Office people seem to think they're cute  .^_^  |

You might also check inside your filter and your pail of water after a gravel vac to ensure you didn't suck any up. If you didn't want to get fry food you could also use a tiny bit of boiled egg yolk for food but watch out as it can foul the water easily. ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished. |

I crush it into a fine powder, then I feed it with a toothpick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003 | Thanks everyone, figured guppies were easy enough and that they'd be willing to go with most everything, I'm a bit worried as they'll be left alone all weekend, possible that the older ones might get hungry  guess I'll need to get more breeding nets if I'm planning on populating a tank with these guys.How early can you tell genders and how specifically do you tell, other than the long tail business . And do males have little red spots on their tummies? I bought 3 fancy males and I'm pretty sure every one of them seem to have red spots (was worried it was septicemia). ^_^ |
