Guppy Producing Young

[GerardK]

My female guppy has been producing young for the last 5 weeks. When will she stop, as my tank is not capable of supporting so many offspring?

 

[lilfishie]

they give birth every 4 weeks for up to 7 months from a single mating

let some get eaten. it's good protein for the adults, or you could sell them to the lfs

 

[lilfishie]

yes if you leave them in the main tank the parents and other fish will take care of most of them
