Fry

[cookiemistress]

How long would i have to wait before putting the guppy fry back in with their parents?
They are about 1-2cm in length
i just want to know cos im getting a betta and hopefully selling my current tank to get a smaller one.
Any help very much appreciated.

Guppy fry that are over a cm long are probably big enough to live with adult guppies. If you put the fry in with a betta, they will need to get a bit bigger first. I leave my guppies with the adults from birth and don't have any problem constantly getting more fry than I want. They have some cover from java moss and there are no other predators in their tank. The adults eat a few fry each time but plenty survive to eventually overpopulate the tank.
