Guppy Fry Tank

[Cazgar]

My female guppy looks like she may give birth soon & I'd like to try & save some of the fry if I can.
I'll leave mum in the main tank & just try to catch some of the fry.
I have a small 2 gallon tank, would that be big enough for a few fry, & do I need to add plants or anything else to it?

i would either get a breeder trap (if your fish is not stressed in it) or hevalily plant you 2 gallon and put her in there when she is squaring off.
the 2 gallon will be big enough for fry. dont put them with the big fish until they are full grown or can fend for themselves and not get eaten.

good luck!!

Thank you, no fry yet, but she's hiding in the corner of the tank so could be soon.
Have half filled the spare tank with water from the main one & set up filter/ heater etc.
Will add some plants tomorrow
Geez it's like being an expectant granny lol

Don't keep the fry in the 2 gallon for more than 2 months at a stretch. They will soon grow too large to be in a 2 gallon. Depending on what the main tank is like with stock and hiding places, some fry should survive anyway.
