guppy birthing?

ok so i have 2 guppys who seem very ready to have babies in a heated breeder tank(5 gallons) i separated them and added them this morning.i have been feeding them 2x a day and there temp is at 75.i have fed them a mix of… brine shrimp flakes…spirulina…tropical flakes… and have stress zyme in the tank to help reduce stress. there are no other fish in the tank just them.Is there anything else that i should be doing to help them give birth easily and reduce stress.plus i wanna keep the babies so anything i can do to help that? one guppy is fancy my other is feeder are the amount of fry different for each kind or no? and if in the future i allow onlymy fancy male to impregnate her will the chances of fancy babies with my feeder be high or low?on average i hear they will have like 20-60 babies can i just keep babies in the heated breeder tank or should i move them immediately out and into a separate tank?
can i keep the babies in the heated breeder if i take the moms out* i shudda wrote tht to make the last one make more sense
and will 3 weeks be long enough for them to grow and get there colors if they are in my breeder tank with a mix of high protein foods.with a baby fry liquid food in the begining
i have 9 female guppys(7 fancy 2 feeder) and 4 male guppys
Thanks in advance!
is ther anything i can do to prevent mom and the other guppy from eating the babies?
dads not in there just mom and i plan on taking her out after
the 9 females 4 males are in my 55 gallon tank with other fish
will stuff like unused candle holders and stuff be good enough as deco all my other deco is in my 55 gallon
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this all im definately going to pick the best answer i always do:)

question about sea monkey water?

I bought some sea monkeys for my daughter (well…and me cause I love those stupid things lol) and put the water purifier in, but this morning I spilled it.
Can I just use distilled water or something? I know that if I let tap water sit for a couple days it’s ok, but I don’t want to wait that long. I was looking forward to hatching them tonight!
What kind of water would be best?
Crap…does the water purifer have the salt in it?? I thought that came in the eggs.
Dang it…HELP!

Do Sea monkeys sleep?

I find my sea monkeys at the bottom of the tank in the early morning and then when I move the tank to the sunlight they begin to swim around. Are they sleeping at night?

Is this a good diet for my betta fish?

I feed my betta twice a day. In the morning I feed him two Hikari Betta Bio-Gold pellets – here is a picture of it: http://www.aquatichouse.com/Fish%20Food_files/betta%20bio-gold.asp

Then in the afternoons I feed him a small chunk of frozen food. For the frozen foods I thaw the small chunk in a small amount of water for a couple of minutes.

Here is the schedule of his afternoon feedings:

Sunday – frozen brine shrimp

Monday – frozen blood worms

Tuesday – fresh batch of live black worms I get from a local pet store.

Wednesday – frozen blood worms

Thurday – the same live black worms.

Friday – frozen blood worms

Saturday – frozen krill

Keep in mind, I feed him the pellets every morning. For the black worms, the pet store gets a new shipment every Tuesday so I feed him a fresh batch on Tuesday, and then on Thursday where I throw out the remaining black worms.

He eats everything and still looks healthy and active..just want to make sure his diet is ok

how do I know if I am feeding my turtle enough?

My red ear slider is about a year old. He only eats frozen brine shrimp. I buy it in these little gum drop sized cubes. He gets 3 in the morning and if he is splashing around like crazy at night, I figure he’s trying to tell me he’s hungry so I give him one or two more. He is about 5″ wide and 7″ long. He is really healthy and lives in a clean wonderful environment. I just want to make sure he is eating enough or too much, and if it’s ok to only eat frozen brine shrimp?I try to give him the occasional fruits and veggies but he doesn’t like them.
