New Tank

[Chris.d514]

Hey Chris. Have you ever done the nitrate test on your tap water, before it ever gets into your tank? That would be a good piece of data to have to help troubleshoot this. If you run the test on your tapwater please post it up here.

No nitrates in tap water.

Woke up this morning to fry swimming around my daughters tank. Not sure if they are guppy, endler or a hybrid but they have a yellow tint some in leaning guppy or hybrid. We were able to get 8 into a breeder net so far.

Nice!!

What do I feed these?

[mnemenoi]

Powdered flake food, just take a tiny pinch in your fingers and grind it between them, powdering it up and they'll snap it up in no time. Younger fish appreciate eating 2-3 times a day, so just a tiny amount that they'll eat and regular feeding will have them growing sooner and larger quickly.

They look great, congrats on the new additions and I bet your daughter is stoked!!!!

[Chris.d514]

Yeah she was and me and holly are scratching our heads trying to figure out where they came from. I got your message right after I went to petsmart and got some hikari first bites.

[mnemenoi]

First Bites are far better and will have them growing quicker, I am just lazy and use flake. Guppies usually have a gestation of 39-40 days and can store up sperm so she is likely already pregnant again. Once they get over 2 weeks old and double in size they can be added back into the parents tanks with no issues. The females are the ones who will likely eat them, so if they are bigger ten her mouth you should be fine.

[Chris.d514]

Awesome cause one of the endlers is double the size of the other so pretty sure she's pregnant. Would a 1 gallon betta tank with air stone be good for fry?

[Chris.d514]

Got a 29g to replace the 14 is there any way to speed cycle the tank with out buying an extra filter I plan to use the ac30 I have now for it but do I need to cycle the rest before I move things over?
