My fishy had babies... now what!?

Question

My fish had babies this morning. I put the babies in their own cage away from the mother. And I got baby fish food. Is there anything else I need to do?

Answer 1

Good deal! sounds ok so far.

Answer 2

you did everything you need to. you dont need to buy a new filter that is crazy! i have a ptestore and sometime my fncy guppies have babies. we either put them in a fish bowl and let them flourish or we put them in a floating cup like thing with tiny vents that floats in the reg tank with the other fish. you should be able to get this thingy at any pet store.

Answer 3

What type of fish is it? No matter the kind of fish, if you have not already, you need to put a sponge filter in the tank with the babies. It is to small to suck up the babies. They NEED a filter, with fry perfect water condition is a must. Good luck with your fry.=)

Answer 4

give me an email and we can discuss what you need to do for that spacific type of fish.
