i got 4 baby guppys with my ramshorns how can i keep them alive with a betta and 2 white clouds
 
Howdy,

Guppy fry gets eaten by almost every fish, including their own species. Some will always survive, but only in tanks with good hiding spots.

To find more hobbyists with focus on small fish, you should also check out our sister site www.aquariacentral.com :thumbsup:

i checked it out before and did not get much info
 
Give them lots of places to hide and make sure they can't get sucked into your filter. They will end up like when Nemo couldn't swim out the tube on the Emperor 400.

Mine just spit out a big load. I count maybe 20 new ones.

MAKE THEM STOP!
you really can't once they get going. even if you remove the males, the females still have oodles of sperm left in them for 6-7 more batches of fry.
 
if you want the guppy fry to survive then i suggest buying a few tufts (or bunches) of java moss and they should hide in it also try adding some marble sized/large stones in the corner with the moss and they will hide in the moss and under or in cracks between the stones,

good luck!:headbang2
 
Separate them, 4 guppiy fry can get to decent size in a 1/2g jar with a sponge filter. Otherwise guppy fry are basically mobile snacks.
 
Hello,

I have many guppies to feed my bigger fishes and every time i have baby guppies i put them in an other aquarium : in this manner they get enough food...
