Ged Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Guppies will eat fry but I think the bristlenose fry are too big for their mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelly Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 A very wise old fish keeper once told me......."there are 2 rules to keeping fish"1.Big fish eat little fish.2. There are no rules. very wise wordsi breed guppies and bns together but the bn fry numbers are always significantly less in a tank with guppies than in a tank without. They tend to nip at the new born fry until it dies rather than eat it whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm breeding BNs and Endlers in the same tank as shrimp - no babies get eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raycam01_au Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Never a truer word as in Part 2thats the real one there, i think your guppies will occasionally predate on the bn fry but as stated more so nipping them etc causing death on occassions. some of the bigger girls will certainly have a go, but that said if the tank is planted lots of hidey holes etc, i have had both species bred without concernHTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
