Guppy Fry

[apollo]

hi there

i have guppy fry in a breeding tank. i have an angel fish aswell. people say that they eat fish the size of tetras so at what size should i let them out. they are about 2cm long i have 3


thanks

Angel fish will eat anything they can fit in their mouths really.

so do you think that it would be safe to let them out then. the only other thing is that i have a pair of kribensis that i think are breeding they chase the other fish do you think they can defend themselves at this size?

thanks

A guppy can't defend itself against a krib at any size. However the Kribs might leave the guppys alone if the tank is big enough and well planted. If in doubt, better to keep them seperate - especially if the kribs are about to breed

i have another tank with keyhole cichlids and rams but there a platies and they are doing fine so should i release the fry in there.

hi,
can the fry not stay a little longer in the breeding tank?, if not i think they would stand a better chance in with the platys as long as there is hiding places just incase they get chased.
