My guppy just had fry How should I take care of them2007-11-24 23:39:20

My guppy just had fry when I was at school. I was able to save 7 of them. I keep them in a 2.5 minibow. Is that big enough? Also, what should I feed them. They stay mostly near the bottom, and when I tried to crush a couple of flakes and feed them, but they probably didn't see them. The Petco manager said that powdered egg is good. What do you guys suggest? Also, I have an otocinclus in the 2.5 my my 6 puny fry, is that ok? One more thing, . My 2.5 minibow came with an undergravel filter, and yesterday I went to buy one of those elite mini submersible filter. Is that an ok filter. I was wondering if I should have the intake thing for the filter near where the water shoots our from the ug filter, or not?

Thanks!

Answers:

The elite filters are good filters. They tend to be fairly strong, but that has it's good and bad sides. I'd try and keep the current, and turbulence in one area. Also if you plan not to run both, be sure that it's just at the surface of the water. (The disruption of the surface will provide aeration.)

make sure they have water plants to hide in , the fish food is fine, that's what we fed ours. don't expect too much from just having 6 fish. u might get lucky and good luck to you.

nothing you need to do, just keep them from being sucked into the filter
