I have a question, I have my fry thank and it had 4 shrimps and some 40 guppy fry I was thinking to add some Norman's lampeye you guys think it will border or eat my guppy fry?

They are a really pretty fish, but sadly I have heard they are pretty boisterous. They bother each other a lot in their school so you need a large school. With other tetra it might work but I think they might be to aggressive to the guppy fry. I would suggest small, peaceful tetras like glowlight and neon tetras. Another great option for fry tanks is pencilfish which supposedly have too small of mouths to eat most fry.

A particularly large specimen might gobble up some fry (only get 1.6 inches), but the guppy fry (age depending) might actually out compete the lampeye killifish for food.

I am not too sure how compatible they are with water parameters, though. I know they are top dwelling jumpers, though.

Let's see I will try and watch them for a week to see their behaviour towards the kids. Thanks guys
