fishie Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 HI GUESS WHAT!!!! ive officialy managed to breed guppys!!!!!! last night i was watching rattatoi when i notice my guppys was VERY skinny, so i set up a breeding tarp and dropped here in a caught the last of here brood! and i ended up getting -drum role please- 1! yes i manage to get 1 i know i said that mollies where gonna be the first but this one expectantly happen as i got the guppy like 2 days ago!!! so ive got some questions, I heard that if you hard boil an egg and freeze it you can break little bits of the yolk and crumble it up for baby fish food has any one tried this or what would you recommend???

Bettarazzi Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Baby guppies will eat crushed up flake. Just crush the flake into a fine powder and that should be fine. Have a look around the tank, if you've got plants in there, chances are there may be other survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jusdeb Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Premmies.LOL Just happened to be reading this yesterday in a Guppy forum...Hard boil the egg ...remove the yolk ...add a drop or two of tank water to a bit of the yolk and mush it up with your finger...then put a bit on a toothpick or similiar and feed the fry. It goes cloudy in the water (protien soup) which is normal so dont use too much , and use a couple of times a day. Hope this helps and congrats on your babies.

bluebetta Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I just feed crushed flakes to mine and they do fine. Last time I only got 2 fry but the time before I got about 20 so good luck for next time. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasfire Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 congrats on the baby! It's so sweet how you are excited that you 'got' the guppy to breed.... if you work out how to STOP them let us know! You are going to have A LOT of baby guppies on your hands soon. They drop roughly every 3-4 weeks. Good luck with the little survivor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Congratulations on your baby I also just feed mine crushed flake or pellets, they like MWs & live or frozen BBS if you have them on hand too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooshoo Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 yay baby guppies are so cute, and likewise with the other advice given here, crushed up flake is fine. if you want a higher survival rate for other babies dropped make sure you have lots of bushy floating plants for the babies to hide in, very soon you'll have a self-supporting population! congrats! they're just so cute aren't they?
