alanco Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thats great! seems like you have nice guppies!! Yea its important to do water changes with fry as they are not as resistant to polluted water. I had a similar problem with my guppies, as the ammonia killed a few (alot) of my guppies. Well, your fry seem pretty brave, I hardly see my fry, but you get one come out for food now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fish are resistant to Ammonia, If ammoina keeps coming back, your filters not cycled, and if theres no filter you should be doing a waterchange or 2 a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
