well i recently purchases a female guppy and lucky me she was preggers... i have about 20 fry and was wondering what i could do with them. i have a ten gallon tank and a three gallon hospital tank so i can keep some but not all. would a pet store take them possibly? Any suggestions welcome!

some might give you credit assuming they are decent sized and disease free. try mom and pop shops as opposed to petsmart or petco

thanks, any tips for raising fry to be decent sized?

plants or a seperate tank, stick em in the 3 and make sure to keep up with water changes and small regular feedings

like chris^ said fry do best when they have super clean water, they like it a little warmer than adults and regular small feedings of crushed flakes or baby food. It can be difficult to keep their water clean when you feed so often but hey...lol

In my experience stores wont usually give you credit for them unless they are a really colorful or unique strain and in good condition, but if you don't want them many will take them as feeders

well welcome to the tank and questions are one of the better things about this forum, and read read read and then ask just my opinion
