Fry all at one time

Last night i looked and found fry in both my guppy tanks. I was able to cup most of them out of the 10g and relocate them to the 8g which only has 2 females and 10 fry. So i got a total of about 40 fry. I still have 1 female that looks like shes ready to drop soon. Lol it will be a fry explosion. Its funny just when i stopped looking for them they showed up. I will probally move the 2 females to the 10g in a day or so once im sure they are done dropping.

In just one day you can see lots of growth. We are very excited. Also we have found a LFS that will take them for store credit when they are big enough. Of course i will keep the ones i like. I see this feeding my MTS soon.

o thats cool i have three guppies 2 female and 1 male i think both of the females are pregnant what did your guppies look like when they were pregnant and you said that you can get store credit from somewhere does a lot of stores do that because i have a little fish store right in my small town and do you think that they might want the fry when they get older or could i bring them to pet smart because i only have a 10 gallon and a 35 gallon and if i put any more fish in my 35 gallon it will probably be overstocked and the 10 gallon isn't big enough for 40 guppies when they get older o and also what should i do to the tank should i take all the substrate out so i can see the fry and just leave some plants and hiding spaces in the tank ?

This is really my first batch so im still new. The females were huge and started to square of taking on a box shape. I have java moss and plastic floating plants to give them cover. Petsmart will not take guppies you need to look for a non chain type family store and ask. They will want them grown out a bit and ready to sell. If you get babies you can always let the parents eat them to free up space. But yes they do need a good amount of grow out room. Im thinking of getting acouple gallon jars and if its warm enough just putting in a air stone. But i have 2 tanks also to distriute some of them around.

there was a variety of fancy guppys at the fish store and i think this is where the guppy got pregnant so idk what the fry guppys will look like when they get older i can't wait and i am going to keep the ones i like too. i am going to seperate the male and the females after the females have dropped there fry the gravid spot has gotten a lot darker just over night and it seems bigger i think she will have her fry within 3 to 7 days. i hope the fry are going to look cool when they are older.i can't wait i can't wait i can't wait her name is lattifah hahaha my friend named it.
