How do I care for my new baby fish?

Question

I took home three fish(I think they are some kind of pond fish) from school at the end of the year and one of the fish had three babies. I don't know how to care for baby fish so please tell me what to feed it and stuff.

Answer 1

You need to get baby fish formula and itty bitty bottles... I would suggest going to the pet store and getting  a breeding bin... its a plastic holder that mounts to the top of the tank and has holes in it.  You keep the babys away from the parents because the parents might eat them.

Answer 2

I had the same thing happen to me i just got a breeding pin it just goes on the side of the tank and i just kept feeding them regular fish food hope this helps  

Answer 3

i got 12 baby fish from my friend and i just feed them normally but i just crunch up the food so they can fit it in their mouths.

Answer 4

Without knowing what it is, generally, you would get some quality tropical flakes and crush them into a fine powder, feed them 2-3 times a day. Can you give a description of the parents (color, size, long or short body), did they give live birth, or did they lay eggs? Without knowing what kind of fish you have, the only thing I can tell you, is to put more places in your tank, for them to hide.

Answer 5

dont look at it hungry...lol1 way

Hi,

Not an expert here, but found some links to kick things off. None are mine, so hopefully they offer info you can use:

(about.com generally has whole sections on topics, so they should have a LOT of info on fish)

take a good picture of them and put it here and ask us what fish it is, we might know what kind of fish it is. If not go to petsmart of petco and ask them what fish it is and what you can do to help the babys! =P
