I bought a pregnant guppy from the pet store. I put her in a breeder net.
When should I expect babies? How do I care for them? I need help!!!!
And what do I do with X amount of guppies?
BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS! :-)
 
You should expect little babies within 2-3 weeks. The average amount that usually make it are about 25 because the mother may get hungry, or they will just die.
They should be seperated from the rest of the tank and the mother (not always if theres nooks and crannies and lots of hiding places). They can live on finely ground up fish flakes until they are big enough for bigger flakes.
If you dont plan on keeping all of the babies, your local fish store could possibly buy them off of you. But not for a lot. And besides, its there fault... right?
 
Nothing special. You should expect fry within 2 weeks.

If you have no other males, she could still get pregnant because guppies store sperm so you may have a few more batches of fry.

You can crush up fish flakes, and feed them a little more often than the adults.

That's really all there is to it.. you probably don't want a lot of them to survive since they'll soon take over your tank :s

You can let the babies go in the tank, if you want.. if you have lots of hiding spots. Otherwise be sure to take mommy out of the breeder so she doesn't eat hte little ones.
