the is a general size of the fry.
this is how many of them there is! lol. (that's only half)
think it'll be 'ok' if i keep that many fish in the 10 gallon, or, should i move them around?

They should be fine for a while in the 10. :kewl:

well, kind of....some of them are a little darker than others, but no real color, maybe in a week or so. i think i have lost at the most 3 in the past week or so.
i have been feeding the parents Hikari's freeze dried blood worms, and the ghost shrimp i have in the aquarium, have been swimming to the top of the aquarium and grabbing blood worms and eating them, is that normal???

oh, and no the others haven't dropped yet, it should be very soon, they are getting very large! :whistle:
the guppy fry are on a diet of Hikari's 'First Bites', and they are the first batch of fry that actually will eat. my zebra danios in my 40 gallon have produced fry many many times, and i can't ever get them to eat, and they end up dieing.
but the guppies are even trying to eat the blood worms i am feeding the parents :laugh:
kind of weird.
my first time the guppies have actually lived I've tried 5 times :drunk: :D
