CalmedByFish Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I know most fish can go a week without food, but what about a pregnant ("gravid"?) livebearer? What's a smart limit for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanni Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I think you can fast them but I don't think it's a good idea. If you are leaving the fry in the tank, the guppy mom is gonna look at them like a nice bloodworm or something. If you were to fast it, you can fast a livebearer for about a week. Once again, I don't think it would be a good idea to actually fast a fish but if you were to do it, about 4-7 days is usually the limit for them before they start looking at each other like snacks.

I should have clarified. There are no fry yet - just pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
