My guppy fry?

Question

My female guppy just gave birth today, or last night, not sure, but there are 6 guppy fry. Im going to take them out of the breeding tank, so i can put in other females. Im getting a small tank (5 gallons or something) for them. Do i REALLY have to have a thermometer for them.. because my main tank thermometer isn't on and it's in the middle of the summer. Also i don't want to spend extra money on a heater aswell? I have a filter for them though.

Answer 1

Answer 3

you could just use a desk lamp for their heat, that is what l use.

here is a picture of my setup( the link is to a forum and this is my  post, l'm aka guppylover. just scroll down and you will see my setup)

the lamp keeps my tank at 75degrees.

Answer 4

Where do you live?  In the summer, my heaters are off because it is warm inside.  If the room temperature drops to low in the winter, you will need a heater.

Watch out, they multiply QUICKLY.  Without long-term planning, you could end up with too many guppies.  They are cute.

instead of spending money for an extra tank just go to petsmart or petco an buy a breeding net for them it just attatches to the side of the aquarium and lets water past through it looks like this: http://www.aquatics-warehouse.co.uk/acat...
