Siamese Guppy Fry

[Kurosakii]

Unfortunately, God has given me bad luck and misfortune to take care of a twin that I, do not know a d*** about, so I'm going to ask for help. If this has ever happened, how did the two fry eat as it looks quite difficult for the two fry as one swims while being stuck to another fry at it's own weight ; that's like me carrying another person on my back while trying to eat. If they do survive, will they both be males/females or can it be male and female. And finally has anyone ever encountered this, how did they raise them until adult hood, or they never survived?

There was a post a while back from someone who also had siamese fry. I can't find it now. Maybe they will see your post. Good luck with the twin.

I've had these before, and they never made it long. They had trouble eating, swimming, you name it. Everyone I know who has had these has had them die pretty early on too. I wouldn't count on them living long, sadly.

If you do a search, you should be able to find some posts on this. I know of at least 2 people on this forum have had this occur.

So there's no hope?

Btw, I'll get pics asap when I do my water changes and try to find it out of 50 other fry.

There is hope, but you just don't want to get totally attached to them, because there is also a chance they will die.
