Different people have different answers. I say when about half an inch at the least. That's when they get their adult colors.

Where to put your guppy fry when born?
put the guppy fry in a different tank because the adult guppies will eat them
I have got about 5 platys and 4 guppys in my community tank. Can i put my pregnant guppy into my separate fry tank when i already have fry in the tank will the pregnant guppy eat the other fry?
If the fry are small enough to be eaten by the female guppy then she will eat them. If your community tank is well planted and you have plenty of hidey holes that the fry could hide in but the other adult fish can't enter, then the fry would have a better chance of survival out of the breeding/fry tank. You could also buy another livebearer breeding trap they are very cheap. _______________________________________________________________________ Ya that right they are but you have to remember that what she said is true!
How do you save guppy fry from getting eaten?
Put them in a separate tank.
Baby fry male guppies?
Yes. If he can catch them and swallow them he will. If you wish to keep and rear a few guppy fry then you should use a spare aquarium and have no fish in it except for the gravid female. Once she has had the young she should be removed too because she also will eat the fry. The babies(fry Whatever) will be hard to remove, so put the pregnant female in a tank that you want for the fry. good luck!
How old do your guppy fry have to be in order to put them in the main tank?
Your guppy fry don't have to be one size, they have to be big enough so that other fish won't eat them. If you have any small fully grown fish then I think your guppy fry should be ok if they're that size. If you see any fish trying to eat them put them back in the breeding tank until they're a bit bigger.
Will guppy fish eat their young?
Yes so you need to put the baby fish (fry) in another container.
How do you breed a guppy?
Put a female and a male in a tank together with a few plants for the babies to hide in as the parents will eat them and wella young fish DIFFERENT PERSON'S ADD ON :) i would not put them in with the parents. Make sure to put the fry in a separate floating container. Then take the female out and put her back into the separate community waters after she has finished giving birth. Then you can just take the guppies and put them in a smaller (1 gallon half filled) tank. Now you don't have to worry about the guppy fry being eaten at all.
How do you know if your guppy is pregnate?
If there is a female guppy and a male guppy in a tank you can almost guarantee the female will be gravid ( pregnant ).
Do guppy lay egg?
No, guppies are livebearers which means they have live babies (called guppy fry). The females and males will eat them once they are born, but some will live by hiding or if you put them in a breeding trap.
Why doesy male guppy have ripped fins?
it could be that other fish are fin nipping or it could be fin rot i would recommend that you put him in another aquarium or large bucket with a heater and also put aquarium salt in the water the salt protects him from infections. hope that it helps.
What should you do if you have a pregnant guppy and all the fish keep bothering it?
If you wish to keep the fry you should put her in a different tank or use some kind of livebearer trap for her to have her young in.
