Guppy fry - feeding

Question
Hi there,
We just got three guppies today and found that one of the females is pregnant. She is currently giving birth (we were very unprepared for this) in a breeding tank and we have 8 fry safely in the bottom of this. We were wondering how soon we will need to feed the baby fry as all the pet stores close by are closed until 9:30am in the morning. Will they survive overnight (over 12 hours)?

Answer
Hey Nicole,
Feed them crushed up fish flakes, with a pen or pencil. This is good to feed them as a regular food too, but also think about getting Wardley liquid fry food, which works well.
Good luck with your new babies! I hope they grow up happy and healthy. =]
best wishes, chelsey
