Questioni have six new born fishes and i don't know what to do.how long should i leave them away from the ten gallon tank? and how much do i feed them? Also i heard you were suppose to separate them from their mother? is that true
AnswerHi Jartiza,
When you say "the ten gallon tank", I assume you mean the tank where the parents live?? If so, the answer is "forever" or at least until they are quite large. Otherwise, they will be eaten. After a female guppy gives birth, she shows no further parental care and baby guppies (her own or those of another female) are viewed simply as food.
