What the heck do you do with the fry?! LOL! I like guppies and think they look really cool but I don't know what to do with all their fry. I heard they can have up to 100 babies at once! What the heck do I do with all those? LOL!

Get a pet bullfrog- they like guppy fry.

If you do not seperate mom and let her have the babies in the main tank most will get eaten by the adults. With a heavily planted tank with lots of hidy spots a few fry can survive to adulthood.

As mean as it sounds, I have 3 juvy peacock eel who love guppy fry. Their an absolute pain to feed so giving them the guppy fry works out for the best. The eels are very very hard to feed and so far the only dead thing they'll eat is frozen bloodworms.

I have heard some other owners seperated their fries and put them in a different tank. You can try that, but I am afraid the fry won't survive without their mom. I wonder how they do it in the wild?

The fry can survive without the mother as long as they are properly fed.

Separation from the mom and other fish is actually the safest protection for the guppy babies. They receive no care from their parents and the adults will eat them if left in the tank.

Really? Thanks for the info.

The only fish that I know of that stay with their parents are Discus and some cichlids. I bet there are others too but those are the only ones I can currently think of.

Mine are in a seperate tank right now. I plan on either selling them at a yard sale, or bringing them to the LFS if they'll take them. Maybe give a few away to friends.

It's kinda sad, once you think that some fish parents are cannibalistic, especially goldfish.
