Now, as has been said, other fish (including the guppies) will appreciate the snack. ]:\| Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

I'm working on a color/patter strain; culls and extras go into my SA cichlid tank Depending on what size tank you're thinking of keeping them in I've found angels and gouramis to be very good at fry control. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
