amethyst Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 You can get different plastic fry tanks that have a v shaped divider so the fry can get away from their mum. I think they are normally around $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Lots of fine leaved plants for the fry to hide. Do you have space to raise a lot of guppy fry if you save them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the-obstacle Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've just spotted at least 8 fry in my guppy tank hiding in the ambulia. The adults are trying to get in there but they're pretty safe for now. I don't really mind if they all get eaten as the last thing I need is more guppies but it's nice to know they've got a fighting chance. With 5 females spawning at hte same time I'm sure I'll get a few out of each spawn that survive in the ambulia until they're big enough to venture out.

ngaffin97 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I keep my guppies (parents and fry) in the same tank and the fry don't even bother hiding anymore because the parent just arent interested in eating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
