gagaforfish Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I found three wee guppy fry (fries? sounds like chips), amongst the mysterious duckweed. (I call it mysterious duckweed, because I have no idea where it came from..) They are so tiny. I wish I had been home the other day to save the others, my dad told me there were about ten, but...The other fish got hungry?! :roll: Do I need to feed them anything special?

Joshlikesfish Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Plants in the tank should feed them, but crush up normal flakes during feedings anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 DW about the lost ones, I'm sure once they get going you'll have millions of fry. Probably wont have to feed the others anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 When referring to newly hatched fish, the word fry is both singular and plural. One fry, two fry, red fry, blue fry. Fries are chips. Feed finely crushed flake (crushed between your fingers is fine enough). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfishybuisness Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 well if you are wantting to breed them as show guppies (like me) u should feed brine shrimp this gets the bodies big which enables them to have larger tails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 well if you are wantting to breed them as show guppies (like me) u should feed brine shrimp this gets the bodies big which enables them to have larger tails I feed decaps brine shrimp eggs and the fry really love them (as do all the fish) and it helps them grow nice and big. When they're older they also crushed flakes and new life as soon as they can manage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 My fry stay back from the larger fish at feeding time so I crush dried flake and dried brine shrimp into some water and then using a dropper I fire it into the back of the tank where they hang out.
