 | this is probably going to sound SO dumb... |
gartenzwerfe  Big Fish Mrs. Racso To Be Posts: 375 Kudos: 628 Votes: 199 Registered: 20-Mar-2004   | Would any of you risk putting hours old guppy fry in a breeding net with 6 sparkling gourami fry (smallest being ~1/2 inch, largest ~3/4 inch)? Do you think they'd get eaten, or do you think they'd be ok? After a CRAZY day at work, I don't trust myself to be thinking clearly  Thanks! |

Hooktor Fish Addict Posts: 646 Kudos: 651 Votes: 67 Registered: 22-Mar-2004 | I know this sounds like a pretty mean approach, but i would try it out becuase i am sure the guppies will get eaten in the tank (unless there are millions of plants) but they might survive in the guppy net. And by the way, it is not a dumb question, i have become so dependent on fp i can never make a desicion without input! lol....  |

| djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003 | Yeah, I'd rather the gouramis eat the guppies than the other way around! Guppies pop out every few weeks. Gouramis are picky, and sparkiling are extremely rare 'round these parts! |

| gartenzwerfe Big Fish Mrs. Racso To Be Posts: 375 Kudos: 628 Votes: 199 Registered: 20-Mar-2004 | Well I put all the gups in the net with the gouramis. I tried it out with just a couple of them, and let them be for a night and a day. Nothing happened, so I added the rest. So far, so good |
