Answer 1

Wow i can't belive most people think the little fry needs their mom?? the mom will eat her babies because she finds them tasty. But anyways this is coming from an experince fancy guppy breeder. The fry will absorb it's yolk sac within 2-4 days, and feed them finely ground food very lightly on the surface of the water, twice a day, any more than that will result in alot of uneaten food and ammonia spikes which will kill the fry. Also when the mother gives birth, remove the mother and leave the fry in the tank. The mom can take the stress of changing tanks with similar water conditions, but the fry cannot tolerate minimal changes. And do not change the water any more than once a week and no more than 20 percent. Try not to distrub the young fry for the first two weeks as they don't tolerate stress well.

With my guppy fry i do no longer even use a clear out I purely use an air stone. once you do water variations do no longer do them too commonly (except some thing is inflicting you to) and don't substitute all of the water. in case you have gravel of their tank i could attempt to take it out (it fairly is troublesome because of the fact fry are so small) Then i exploit the air line that blows bubbles into the aquarium to siphon out the nasty previous stuff off of the backside of the tank. upload aquarium salt made for sparkling water fish....you may get this at petsmart...walmart.... or petco. Fry are so small its troublesome to work out ailment....it fairly is help if there is any. They do choose a heater and fairly fry do greater efficient at approximately 80f it facilitates them develop swifter. Your feeding sounds stable. Fry empty their abdomen's each 20 minutes (you do no longer could feed this commonly) yet i could advise attempting this....Cooking and egg (boil) and disposing of the yolk as quickly as its executed cooking and take a nook of the yolk and mash right into a paste with small quantity of water. be certain you get out all of the vast products and feed it on your fry as quickly as an afternoon with a dropper or basically a small quantity! They like it and its stable for them. vast fish like it additionally!

No no it's not because they didn't have their mother. Their mother would have gladly eaten the babies!!
Fry are delicate. Did you cycle the bowl they were in? This is necessary and babies can easily succomb to ammonia poisoning. They are also sensitive to temperature fluctuations, chlorine, trace heavy metals, stress, etc.

Well was the tank water they were in cycled? Try a breeder net so they are in the cycled tank and the water still gets filtration and everything

did you make sure that the water was the right temperature and did you check if it was the right kind of water? cuz water temp. and the right kind of water is important. also changing the water everday is too much.
