 | guppies and eletric yellows! |
phisher Small Fry Posts: 3 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 12-Feb-2005   | i have 2 electric yellows and bout 12 guppies in a 15 gal tank, there is all sorts of plants and rocks and a piece of driftwood in the tank. and my guppies just had fry, there were about 12 - 15 fry and they were all alive for about 6 - 8 days and now there are only 2 left (9th day) and im wondering if the eletric yellows could have eaten them? the eletric yellows are only about 5 cm big... thanks |

If you want to successfully raise the guppy fry, you will have to remove the cichlids from the tank.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

Also a 15 gallon tank is really to small for those guys to be in they really need to be in a larger tank. |

It's better to find another tank for the Elec.Yellow. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
