Ok I have had endless trouble with the fishless cycling. It was going to be a guppy breeding tank anyways so I bought 4 guppies and put em in. Next morning I had oodles of babies. Do I need to remove them to keep them safe from the cycling or will they be ok? They've been in there for 2 days now. Eating microworms and daphnia with their folks. They are going to be food for my oscar eventually (eck..if I can bring myself to do it) but I want to provide them with the best care I can while they are here.
I don't have another heater.. only thing I could do is put them in my 5 gallon with my betta but she'd surely eat them. Or in a glass bowl but I'd worry they'd get too cold.
These are fancy guppies, btw, cant find 'feeder' guppies here anywhere.

I'd just leave em be. Your adult guppies will reproduce many times over, you'll see. Just keep up with the water changes, at least once a day in the beginning or as indicated by your water test kits.
