i got 14 of them in a small pet container, wc once per week and feed them with some cheapo ocean free food ): one big tub for 3$ type of flakes which i make it into powder before feeding. got use syringe to remove their poop.

Errr 1mm at 1 month old ? Abit too tiny leh

i thought guppy when born already bigger than 1mm? Did you put any air pump in the container? otherwise your guppy fry may have died because of lack of oxygen in water. Furthermore, nowadays the weather can be quite hot at times, it will deplete oxygen levels even more.

U might wan to consider using a bigger container to keep your next batch of fries so water parameters dont fluctuate so much.

Dont use a huge and deep container tho. else your fries will be using much of its energy swimming lookin around for food.

maybe 2mm then :X
ok would use a 1ft tank for next batch of frys.
will add in an oxygen source too.

does adding some salt helps?
