Why are my guppie fry dying?

The most likely causes of death in young fish are poor water quality and not enough of the right foods.
For guppy fry, I would suggest you change 50% of the wtaer daily while cleaning the bottom of the tank. You should feed crushed flake food and baby brine shrimp as often as 5 times a day and carefully clean up any leftovers after feeding.

you will possibly desire to purchase tank dividers at maximum puppy shops. they're lots greater fee-effective than finding out to purchase yet another aquarium. the only disadvantage is you will possibly desire to have a basic aquarium length. often they're in basic terms available for 10, 20, and 30 gallon breeders; 10 being the main basic. you will possibly desire to purchase carry on internet breeders for interior the aquarium yet i dont recommend them. i take advantage of the organic physique of strategies a create loads of hiding places for the babies. Java moss prospers under low to medium mild as do java ferns. coming up hiding places will shop a reliable element of your fry with minimum attempt. some wont even eat their babies. I actual have 4 inch swordtails that wont touch the babies in a bare aquarium. After each week or 2 guppy fry might desire to be a secure length the mothers and fathers wont eat/seize them. in case you progression them to a separate tank you will possibly desire to aclimate them comparable to you will possibly once you purchase new fish. too lots rigidity brings on affliction promptly.

If you keep them in the same tank with the parents, well, they just get eaten. You should separate them as soon as they're born. You can use small plastic recipients made for this.
