I had much better luck when males were left in with the females to chase them around. Then both the males were busy and the females were busy getting chased so they didn't bother to eat the fry. Hiding places like plants and decorations also help. Ghost shrimp rarely go after fry but it's not completely unheard of. Even if you have ghost shrimp take interest in the fry they rarely catch many so you'd only lose 1 or 2. |

Shrimp could/might go hunting at lights out for them Can you keep them (the fry) in a mesh holding fry container until they get a bit bigger. It is either that of place the adult Guppies into another tank If not add some floating Water Sprite to give the Fry some cover. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
