my guppy is giving birth right now and let me tell u the struggle of finding these tiny fry in between gravel 😐 never again lol but I'm excited to see them grow into their colors
Lool same I spent ages trying to net them out it’s so hard to see them in the gravel. They’re so clever as well as soon as they came out they went and hid straight away and were staying still on the plants for ages playing dead
Michael thanks my two females have given birth i had a tank on the side of my tank but the net had too the shop gave me a little bottle where when you turn it upside down little drops of yellowish liquid goes to the bottom of the netting and my adult fish suck it out of the little tank through the netting and my fry miss out i am going to a different place to get this moss you told me about so thank you ever so much keep it up you are brilliant.
Hey Mike watched all your videos every fry-friday and you and others made me love guppies I have 2- 20 longs and just 2 girls in 1 and 3 boys in the other I also have 2 -10 gal with 9 fry and 7 fry all newborn from one of the females ( who was suppose to be virgin) I didn't trip out I had watched all your videos like months ago so its cool. I wanted my own fry my boy are supercute well I probably make my own channel with this whole experience but your really great at explaining without being boring so Thanks didn't even know I could do this Thanks again.
There are few options available for the aquarium hobbyists in our area. I found some probiotic flake food in the clearance bin that was crushed into oblivion. Works for my guppy fry till we can get something shipped in. I also tried rice flake baby cereal when they got tired of the flakes. I ordered some algae tablets to try out. The biggest fry was in the HOB breeder box but he jumped into the main tank to mingle with the adults. We call him Ninja because he's fearless and skilled at evasion.
I live in the Pacific northwest. They built a tiny Petco in our town, just enough to put the local pet and fish stores out of business, here, and the ones the next town over. Most areas are farms, orchards and forest, unless you are able to drive 2 and a half hours to a real city, online shopping is the best option.
Hey Michael! I’m new to the hobby and I have been enjoying your videos. Nice and simple often with a bit of humor. Anyway just wanted to encourage you bro. Keep up the good work.
I just had my dalmatian molly fry and they are doing well on their seperate tank and im doing your method your feeding them it works i see little baby fish poop so i know that they are eating it
Good video for any fry Michael - I'm growing out several dozen swordtails. I can't hatch enough baby brine shrimp so I augment with frozen baby brine - fry get spoiled. I also crush flake food, preferring Omega One which I also use for adults. I recently introduced some NLS Optimum which the fish seem to love. Tip: For faster, better growth, I feed fry roughly every two hours.
I can't believe you gave away all of the secrets!!! I also mix up some decaps bbs eggs and the finest size of golden pearls and feed that to the fry and adults when the brine shrimp hatchout for that day is garbagey, which is a technical term.
My son uses protein shakes, chocolate flavoured. I just crumble flake, plus banana worms and baby brine shrimp. Works - if daddy doesn’t get them first!
Good information! I run both sponges and HOBs with pre-intake filters. We have short power outages a lot in this area, and my Fluvals usually don't reboot. This way I'm covered. My fry BNPs use their two sponge filters like cafeteria lunch lines, always looking and nibbling. Thanks Mike for this video!
I have an undersized HOB on my breeding tank. It does have a sponge on the intake but I'm finding the fry avoid the whole thing cuz they can't handle the Overflow to get to it to begin with. I could raise the waterline which might allow the fry to get to the sponge. But then I would have to adjust the two breeding cages in the tank. I think I will just leave it alone the system's not broke so why fix it?
well that was a great vid i breed live beares, sowrds, platies and guppies i live in the carribean and i dont use heaters .I have my swords and platies in a 400 gallon tub with some plecos and lots of plants and when they drop fry they come to the surface and i take them out and put them in a 40 gallon with plants a sponge fitler and lights /with the guppies i do the same thanks if u read this michael i love what u are doing on your channel keep it up
I have a 20 gallon aquarium with 3 adult guppies and quite a few baby guppies. I have a separate 5-gallon tank that I want to use to grow a few of the fry at a time. Currently, I have 4 female fry in the 5 gallon. Is that a good ratio for growing them?
Hey Amazing Timing As My First Guppy Just Began Having Fry About 2 Hours Ago. I Knew Last Few Days She Was VERY Close 2 Giving Birth Cuz Of How She Looked & Was Acting . Its Very Hard 2 Count The Fry As So VERY Tiny & LOTS Of Plants & Hiding Places & + Theyre So Dang Fast WoW 😳. I had about 6 Very Preggy Mamas In Maternity Guppy Tank &!When I Seen First 10 Fry Swimming Around The Mama Was Hiding In the 1 corner Giving BIRTH & The Other Preggys Were Chasing The New Fry TRYING 2 Snack On Them 😫😳👎👎😢 So Good Thing I Had Extra 10 gal Tank Setup & Cycled & Ready So I Put All Preggy Mamas In There 2 Protect New Frt. its Now Been 1-2 More Hours &!Mama is Still Hiding In Her Fav Birthing Tank Corner & She Still Has HUGE Belly &+ A Dark Gravid Spot. How Do I TELL WHEN Mama GUPPY Is DONE Having Her Fry ??? Even She Triesb2 Eat Her Own Fry & IF I KNEW 4 SURE She was ALL DONE Giving BITH Then Id Put her Back In My Lrg Community Tank With The Males & NOT So Very Pregnant Looking Gals. How Long Can Guppy Birth Last ??? Signs When Its ALL DONE & OVER ???New Sub Here Thanks I just Luv Your Videos 😊👍👍😊🇨🇦
Hey Michael. I'm obsessed with your videos! Quick question... I have about 20 fry that I separated from the adults in one of those breeder boxes. I was feed them First Bite fry food and hatched baby brine shrimp. How big of a tank do you suggest for raising fry? Thanks for all that you do!!
I raise fry in a 10 or 20. You can put them in a tank, say a 20 because that will be there eventual home, but only fill it half way so they have an easier time finding food.
What size grow out tank should I use? I currently have around 50 newborn fry in a 10 gallon grow out tank but as they grow I think I might have to get a bigger tank. Not sure what size.
Thank you for sharing. Love your videos. Can you explain how often u feed guppy fry daily and how often u change water and amounts? Do u have a stocking density for optimal growth development of fry? Also do u have knowledge or know of someone or forum or group who can share guppy genetics and crossing of different colors and types? Thank you again and keep up video logs and sharing your experiences. God Bless.👍
Hey Micheal ….how often to change the water in the fry tank ? Also how often do you feed the fry? My fry’s make the water very dirty and it’s so hectic to change water everyday …. Plz give ur valuable advice
How long does it take you for you to start determining the sex of your Guppies? I've had my fry a few weeks and I'm not sure I can tell, male from female.
usually what i do is i have little like lay tank things and i take out the pregant guppys and put one momma in each tank and when the mother is fully done giving birth i put her back in the regular tank and when the baby guppies get big enough i let them go into the regular tank. is that ok?
@Michael’s fish room would setting up a separate tank work, and what’s a good size if so? Also if I did would I need an air pump if I put aquatic plants in it? (Sorry for all the questions I was going unprepared as I was told all the guppies I got were male. Somehow I ended up with 4 males and a female)
my babies guppy is one month old now and they are big , some start to have beautiful colours , but they still eat baby brine shrimps and cant eat adults food yet , so when i can start to feed them adults food ? thank you
Michael's Fish Room im from the philippines michael right now its really hot in hear. My male is 3 months old and my 2 female is bout 2 months. Any tips? Anyway much love from Philippines your videos arw awesome
Got my new batch of fry. The tank is inside of my room. Should i provide light for them? Im from a tropical country so temp is not a problem. Thanks in advance mate
Hey there. So I can't keep guppies alive for the life of me. All other fish are doing well no problems. I have a 29g and a 10g tanks. There are two bristle noise Pecos and 4 mollies and a black neon tetra. There is a sponge filter on the 10 and a hob on the 29. Tanks been up for 3 months and planted. No Co2 guppies die after a week with full coloration and no sines of stress or illness. I do 20% wc each week and all parameters are great. I have salt in the water as the directions say. What can I try to keep them alive? Thanks for any help
nice vid. sir. can you help me find out what kind of disease does my guppy fry had. it seems like they are loosing their fins and tails. leaving them with needle like tail before they die. i loose a whole batch because of this. please kindly spil the cure for this. thanks in advance.
Hi Michael, I enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I have a 40 breeder, and I would like to get a colony of guppies in there. I’m really not looking to sell any of the fish, but I would like to know how much Java Moss I should order to supply enough hiding spots for the fry? I was going to buy some pairs of nice guppies from you once I am all set up.
The fry keep hiding in the gravel and get chased by the adult male and female...what do I do? I just sprinkle pellets all over the tank so it reaches them. I am aware of ammonia levels rising but no other choice
First time i breed guppies i separated them, feed them 4-5 times a day only flakes. Then i sold em to the fish store and he told me people wondered why they where so big, is it a different fish or something? :D I would also suggest micro worms, so damn easy to set up and cheap to buy and fishes love em, even adult guppies. Actually when i started using microwroms adult fish stopped eating the fry. worked like a"dither" fish? or what you call it :)
I bought it on ebay for like 5 dollar and it takes a few days untill you can see them. and you never need to buy new cultures just start a new one once in awhile and your good. Just need some "oatmeal" i think is the murican name. but yeah they where absolutely killing the fry before xD
I find that even when I separate my guppy fry out away from the adults, lots of them die. Not immediately but within a few weeks. Tails eventually narrow to points and they are dead shortly afterwards.
I would not worry so much about what is in the fish's natural environment so long as they food doesn't hurt them-- brine shrimp after all is not in the natural environment of most (any?) fish and it is one of the best foods around.
Help!!! I have two pregnant guppies, one is ahead because it's tummy is much bigger. But upon observing my tank today, I noticed ONE fry swimming at the top of the tank. I was scared that the other fishes will eat it so I separated it. I don't have a separate tank so I just placed it in a small container for now. I don't know which guppy gave birth to it because both of them look the same and it's confusing how there's only one fry.
@@MichaelsFishRoom since I don't know which guppy gave birth, should I go ahead and put them both in a separate place to continue giving birth? if so, for how long should I keep them there, because I have been observing them and I don't see any more fry coming out of either of them. im worried i'll just stress them out if I separate them too soon.
@@MichaelsFishRoom sir, i have had problem of internal parasites with my guppies...i treated them with salt bath garlic and metronidazole...they were back to normal....but those parasites seem to be hiding under the gravel in my tank...my fishes have acquired again this parasite...sir how do i completely eradicated parasite from tank without depleting beneficial bacteria?
I brought home 15 baby fish from work (fancy guppies). They were growing nicely, and their tails were starting to form and become distinctive, and now I have 2 left, with one of those two not looking good. I don't know what happened =(
@@MichaelsFishRoom The only thing I can think of is if some of them died and I couldn't find them, their bodies maybe contaminated the water? Nothing changed in their environment so it doesn't make sense.
Sir, i have tank with just guppies and shrimps .. a week before one of my male guppy has disappeared!!!...i have searched whole tank but couldn't find it... jumping is also out of option since lid is always closed...can other guppies( my female guppy are about 5-6cms) or shrimps eat away an adult dead guppy...
My guppy just gave 21 fry....Can I give them adult fish food....??? I will make that food powder.....Can I do that? Will it be harmful to my baby guppies???
had three adult guppies in a 10 gal, two female one male. big mistake. now mom is on her second batch with the first only being a month old. But hey, they are all doing awesome and Ive put minimal effort into their care. I thin kall the natural plants and happy fish help. Currently have almost 20 guppy fry, anyone looknig for some?
@@MichaelsFishRoom you know I'm not really sure to be honest. I bought them as feeders for my betta but he passed and three of the guppies survived. The male looks like a sunset but the female just has a little black spot on her tail other than that shes pretty boring.
I have 29 hahah... doesnt seem like much. I cant seem to find them all... my first "brood" of guppies i only found one! Then 14, then 8, and now 6. :( i feel like Im doing something terribly wrong! (What is it called? A batch of fry? A brood of fry? A collection? Hahah)
my poor little guppies bite at a tiny bit of flakes and spit it out. They try again and spit it out. Again and again. I've crushed the flakes to a fine powder now. I really hope they're getting enough food!!
my guppy is giving birth right now and let me tell u the struggle of finding these tiny fry in between gravel 😐 never again lol but I'm excited to see them grow into their colors
Lool same I spent ages trying to net them out it’s so hard to see them in the gravel. They’re so clever as well as soon as they came out they went and hid straight away and were staying still on the plants for ages playing dead

yall....they died 💀 LMAOO im a goldfish person now
Funny Iv had my guppys for 6 months and only today they had babys

There are few options available for the aquarium hobbyists in our area. I found some probiotic flake food in the clearance bin that was crushed into oblivion.

A separate tank is fine. It should have a filter and a heater depending on the room temp.

my babies guppy is one month old now and they are big , some start to have beautiful colours , but they still eat baby brine shrimps and cant eat adults food yet , so when i can start to feed them adults food ? thank you
Make the the food smaller by crushing it.
I have a single guppy fry and you have no idea how hard it is to find this little guy
Yes, yes I do!
What is java moss?
Google “Java Moss” and look at pictures.
Hello. How many months before a guppy should breed? For male and female?
Depends on how and what you feed them and how warm the tank is....but, about 2 monthsish....
Michael's Fish Room im from the philippines michael right now its really hot in hear. My male is 3 months old and my 2 female is bout 2 months. Any tips? Anyway much love from Philippines your videos arw awesome
What are you feeding? I am assuming they are outside? Is there plenty of plants and hiding spots?
Michael's Fish Room im feeding them a pellet for flowerhorn. Cause the nutrients on it is good. My tank is outside. And have guppy grass in it.
Can i use algae flakes
You can use whatever you want.
Can I put pellet food
If it is small enough.
Got my new batch of fry. The tank is inside of my room. Should i provide light for them? Im from a tropical country so temp is not a problem. Thanks in advance mate
Light is not required unless you have plants.
Is air pump needed even in a tropical country?
Thanks for answering.
An air pump for what?
@@MichaelsFishRoom for guppy fish.
I nearly killed mine.
Some people i know told me that i need an air pump for my fishes. ☹️
You mean to run an air stone? Only if you have no surface tension breakage or the water is too warm

What do you mean?
nice vid. sir. can you help me find out what kind of disease does my guppy fry had. it seems like they are loosing their fins and tails. leaving them with needle like tail before they die. i loose a whole batch because of this. please kindly spil the cure for this. thanks in advance.
Need more info....all of the water parameters would be a good start.
Could be fin rot u need to change ur water
What about egg yolk (boiled? dried? frozen? at all?)?
That’s fine, just messy.
I know this is about guppy fry, but I was wondering what you fed your Angelfish fry when you were breeding them in the past?
Egg Yolk to start, then Baby brine shrimp
question, could i not just take some regular fish flake food and crumble it to a fine dust????
Sure....but it should be high quality
Can you explain what's your preferred guppy foods and where u can get them in bulk and cheaply?
You should keep watching my videos. Every question you have asked me, I have done a video on, LOL
th-cam.com/video/Lxac_hn2YL0/w-d-xo.html
This will answer most of your questions.
You should do a video on your cinderblock and 2by4 fish tank rack and how to?!!!!
It's simple.....but 2 cinder blocks on the floor a=dd 2 X 4's.....LOL
As always great advice.

when to feed new born fry guppies?..
What is in the tank?
Hi Michael, I enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I have a 40 breeder, and I would like to get a colony of guppies in there. I’m really not looking to sell any of the fish, but I would like to know how much Java Moss I should order to supply enough hiding spots for the fry? I was going to buy some pairs of nice guppies from you once I am all set up.
A 40b is pretty big. I would buy at least 2 baseball sized portions to start.
Any DIY ideas for food or fresh variation?
I use Green Beans and Cucumber for my plecos. What kind of fish are we talking about?
@@MichaelsFishRoom Baby guppy fry. Although, I do have adult guppies and some bristlenose plecos and ramshorn snails.
Cooked egg yolk, but it can make the water cloudy.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Hmm, thank you for the quick replies ^_^
You’re welcome
Love bloopers.
Mt too!
Can I just feed them raw meal replacement and some unflavored protein powders?
You can do what ever you want.
The fry keep hiding in the gravel and get chased by the adult male and female...what do I do? I just sprinkle pellets all over the tank so it reaches them. I am aware of ammonia levels rising but no other choice
You need more floating plants for them to hid in.
First time i breed guppies i separated them, feed them 4-5 times a day only flakes. Then i sold em to the fish store and he told me people wondered why they where so big, is it a different fish or something? :D
I would also suggest micro worms, so damn easy to set up and cheap to buy and fishes love em, even adult guppies. Actually when i started using microwroms adult fish stopped eating the fry. worked like a"dither" fish? or what you call it :)
Really.....that is interesting. I keep saying I want to try micro worms.....
I bought it on ebay for like 5 dollar and it takes a few days untill you can see them. and you never need to buy new cultures just start a new one once in awhile and your good. Just need some "oatmeal" i think is the murican name. but yeah they where absolutely killing the fry before xD
Great video and well worth watching to the end hilarious bloopers
They are the best part.
How long does it take for your fry to grow big enough so that they wont be eaten?
Depends on water changes and feeding schedule and what what you are feeding. In my case about 2-3 weeks.
How often do you feed them and what quantity for 30 fry. Thank You.
What are you feeding? How big is the tank?
Also how often do you want to change water?
Super video.
Thanks!
Can I just use bread to feed the guppies
You can do what ever you want.
I find that even when I separate my guppy fry out away from the adults, lots of them die. Not immediately but within a few weeks. Tails eventually narrow to points and they are dead shortly afterwards.
Sounds like either poor water quality or lack of nutrients in the water.
I would not worry so much about what is in the fish's natural environment so long as they food doesn't hurt them-- brine shrimp after all is not in the natural environment of most (any?) fish and it is one of the best foods around.

Should I leave my fry i the tank or can I take them out or should I leave them in another small tank with nooo pump
You can do what ever you want. I leave them in with plenty of cover.
My guppy just gave birth yesterday morning, its her first time, but she only had one that i know of, should i be worried?
I need more information.
I tried some repashy powder
And how did it go?
@@MichaelsFishRoom they seemed to eat it. Just started today so will let u know.
Help!!! I have two pregnant guppies, one is ahead because it's tummy is much bigger. But upon observing my tank today, I noticed ONE fry swimming at the top of the tank. I was scared that the other fishes will eat it so I separated it. I don't have a separate tank so I just placed it in a small container for now. I don't know which guppy gave birth to it because both of them look the same and it's confusing how there's only one fry.
What is your question?
@@MichaelsFishRoom since I don't know which guppy gave birth, should I go ahead and put them both in a separate place to continue giving birth? if so, for how long should I keep them there, because I have been observing them and I don't see any more fry coming out of either of them. im worried i'll just stress them out if I separate them too soon.
JHN Creations I don’t separate them.
I just bought a pregnant guppy 2 of them im taking them out the tank and putting themselves. That way when they give birth the fry not in the big tank
Ok
Don’t forget frozen baby brine shrimp or frozen daphnia for larger fry.
Guess what a follow video will be?
And tank size??
Any size you want.
I get a good community flke and then run it through a pulse grinder
Why? Why not just use your fingers?
@@MichaelsFishRoom why would I?
How many times do we need to feed the guppy fry?
I feed them 3-4 times a day if I can.
@@MichaelsFishRoom thank you sir
@@MichaelsFishRoom sir, i have had problem of internal parasites with my guppies...i treated them with salt bath garlic and metronidazole...they were back to normal....but those parasites seem to be hiding under the gravel in my tank...my fishes have acquired again this parasite...sir how do i completely eradicated parasite from tank without depleting beneficial bacteria?
You’re welcome
In would use fenbendozole.
I brought home 15 baby fish from work (fancy guppies). They were growing nicely, and their tails were starting to form and become distinctive, and now I have 2 left, with one of those two not looking good. I don't know what happened =(
Me neither. What do you think happened?
@@MichaelsFishRoom The only thing I can think of is if some of them died and I couldn't find them, their bodies maybe contaminated the water? Nothing changed in their environment so it doesn't make sense.
Stephanie V your water could be too soft or not enough minerals in your water. Did you test your water and compare it to the water at work?
@@RandySoWavvy no I haven't but I definitely will. The last one died 😪
Mine gave birth one hour ago I'm so happy
Congrats!
Thanks michael
Happy fryfryfriday
Thanks, but it’s more fry Monday!
Sir, i have tank with just guppies and shrimps
.. a week before one of my male guppy has disappeared!!!...i have searched whole tank but couldn't find it... jumping is also out of option since lid is always closed...can other guppies( my female guppy are about 5-6cms) or shrimps eat away an adult dead guppy...
Yup
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅🤣
My guppy just gave 21 fry....Can I give them adult fish food....??? I will make that food powder.....Can I do that? Will it be harmful to my baby guppies???
🤦🏻♂️ It’s fine
Thanks!
You're Welcome!
Why do 1 or 2 guppy fry die randomly
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@MichaelsFishRoom any reason
Many reasons.
@@MichaelsFishRoom can you tell the reasons🙏🏻
had three adult guppies in a 10 gal, two female one male. big mistake. now mom is on her second batch with the first only being a month old. But hey, they are all doing awesome and Ive put minimal effort into their care. I thin kall the natural plants and happy fish help. Currently have almost 20 guppy fry, anyone looknig for some?
Congrats! What kind of guppies?
@@MichaelsFishRoom you know I'm not really sure to be honest. I bought them as feeders for my betta but he passed and three of the guppies survived. The male looks like a sunset but the female just has a little black spot on her tail other than that shes pretty boring.
Bettas are not great hunters, they are pretty slow.
For me guppy fry just happens. There's so many. 😂
LOL...I know! How are the Panda's?
Michael's Fish Room they exploded. Need pandas?😂
Lol...always!
I have 29 hahah... doesnt seem like much. I cant seem to find them all... my first "brood" of guppies i only found one! Then 14, then 8, and now 6. :( i feel like Im doing something terribly wrong! (What is it called? A batch of fry? A brood of fry? A collection? Hahah)
A google of fry! My guess is not enough hiding spaces.
I give plenty of hiding places and then I remove the fry as mom seems to go looking for them.
Do you have an issue with them being eaten?
Of course you know who I am because you clicked on the thing and blahh. lol
LOL....There were A LOT of bloopers in this one!
my poor little guppies bite at a tiny bit of flakes and spit it out. They try again and spit it out. Again and again. I've crushed the flakes to a fine powder now. I really hope they're getting enough food!!
I’m sure they are.
A coffee grinder will turn most foods into good fry food.
But that means buying a coffee grinder. LOL
🇧🇩💕Bangladesh.... '
🇺🇸😍
Im stress. My guppy fry some die everyday.....
Why?
In my younger days Use to pull the babies. Not now.
Too much work!
When to seperate guppy fry from their mother after birth?
I don't......
I cant tell how many fry I have
Take a picture and count.
IF WE KNOW THE DRILL!!!!! ✋ saying it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, you want me to stop?
I just grind a flake between my fingers and let it sprinkle in the tank
Just like me!
I had guppy fry randomly but my female betta took care of that 😔
Tender and delicious!
Michael's Fish Room lmao
