Help! Breeding feeder gupppies!

I have a very bare 10 gallon tank and I really need to find out how to breed and care for feeder guppies! Any replies or references would really help. Thanks!

 

Oh yeah and I bought 6 females and 4 males for breeding!

 

They will breed on their own faster than you can imagine, but you need plants or something for the fry to hide in once they are born. Or you can just remove the pregnant female into a hatchery until the fry are born and then remove the female until the fry are big enough to go into the bigger area.

 

Do you know how long it would take by any chance!

 

they will breed as they are right now expect babies in 2 to 4 weeks

 

just leave them to do their own thing. my platties breed like there is no tomorrow and same with my friends guppies. eventually you will see the gravid spot on the female. and the best part is caring for the fry!

 

Use alot of plants for hiding and remember that there should always be more females than males so as to mate and prevent fin-nipping. The strongest fry will survive however. Best of luck.

 

Thanks all your replies really helped!

 

My betta fishes gave birth a while back and I didn't know what to feed it... does it eat the same thing mama and papa fish eat?

I'm planning to get get guppies as well, that's why I'm kind of curious since I've heard that guppies multiply faster than rabbits =P

 

if your going to do that please make sure you have a home for them. i did a mistake and tryed breedin them and omgosh now i am over run with fry. to much trouble!! lol.

as for the feeding the fry for the beta go down to your lfs and ask them about it. they will have foods set aside for these things. well mine does atleast
