We have babies

Well yesterday afternoon one of my Guppies went into labour and it looks like she gave birth to about 18 fry. I know I may sound a bit sad but I was really excited to watch her. I videoed some of the labour. I'll put it on shortly.

Mum is doing very well and eaating anything in sight. I have started feeding the fry liquifry as instructed by my local pet shop.

And I'm a rookie any tips would be awesome

Female Guppies first day in the nursery box

Well I had thought that they looked a lot slimmer but maybe it was just the light. I have uploaded a video of them before I put them in the box and then after a day in the box here's the link

I just purchased what I linked below

Odyssea 36" T5 HO Deluxe

Based on my calculation Ill be between 25 to 33 L/in^2  which is high to very high light range.
