Newborn guppy fry, oftentimes will rest on the bottom for a few minutes to a few hours, before heading to the surface. This is especially true of fish born slightly premature and all albinos. They are readily hoovered by any medium-sized and larger Cory. They disappear quite quickly. Once they are truly "free-swimming," that danger fades. - Frank

Personally, with young fry, I would keep all other fish out of the grow out tank.

Not only could they post a threat to the fry, they will help dirty the tank quicker.

If you decide to put them in the tank, make sure all the fry are free swimming.
