My Guppy fry are 11 days old

Hi all
Well my Guppy fry are doing well they are now 11 days old and I haven't lost any yet.Im amazed I expected to lose about half of them. They are starting to look like mini Guppies now. I held off doing a water change as I thought it may upset the new fry but yesterday I bit the bullet and did a 50% water change and they are all doing fine. I am going to put some pics up of them soon. I just have a small problem now my other Guppy is about ready to pop and I haven't got anywhere to put her. I don't think at 11 days old the fry are big enough to be put into the main tank. I have to wait until next week till I can buy a new tank. Then I intend to transfer the other members of my current tank (that is a 25 liter Fluval Chi)into the new 46 liter tank. Thus leaving this one for the fry and pregnant Guppies.
I was feeding the fry liquifry but I have now started adding in some crushed flake as well. If anyone have any suggestions then please feel free to comment.

Ur merely removing dirty water and adding clean water. If u want ur fry to grow a bit larger raise the temp like 3-4 degrees and power feed ur fry. The raised temp speeds up their metabolism and eat lots more food. Guppy fry can eat every 20 min so u can power feed them quiet a bit. Good luck with ur guppy's o and post pics if u can o ur tank
