suemack Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 hiya Logan yep guppies will breed most places - but not many of the fry will probably survive in a community tank - when they are first born they're small enough for most fish to think they are a lovely snack.......... what sort of filtration and how long/wide is the tank you are wanting to add the guppies to - imo your 60 litre tank could be getting a bit overcrowded without adding any more - especially when the clown loaches grow. sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGaN Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 the clowns are soon to go into a different tank so dont count them the tank is 2 x 1 foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 hiya Logan if you have a load of plants in the tank a few of the fry may survive but if they are in a community tank it is difficult to save very many. Some people use breeding nets/traps to put the female in when she is due to give birth, then raise the fry in the net till they are too big to eat - I use a small tank (5gall) for my fry - then transfer them into the bigger tanks when they are older sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 The guppies will definitely breed in that tank, but like sue says most will be eaten. I suspect guppies would probably in a big fish's stomach if swallowed hole... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGaN Posted January 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 there is a huge bit of java moss in there so i think they will be able to hide pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
