Feeder Livebearer Fry As Conditioning Food

[blue_betta]

i was thinking of perhaps setting up a sorority with mabey a dozen females guppys/endlers with one or two males. the females produce the fry, the betta girls eat the fry in addition to normal food. good idea?

nope as you need to condition both male and female first of all.
if you feed the male little fry as food, what do you think will happen when his fry hatches??? yep he will eat them all as food.
females arnt generaly big enough to take guppie/endler fry safely.

ok thanks for that, il give it a miss then i would not have fed the male fry anyway for the reason you state.
