So I have a question. My tank have fry plants and 6 female guppies. Since I have more guppies won't they eat all the fry before they get old enough to survive? So far my plants have only saved one fry...I thought more females would mean an exponential growth of fry versus a linear growth with just one female.
FYI I would separate the pregnant females but they're all pregnant and I only had one breeder, which I was using for another female...
 
feed them more often keep them well fed at all times you need to be checking for fry more often.
 
The way to get the added fry from more females is to have tons of cover and make sure that all females are well fed. In this tank, I remove all adults about every 3 months. The population explo0sion never slows very much and I always have lots of adults to sell. It is a tiny 10 gallon tank but has lots of java moss for cover and the adults eat about once a day to full satiation.
