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.

How many fry does a guppy produce in its lifetime?

Difficult question to answer, depends on the number of fry born each time and how long a guppy lives. Some guppies have only a few fry born while others can have 30 or more. Young smaller females will have fewer fry born and older larger females more. If you figure on 12 groups of fry born in a year (every 30 days on average) and 20 fry each time, you are looking at 240 fry each year.

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!


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!
