Billaney Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi everyone Could someone please help ? I belive I have a couple of pregnant guppys and this is a first for us so we're not sure when to expect fry and when we should put the moms in a breeding trap as there are other fish in with the moms. some idea would be great , Thanks http://groups.msn.com/billaneyphotos/fi ... &PhotoID=7 heres a link to a picture taken yeterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 if you have lots of plants in the tank you are best to keep her in the tank... less stress on her and if a few babies get eaten she will have babies again in about 30 days if the water is right enjoy seeing live babies is so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Guppies can drop fry every 3 - 4 weeks. Breeding traps aren't such a good idea IMO, too stressful for the female. A tank with lots of fine leaved plants for the fry to hide in is much better. Java moss is good as is water sprite floating on the surface. The fry hide in the long fine roots.
