raising angel and guppy fry together

[CJaysmum]

We have a mixed community tank which has been established for over a year. My 11 year old is very keen on angelfish and we have 3 that were very small but have grown and 2 of them are now spawning . Fifteen days ago we rescued a few of the angelfish eggs into a small heated tank and we now have 4 fry. Feeding on baby brine shrimp and ZD100. This morning one of our 2nd generation guppies gave birth and I rescued a few of them in a "fry net" in the main tank. They are just a bit smaller than the angel babies. The frynet is already the centre of attention for the grownup fish and I know that they will start jumping into it from past experience. So can i put all the fry together in the small heated tank? The angels are a bit bigger than the guppy babies but don't look quite so robust.

Following, as I have the same question, only my fry would remain in the netted hatchery in the guppy tank.

It would be okay as a short-term measure, though as soon as one mouth gets big enough to swallow another fish...

Obviously, keep an eye on your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels, with so many rapidly growing fish in a small tank.

MY angelfish fry just started swimming today, the guppy fry is about 2 weeks old. Would it still be ok?

You'll be more able to see their respective mouths than I am.

Whilst I know this isn't currently relevant to your situation, I've just had a flashback to when I'd bred a bunch of neon tetra and agreed to donate them to a friend's wife, who had this large planted tank, already for them.
In went the tetra, looking absolutely gorgeous against the beautifully planted background...
Then out from behind that beautifully planted background, sailed this huge Angel...
Schlupp...schlupp....schlupp....schlupp...etc..
The daft mare hadn't thought to tell me His Lordship was there and had apparently assumed all would be well because he was "such a peaceful Boy!"

Oh my god!! This is exactly why I do research before I do anything! I hated it, a d it broke my heart the first time my angels are their babies! That's why I move them 24 hours after they have been laid! The guppies too. An soon, mollies as well!

As far as the mouths, I can't get close enough to see. I think I will just find an alternative, just to be safe! Thank you for your help!

I can see that mental image and it sure ain’t pretty

The efficiency of big Mean Angel* was quite spectacular.

*Meaning he didn't even have to turn his dial to 2.

Yeah, I have 2 angels. The female is ruthless sometime!
