Guppy fry are just as vulnerable to the side effects of stress as adult fish. Stress can exacerbate the consequences of all the other factors that restrict growth in fish. The easiest way to minimize stress is to maintain a clean tank with the appropriate parameters. Hiding places put guppy fry at ease, especially if they share their tank with adult fish. The bigger fish might eat and chase the fry.
This will alleviate some of their stress. Some people keep their fry in half a gallon to a gallon of water. But to be on the safe side, especially if you have a lot of guppy offspring, you should get an aquarium of at least 5 gallons. An aquarium of that size will give your guppy fry ample space to explore. Otherwise, the fry will compete with each other over food. That might cause some of the offsprings to stop growing. Either that or they will be eaten by adult fish.
A tank with guppy fry should be illuminated for at least eight hours a day. Improper lighting causes stress in fish. I like that device since it is compact, energy-efficient, and it produces a lot of light. Do not allow diseased fry to remain in the tank. Look for deformities, sores, rotting tails and fins, and the like. Guppy fry are sensitive and vulnerable. Diseases and infections will spread quite easily in their tank. You can quarantine the sick fry, but some aquarists just throw them away because they are unlikely to grow properly.
If the fry share an aquarium with their adult counterparts, do not medicate the entire tank to treat an adult fish. Even if the drug in question is safe for adult fish, it can still harm younger fish. As was noted before, fry are sensitive and vulnerable. Medication could ruin their health.
This is why you are encouraged to quarantine adult fish before you treat them. It takes guppy fry six months to reach adulthood. However, they can reach maturity within a few months if you provide them with the right conditions. That includes a conducive environment, suitable water parameters, a high-quality diet, and plenty of space to move around.
Give foods such as high-quality crushed guppy flakes, baby brine shrimp, microworms and daphnia. Increase the size of the food as the fish grow. Keep the water in the fry aquarium at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Although guppy fry can be kept at cooler temperatures, such as the mids, a higher temperature often increases the rate of growth.
Use an underwater thermometer to monitor the temperature. An aquarium heater can be used to raise the temperature if necessary.
Maintain clean water in the guppy fry aquarium. Adult guppies live and flourish on dried food. Feeding your baby guppies a variety of food gives them access to much-needed minerals and vitamins.
A mixture of both live and dry food is recommended. These are the top tips that will help you grow your guppy fry faster and healthier. With the above tips, your guppies can be ready for sale if you sell. To make guppy fry grow faster, try the following: Raise guppy fry in a separate tank.
Do not raise them in breeding boxes. Do not keep fry with adults or in a community tank. You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.

It took probably 5 months and they remained as small as day one, so I just sold them to a local fishstore. First separate them if you can.
Next feed them as often as you can. Next change water as often as you can. How much you change will effect how much you can feed. So don't feed heavy if you can not change water later. Both will yield the best growth possible and is how I go about raising all my fish.. I leave no food on bottom of aquarium more then 1 day.
Click to expand Thanks to you guyse The two adult guppies on the last photos are my next project! Lovely fish.
