Billaney Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hi Guys Does anyone know if Leopard fish will eat there babies or are they safe to leave in with the parents ? Just notices my first batch of these babies and can't find any good info on the net ... Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Separate them mate. They are too good a meal to miss out on. Just like guppies. I had to move quickly the other morning when a hen dropped hers in an icecream container. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Anne Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Floating plants and java fern are your friend but then I'm sure you already knew that. PS: that half black female guppy you gave me is an escape artist. She's been on the floor 3 times but still going. [Note to self - DON'T leave lid off of that tank.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I have not noticed leopards being particularly keen to eat their fry but better safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 That's a good batch. They tend to have less than guppy and swords. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
