![]() | No guppy babies |
jenbabe256![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Big Fish Posts: 316 Kudos: 312 Votes: 10 Registered: 21-Jul-2004 ![]() ![]() | This is more out of curiosity than anything because I don't really want to be overrun with guppies anyways, but I have 3 (2 girls and a boy) guppies in a ten gallon with 4 cories. They have been in this tank for over 4 months and I have yet to see one baby. The females will get bigger and I'll think that soon I will see some fry, but then one day I will look in the tank and they will be back to normal size. Is something eating all of them? Am I doing something wrong? I thought these guys were supposed to be prolific breeders. TIA Jen |

If it allows for space between individual rocks, there could be fry hiding in there. Otherwise, I'd count on them being eaten. |

Mr![]() Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003 ![]() ![]() | There could be a couple of problems first one being is the male is not breeding with the females(it has happened to me). The babies could be in there and none of them escape the other fish in the tank. |
