Answer 1

since you dont know much about your fish it is hard to say some species need their parents others the parents will eat the babies. Since they had them and you didn't mean for it to happen, I would guess you have a live bearing fish (give brth - no eggs) you can leave them together, but it would be best to seperate them from the parents. You can buy special foods, but I feed my baby livebearers crumbled flakesand they grow just fine, it depends on what kind of fish you have as to how long it will take them to grow, but in general I would guess about a month.

Answer 2

It would help to know what type of fish you have. Generally, I would recommend going to the pet store and buying a small tank that fits inside your regular tank. Put the babies in there while they are small so the parents don't eat them.

The size of fish depends on the size of the container. For example, if you put a goldfish in a small bowl, it won't get much larger however if you put an identical goldfish in a pond, they can reach large sizes - up to 6 inches long.

Don't worry about the sex of the fish - it doesn't really matter as they don't nurture their young. If you really want to know, just wait until they are expecting again and you will notice the increased girth on one fish.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Hello, do not know what kind of fish that you have. If they are just a few days old, you can buy something for newbies where they can get away from the dad. Do not know about mother(species?) They also have a divider that you can put into the tank to divide with the mother from other fish and dad. The newbies are not staying close to one special female? GOD BLESS YOU! [e-mail] p.s. their is also fake floating plants that they can hide in.

Answer 4

My son had Platyt's and they had babies all the time. We got some of those long aqautic plants tha would float at the surfsce. We made the plants about 2or3 inches thick, the babies are safe in there. Also they grow to adult size in about 6 weeks or so.

Answer 5

well if it is guppies I would defently say keep them in the same tank. Because they will keep reproducing like crazy. I started with 3 guppieds two male and a female and needless to say now I have about 300 guppies. Yes they parents will eat some of them but when you have them keep reproducing you may appreciate them eating them.

Answer 6

Sweetie I think you do have guppies, you have to keep them separate or the parents will eat them. In about 2 month you will be able to tell the boys and girls apart. The boys will get very pretty long tails. Good Luck

Answer 7

i've got began my son at around 7 months with Salmon and he enjoyed it! blended with potatoes, carrots, broccoli etc, a sprint of warmth milk ( allowed in cooking) and he asked for extra! Fish is extra effective than effective for infants that have been weaned on solids for a jointly as. We provide them meats and animal proteins too! I merely stay faraway from tuna until eventually he's older for the mercury content cloth, and fish arms too, they are nasty.

Answer 8

Thier growth rate depends on thre specis and since i dont know that i cant say wether to seperate tham from the parents but it is better safe than sorry i hope they dont get eaten

Answer 9

depends what fish you have... i wish you told us.

i'll take a guess then...
have the babies/fries by themselves. feed them comercial fry food, egg yolk, crush fish food, newly hatched brine shrimp, green water, and daphnia.

when they're half an inch they can be feed regularly.
