how long do i wait?

Question

ok i got a female guppy and she died but before she died she layed eggs and so today i woke up and i saw 2 baby guppies and so i didnt have a net but i have 2 other fish that are bigger than the babies and so i took the bigger ones in a dif tank and 2night im going 2 by a net 2night but im wondering how long do i wait till i let them out of the net

Answer 1

i dont think guppies lay eggs. but whatever you still have babies (probably from your other fish) just get the breeder net and kep them in there till they are strong swimmers and till they are 2x the sized of the other fishes mouths

good luck with your problem

Answer 2

First of all guppies are livebearers and not egglayers

What you can do is get real plants for your tank where your fry can hide from the other fish, you might have even more then 2 babies in your tank you might not see when you have gravel or any plants in your tank

I highly recommend the plants, because the babies grow much faster in the regular tank then in the breeders


Hope that helps
Good luck and congrats

Answer 3

It will be atleast a month before they are big enough to be set free. They need to be bigger than what the other fish can eat. Even after a month they will still be pretty small so if you can make places that the babies can get into to hide that the big ones can't they will do better.

Answer 4

You should buy a small breeding tank to put the babies in.
