Well, would neon tetras eat guppy and platy fry?
I have a school of 10 neons, and was thinking they would add some color to my fry tank. Do you think they would eat newborn guppy and platy fry??
How bout some several days to weeks old?
Please let me know.

they'll definately try to eat new borns - anything small that moves quick is in their micro-predator range...but they won't be able to handle week-olds, i think - gettin a bit too big for them!

Sure, Neons will eat new born Guppy fry. Don't trust them, or you'll finish up with no fry.
