guppy fry

[mcboo]

Hi I have guppy frys and they are 3 weeks old now and I'm keeping them in a breeding box. I am planning to put them with others but they look like they can fit in adult fish's mouth even if they are 3 weeks old. Is it safe to put them with others?

Keep the babies separate until they are at least half the size of the adults.

If you have to put the babies with the adults sooner, make sure there are lots of live plants in the tank and feed the adults and babies 2-3 times a day so the adults are less inclined to eating the young fish.

Well, big fish eat little fish as long as they fit in their mouth. I would keep them separate for a while.
