Guppy Fry

[ANDRE_M]

When is it ok to put the baby guppies in the tank with the adults??
Should I wait until I can tell if they're male or female cause I dont want my females to get pregnant without being fully developed

I 4got to say I have 2 female guppies

If you only have 2 female guppies in your big tank and no males then the issue is more them being eaten than impregnated as the only other males will be fellow fry so waiting till you can sex them is pointless. Also fish in the wild will only breed when ready so the same goes for tanks humans are the only species that wait till a set age, Henry the 8ths mother was 12/13 when she had him, but convention would now say this is too young. Nature is a wonderful thing- somethimes.

Yes, that's whatI meant... Im not worried about the dad... cause I ain't got any, but about brothers. Ive heard they might not fully grow if they're pregnant as yong as they are ready!

if you mean all in the 2 gal then no, it would be perfect for the fry alone but with the adults not and the adults would probably eat the fry
