since shes really big, im going to let her off on her own.

water changes: daily
diet: tropical fish flakes. mashed lettuce leaf.
lighting: minimal.
temperature: 72F

day one........

jsut make sure theres loadddddddddds of fine plants on the bottom of the tank, and you will have thousands of fry survive in no time good luck.

thanks.

Good luck from me too Post pics of the fry,okay?

yup. i might put her back in the tank and make a breeder. im too nice to put a fish in a bowl!

cant do it. released the prego back into the tank. cant wait her suffer. :[ :[

Actually, since guppy babies (unlike other livebearers) head for the top of the tank, you will really need floating plants, but just in case (as you may get what I call an "oddball" spawn) you might get the weaker ones heading for the bottom, so it is best to get both floating and normal, bottom dwelling plants. The floating plants will also help diffuse the light, which will mean less stress for the female.
You may need to adjust your temperature, between 79-82F is best for a pregnant guppy as the weakest of the fry are also more likely to survive in a higher temp.

This is the first time i went over to this part of the forum lol Goodluck Raith...

i have over 100 guppies in the tank now. 0_0

Wow, congrats. Mine just had more but they were all eaten... which is ok with me cause the last time she had babies they all were deformed.

yeah if mine were deformed ive got to get rid of them. theres just too many right now, im just leaving them there hehe. xD!

How are your fry doing?

My other female is laying more right now, I cant watch though cause I wanna save them all and I know I cant

i had so many i couldnt count. and theyre doing good, plenty of food + some j. moss = the adults dont bother them at all. plus, they have worms to harass. :]

Good luck, I think after my batch of about 30 fry grow up im going to
give them away to the pet store and maybe keep a few females.

all are still healthy haha. 5 of my males are blooming now, their tails are becoming longer and longer....
