I have Guppy Fry!

[enchanted]

Well, I knew at least one of my females must have given birth but I couldn't find any of the fry so I figured they had all become fodder...

So, I did a major water change w/ temp fluctuation in hopes of getting my corys to spawn again and as I was doing it I saw 4 fry in various parts of the tank coming out of hiding.

As well as they were hiding I don't think this is all of them and they appear to be at least 3 or 4 days old. I thought about catching them, but I'm just not sure how to do it without tearing my whole tank apart.

Depending on what else is in the tank they could be do well. Guppy fry have a tendency to disappear into the plants and decorations making them harder for some larger fish to find. I had one guppy fry that managed to survive in a tank with cichlids! I am still not quite sure how it did that! If its just guppies then I wouldn't bother trying to catch it. Its too much clean up to tear apart a tank!

Congrats on the fry!

Clean up isn't even the half of it. Tearing apart the 125 alone would take 2 to 3 hours and then putting it back together......

There are a lot of places for them to hide so hopefully they will make it. I'm betting there are more than I know. I also moved a few cory fry that are about 1" long over to the main tank to see how they do. If they do okay I will move the rest of the larger cory fry over.

They are still alive. Some of them have gotten big enough and gutsy enough they are coming out to play. I will try to get pictures.
