Help! Guppy Fry

[luke.prowse]

right... soo i have had 8 fry. just over a week ago now.. and they are all fine even in with the adult guppy's. which were put back in so the other females could release their fry... i had not really thought about it much but it looks like 2 of my females are going to give birth tonight will the new fry be ok in a 30L tank 8 adult and 8 1 week old fry???
i am off to Hong Kong for 2 and a bit weeks on thurs as well... any advice as to what i should do? i have someone that can feed them for 2 weeks but they will be on their own or 5 days.
thanks
Luke

With a 5 day absence where nobody is getting fed, the newborn fry will likely become food. Although I have great luck with well fed guppies and endlers leaving their fry alone, when they get hungry the fry start to look like food to them. By the time 5 days have passed, you will have lost many, perhaps all, of the fry.
