Guppy pregnant help?

Question

i have like tons of guppy that is prehnant right now and do i need to remove them to a breeder net? or should i just leave them in the same tank with the other guppies, and i have a 50 gallon tank and i have some where like 300- 350 guppiss in it

Answer 1

I would recommend to put a lot of real plants where the fry can hide because I don't think you have enough space to put breeders in your tank for every single pregnant guppy.
You might also consider to get a second tank, because it sounds like you're overstocked already in that one
Good luck

Answer 2

I usually find that guppy babies do fine in the original tank. As long as they have places to hide, they should be good.

However; if you are really hoping to keep them all and don't want any accidents, you should move them. I don't use the breeder nets or anything with mine, since that usually requires moving the mother, and you can only keep her confined for so long. The stress that it'll cause her just doesn't seem to appeal to me.

So, instead (no matter how hard it is) occassionally I'll net up a few of the babies and move them to a seperate tank until they are a bit bigger.

Good luck! They should be fine. =]

Answer 3

You can leave them all in the same tank. It would be best to buy them some plants like Java Ferns to hide in though. I have some adult and baby guppies otherwise know as Fry.

Answer 4

Put them in the breeder tank but when they are born make sure to take the mom out the mom will eat some babies

Answer 5

I don't know if you have to put them in a breeder net, because i don't know what that is, sorry. I do know you have to take the older fish out when they have the baby guppies because themothers will eat them.
