EL GUPSTIENS

[hermitpermit]

just come back from a 2 week holiday, but thats another story......and realised that i have around 5 guppy fry i dont know wether to put them in a net breeder or let nature take its course and let 1 or 2 survive and give the rest of the fish a live meal....??? help please
i saved 9 healthy bouncing baby gupstiens

you don't seem to have anything in your tank that will particularly target the fry, so I would let them swim free

Well how long do you think that they've been swimming around? Id it's more than a week that you should let them stay.

i dont have an idea how old they are they are about 1cm but i think the big guppies are eating them because i think i counted 12 earlier might have been the same ones counting more than once.

Yes, that's true. The neons wouldn't eat them and probably couldn't, and same with the ottos.

Well do you have a smaller tank like a 2g somewhere or a breeding trap, you could keep them in? If not then it doesn't really matter, it's only if you want to be safe.

A breeding trap would be nice until you get something more proper ... I had 15 sailfin fry in mine for about a week until I got a ten gallon they are all healthy in their fry tank with the corys
