How long should you keep your baby guppies in a separate tank?

Answer 1

Signs of pregnancy are a large belly, a boxy-look from the front view, and a darker gravid spot, the spot, under the fish's tail. Near the day of delivery the gravid spot becomes darker and you can sometimes see eyes of the unborn fry as tiny black dots. Female guppies can drop fry every 4 weeks.

Answer 2

Baby guppies are a favouite food of many species of fish. If they are small enough for the other fish to eat them, then they will inevitably be eaten. Just use your common sense and powers of observation.

Best answer:

I've been told that at 6 months is best for the guppies safety. But if you want to let them out earlier, make sure there is plenty of places for them to hide. I.E Plants

Answer 3

There is no specific time at which you should separate a gravid female fish (Guppy) from its companions, or move it from its usual tank. It is entirely up to you. I would separate any female I particularly wanted young from as early as possible in order to give her time to get used to her new surroundings. Livebearers can hold onto their young if they are upset or freaking about something. So moving a female guppy close to parturition is sometimes counter productive.

Answer 4

When they reach the size of your face. When they get that big, leave them in the big tank for 1-2 weeks and feed them three times a day. Then when they look fat enough, throw them on the spit and eat those mofos.
