Fish Fbabies Being Eaten...

[zozorox3]

K so i have a tank with these fish:
2 mosquito fish(one pregnant)
1 guppy
2 platies (one pregnant)
1 golfish.

None of my pregnant ones have obviousely had any babies yet and i was wondering if the other fish would eat them and if so should i put the couples in seperate tanks?

even the parents may eat the fry.

Mosquito fish are terrible for eating baby fish even their own.
If your tank is not over grown with tonne's of plants they will eat any babies with in seconds of being born.

Glofish (danio) will also happily eat any fry that it may find

Guppies if not well feed will also eat some babies but only a few before stopping

Platies rarely eat their babies but they will if again not well feed
