Who wants a fry !?

Oh the cories won't bother them! I put newborn guppy fry in the same tank as my cories 'cos cories are such sweeties, they're not out trying to eat fry :D They might accidentally eat their own eggs and fry, but that's derpy rather than predatory, and guppy fry are more than capable of avoiding even when newborn. They'll be fine, let 'em out! You should get someone to film you releasing them from the box into the tank, it'll be cute! Then upload it to youtube and share the link here :lol:

Before releasing them, feed the adults, and give them time to settle again, so they're full, but not still actively hunting for food. Not because they'd eat the fry since those are large enough, but just because if they're hungry it's natural for them to chase, and you'd probably panic ;) If they're full and not in feeding frenzy mode anymore, it should hopefully go more smoothly :)
Cool I'll release them tomorrow after I do my water change and clean up a bit ... exciting :) be good to get that big breeder box out and washed and ready for the other 40 in a week or so . The mesh is slightly bigger on it and some of the baby fry have actually got through and are in with the big ones

Please film and share the release! :D
And don't panic if there is a little chasing, if you watch, you should see the adult realise that it's a fish and too big to eat, and lose interest.

Its say file too large for server . How do I get videos uploaded?
The photos are so cute!

I don't think the video function works on here, people have to upload to youtube then just post the link here. It's so sweet that you actually took a video! You don't have to upload it to youtube if you'd rather not, don't worry about it, the photos are great as is! :D

Must have been fun seeing them all swim out and discover this huge space! The adults didn't chase them too much?
