help needed for guppy fry tank

hi

I have a 1ft tank i want to set up as a guppy fry tank. what do i need to do to cycle it? i am going to using a submersible power filter from my existing community tank, some gravel from my existing tank and an ornament from my exisiting tank. should i add a fish or 2? or just leave it to run empty for a few days? how long before i can put my guppy fry in the tank? all help is greatly appreciated

 

If you take everything across(including water...) from an existing,cycled tank - you basicly have an cycled tank... Just watch the water quality....tank inner glass and all surfaces also are areas that they grow/live on - this will be absent in the new 1 footer.... move the babies across,but for 1st three weeks or so...do a bigish water change twice a week to be safe...

Do this and you wont have anu problems..

 

great.. thanks for the help @azurekoi

 

I have two corries with my fry,just incase any food falls to the ground without any gravel, just an idea,works for my fry
