i have a breeding tank inside the main tank with three babies about 2cm long and two that have just been born.i intend to start a bigger tank soon to keep the fry in
Answers:
my mum has a tropical fish tank and she had 5 males and 2 females. the babys were kept in a seperate net thingy till they were biggenough not to be eaten. but the stress of havin so many babies and being chased by males made them unhappy and thyer died young so if you want a happy tank may i suggest u buy some more females to stop them from getting fed upp!
hope this helps
xox
depends what other fish you have in your tank.
you can put them in as soon as big enough not to be eaten, if the adults see they are a good size they wont bother trying to eat them, but when they are tiny the adults know they can eat them.
When you are old enough to look after them properly.
I'm not sure of the exact age, but I would leave them in the bredding tank until they are bigger, so they have a fighting chance against the other fish.
when they are big enough to not get eaten. But you need to seperate males and females because if they breed they will have demented babies because they are related
once the babies are about as big as the older ones, so it doesn't get eaten
I would say it is not the age, but the size that determines when they can be put into the tank with your other fish. Generally speaking, if a baby fish will fit into any other fish's mouth, they will eat it. What I did is put a dense bushy plant into the tank instead of a breeding tank for the babies to hide in. They will hide until they are big enough not to be eaten by the other fish.
The age doesn't matter the size matters the most. Please make sure that your baby guppies are large enough so that they can't be eaten by the other fish you have in the tank. If I were you I'd let them grow a bit bigger.
Baby guppies can outrun the parents after only 2 days but if you have other fish in the tank 2cm is big enough.
you have to wait till they are over 1cm as yours are 2cm that is fine so you can put them in
we have a tropical tank and it just depends on how much cover they have, some of our babies were born in the main tank and survived thru hidin,took about 2 months for them to come out and swim about without being chased
I don't go by age, but by the size. If they are at least 1 inch, then it would be ok. It also depends on what kind of fish are in your tank.
