Friends Of Fry?

[fishlover333]

i am going to set up a tank for my baby swordtails, and it is big tank for only 5 fry, so are there any fish that wont harm the fry.
the fry are 1 week and 1 day old

your'e quite unclear about what you want... are you setting up a fry tank and want tankmates?

 

[fishlover333]

[matchstickman47]

[fishlover333]

[matchstickman47]

so why make it a fry tank?

um fry get eaten by anything big enough to do so .... vegitarian fish should be ok tho ... i keep mollies with fry and they dont eat tem ... bn plecs are ok with fry and as far as im aware so are khuli loaches

Hi fishlover333

If your tank is big enough for a school of cory cats, they would get along well with your livebearer fry. They'll also help by cleaning up uneaten food that settles down to the bottom.

oh ok, are there any that swim around?
i heard mollies and bumble bee guppies are ok.

Harlequin Rasbora might be a nice addition, I have a school of 8 or 9 in my community tank & they never touch the swordtail fry, I would avoid the mollies, from personal experience the swordtail babies get munched by mine.
