Hey there!
You see, this is the first time I've actually cared for fish and they've lived long enough to have babies. I noticed them yesterday, I was so excited but then I feared about their safety. I had no kind of fry net that I keep hearing about, my tank is a 5 gallon and I have 2 males (Munchie and Speck) and 2 females (BK and Pebbles). Turned out after reading on the internet, BK was the one who was the mother and I didn't know that guppis didn't lay eggs.
By that time there were about five babies in the big tank and we had moved all the adults in a fish bowl with no filter (all I had). Then when I found out that there were more babies in the bowl I moved BK back into the tank until I thought she was done having babies. So I had little fry in the tank and in the bowl. I took the time to move all the babies into the bowl and the adults back in their tank.
Now what? I'm scared that BK is under a lot of stress because Speck won't stop biting at her. He seems to always bite at her belly. Should I move her to my sisters tank (she had a smaller one with 2 males) or should I move Speck?
What about the babies? I don't have a filter so I just try to water change and clean out any left over food. I read about grinding up the flakes and I hope it's working. I'm just worried that something is going to bad is going to happen if I don't do something right?
I hope I get lots of advice, thanks for all your help in advance.
I'm also new here so.... hi!
