Feed as often as possible, and clean up the uneaten mess. This will ensure that the fry will grow quickly by having a good source of food, but won't die from pollution because of all the waste. With guppy fry, you don't need to be as serious as with eggla Remember, however, that livebearer fry are still small enough to get sucked through most strainers on hang-on-back filters. A sponge filter on fry aquaria is pretty standard, not because they are more efficient, but because they won't suck up the fry. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian. |
