you can try the spirulina powder.

    Re: Guppies....

    You can feed them microworms, BBS, spirulina flakes etc. Anything that can fit in their mouths.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.

    Re: Guppies....

    hehe, i crush flake food into dust form... they loves them...

    I did not separate them as i have a lot of hiding place for them to hide... guppy mum will chase them once in a while though but never see her eat any of them yet...

    You can buy those algae wafers for bottom-feeders and crush them into powder.
    Small is beautiful.

    LFS should have them on shelves. Price wise, should be under 10bucks.

    Re: Guppies....

    I used to feed my guppy fries all sort of foods, when I still have them. I feed them egg yolk paste, daphnia or BBS. As they grow bigger, I occasionally feed them tubi. Most of the time with fine pellet.

    Re: Guppies....

    Forgot to add that I have two batches of fry- the batch fed mainly on live worms with hikari first bites grew faster than those fed mainly on dry food

    If you need any spirulina, do let me know, I can spare you some but you got to crush it up into powder yourself.

    Thank you for the offer SirBest, I don't need spirulina right now since I feed my guppies fries with frozen daphnia.

    Thank you for the generous offer bro sirbest. I thought of feeding my hatch baby brine shrimp with spirulina but now I bought frozen brine shrimp for my fishes.

    Re: Guppies....

    I wonder if guppy fry can be sold to LFS .... in certain fish forums, they seemed to accept it.
    My guppy fry population just increased by 15 a few minutes ago when I went to check .... have now a problem of excessive babies :P

    For the friends of AQ who have excessive guppy fry , what do you normally do with them ?

    I do not mind giving them away to another serious fellow hobbyist but I heard that guppy fry are raised to be fed - poor things!
    sgguppy.com webpage seemed to be hacked
