Got 2 male guppies and 3 females and the buggers are at it already ;-)

How many fry should I be expecting from 1 female does anyone know round
abouts?


Depends on the size of the females, but 20 to 30 every month would not be
unreasonable to expect.



I have pulled some of the plastic plants out to let them float which I

hear
should give them a better chance of survival..


AFAIK, they typically start dropping them near the surface early in the
morning, but then might move around the tank as the day progresses.

I have 2 red finned sharks in the tank with a 4" Pl*co and some

swordtails
will everything be ok concerning the fry I mean the Pl*co shouldn't

give
them much trouble cuz he never comes out of hiding but it's the sharks

that
are worrying me


Swordtails do excellent Guppy crowd-control.


I don't want crowd control :-(
I want lots of colurful guppies swimming round...
I will have to keep my swordtails away then rather than the sharks then??
Does anyone know of a homemade erm baby guppy help to survive thingy like a
seperator so they can survive form the hungry mouths of my swordtails??
