All fries gone...

Got a pair of blue grass and the female just drop in the morning.

Use those satellite box that can separate the fries from female.

I realize all the fries keep swimming upwards and after awhile all died.

Is it no enough oxygen because the satellite box has no air tube attach and I only do water change.

Any comments?

No air line at all? Quite hard to tell what killed them but if they were hovering at the surface, it could be lack of oxygen dissolved in the water.

If your main tank is well oxygenated, the breeder box will be ok as it has small openings/holes in it. Do note you have to well feed the female at all times to lessen cannibalism or biting of fries. Also best to put in abit hortwork? (not sure spelling) plants inside the breeder box too. It is normal for fries to swim up as they're restless or may be looking for food, afterall guppies are not bottom swimming only. Once female has given birth to all fries, then quickly separate the female.

Don't think is the fries lack of oxygen and swim upwards. But they just like to swim around.

Best is after the female drop use that box to house the fries and transfer the female away

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Will wait for the next batch and see. Heart pain to lose all 10 of them...

Bro, sad to hear that... As u mentioned, u do water change immediately after u separated them, I suspect maybe due to the water change cos previously I hv experienced wif my fries too. When I do 100% water change to fries, after 5 mins I realized the same scenario like yours and later almost all died too.

bro C.regis, stay strong and move forward, there is still bright future and times ahead, just learnt from mistake and not repeating again.
All the best and good luck.
