I have a few play fry and about 10 betta fry. Right now the betta fry are in a 10 gallon, and the 4 platy fry are in a guppy breeder trap thingy. The platy fry are probably twice as long as the betta fry, but would it be possible to put them into the 10 gallon? Also, does having the fry grow up in a little container stunt their growth?

No u shouild not do that because it is possible that the betta fry will pick on the other fry.And u might want to seperate your betta fry as soon as u can tell what sex they are or else they will kill each other.And i whouldnt no what u mean when u say stunt there growth.

i dont think anything would happen if u put them together i have adults of both species together right now, have been for almost a year, no problems there and, u only have to seperate aggressive males and females, u may get u males who like eachother, but if u want to keep those, u must be careful when moving them around, get a 1 gallon kritter keeper, and chase those 2 in at the same time, then move them to another tank, do not put them in a vase or anything smaller than a 5 gallon, it could cause them to become territorial, and then fight, the females can get along fine, but there are aggressive females out there, and those are the ones that need to be seperated, hope i helped

Well i decided to keep the platy fry adn the betta babies separated. But i am just worried that i will stunt the platies gorwth by having them in a guppy breeder!
