Wild Nut Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I purchased two trios of guppies (bluegrass and albino platinum ribbon fin) from someone several weeks back and have had them living in a 70 litre plastic tub in my rumpus. Sadly, I lost my beautiful albino male not long after he arrived here for reasons unknown. Although my bluegrass male doesn't mind he now has four females to 'harass'. Today when I went to do my daily water change, I noticed some fry swimming around in the moss. Not wanting them to get eaten, I gently siphoned them out and put them in my breeder's net. I have no idea whose fry they are, although as they seem to have dark eyes, I am assuming they are from one of the bluegrass females. There are four of them that I could find, but I don't know if anyone else is hiding in the java moss. I will try and get some video/photos of my guppy tub and guppies tomorrow. Although, I must say it is nice to have fry that will guts down food, even if it isn't moving *lol* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhong89 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 lol... first time guppy spawn is always exciting. Give it a few months and then your tank will be over run by fry...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I remember my first fry... I started with 2 girls and a male. I think I now have 15 Males/Females and 20ish fry. I watched a girl dropping them last night, and was able to save them before they got eaten. Shame mine are mongrel's though. It makes them super harder to get rid of. Congrats and good luck with them! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 If you want another albino keep the two strains seperate, the females will still be holding his sperm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
