Hi, my Guppy babies are 10 days old today. I've left them alone in the nursery box and I haven't cleaned my tank since they were born. I normally do a 25% water change every week to 10 days. My tank…Continue

The two heavily pregnant guppies I have put into the nursery tank and transfered all my Guppy fry into the fluval Chi.

As soon as I have this cycled my intention is to move over the two harlequin tetras, the two phantom tetras and the male Guppies. I haven't decided about the mums yet as… Continue

Well had a bit of a disaster whilst changing the water.

I was busy cleaning the side of the tank and I didn't notice that the nursery tank had tipped up. No all of the fry escaped but some did. I managed to rescue a few but had three that I wasn't able to catch. At least four in total were eaten then there is the three that I couldn't catch. Two were eaten but one has managed to beat all the odds and has survived. He is still managing to evade capture by myself but also by the rest of the… Continue
