I've got my brood spread out between a 5 gallon and a 10 gallon. The mama's are in the 10 gallon (2 fancy, 1 wild) along with the current brood (few weeks old) and my lone Barb, who probably ate the brood that was born a few days ago.rolleyes.gif

The 5 gallon has Dad and my 4 month old fry, who are moving out as soon as I find someplace that wants some more males. I'm keeping the females until they get a lit tle bigger.

The guppies will multiple no problems so don't worry about your tank looking empty tongue.gif

I have a guppy tank and can't stop them breeding tongue.gif

Just make sure you have plants. Some floating as well. Don't worry about some fry getting eaten by the parents as you well find that if you put a mother in a breeder trap and all the fry are saved, some won't make anyway.

We have them in a breeder trap, and in the 12 gal, there is 1 female guppy, 1 male, 2 cardinal tetras, and two little hatchetfish, lots of plants, and a hidey hole. I think they are gonna be okie dokie, they are so cute!

My guppy had babies months ago and there still SO SMALL i dont know why they wont grow they are starting to get color but are still small. Before i had put four fry in my 10 gallon with there parents and they grew quite big and fast but then they all died of ick sad.gif . So now 3 fry are in a 10 gallon all alone and there not growing i use to feed them fry food but then i switched to grinding tropical fish flake myself but that didnt make a diffrence so now i raise brine shimp and have started feeding them that but i dont even know if there finding the shrimp????
