Try putting one in the tank and see how they react to it if they go after it take it out and place with sibblings that is the only way I ever find out!

Then again neons cant be as bad as Angels who bit the heads off my fry when I thought they were big enough to go into the tank (big mistake on my part) Angels soon got traded in after that was not a happy bunny! After all the fry were a couple of months old

Hi my guppies were born just before Christmas and escaped from the hatchery they just swam out of the slits in the side, I managed to save two and put them in a old small one i had ages ago, the other five hid in the plants and servived, after 2 week i let the other ones free i now have 7 babys swiming around the tank has 5 Neons, 5 Head & Tail light fish, 2 adult Guppies, 1 Platy 2 Chinese sucker fish (loaches) and a 6" Pleco all seem to leave the babys alone, But if you a worried do what Natsuko said and let one in to the tank and see what happens Ivor
PS the links to your pics don't work

Neons should be okay with fry that age. They are pretty peaceful. However, I wouldn't trust them with small newborn fry.

How is your chinese sucking loach with the other fish!

Only today thanks to this forum I've found out that they are bad news for community aquariums and can attack fish?

Hi Mine seem to be ok, I have noticed they chase each other around, but do not seem to bother the other fish. But Thanks i will keep a eye on them Ivor

Mine are the same enjoy chasing each other about..... But I dont fancy loosing any fish to them possibly lost one to them but not 100% sure so going to trade them in for other fish really dont want to risk it

IME 3 months old guppies are usually pretty competent little creatures and should be able to hold their own against neons.
