GUPPY FRY AND MOLLY FRY - Aquarium Advice

jsdbdca · 09-25-2003, 02:40 PM

About a week and a half ago my molly had babies, then this past weekend 3 more mollies had babies. Last night my guppy had babies. Now my question is would you or could i put the guppy fry in the grow out tank with the molly fry.

Any opinions would help, thanks

Sure. No problems there. Why do think they wouldn't be compatible?

No problems there. The sooner they get used to each other, the better. I gave a few baby guppies to a friend who added them to young mollies and the guppies have grown up much quicker than mine that are still in the floating tank and are friendly with the mollies. However the young mollies where initially frightened of the younger mollies

EDIT
However the young mollies where initially frightened of the younger , smaller guppies. True

I wasn't sure if the mollies would pick on them or not. I have about a "hundred" molly but only 9 guppies, So i am more worried about the Guppies

They are babies they don't know who to dislike yet.

No problem putting guppy and molly babies together.

I currently have about 13, 3 week old molly fry with 5, 1 week old platy fry. They get along just great. I am assuming the same would be true in your situation.
