Separating Blue Gold Guppies

[Patrick_G]

I've had success raising Cherry Barbs, Swordtails and Guppies in my 75 gal but these little Japan blue gold guppies are so small that the fry seldom survive. I decided it was time to pull a batch and see if I have a better survival rate in a separate tank. I pulled 14 last night and they're currently in a three gallon. They'll stay there while I make space for them in a bigger tank. I added a pic of dad so you can see what they'll look like.

Wow that is a nice looking fish right there.

the other fish must find blue and gold extra tasty. a few weeks to put on some size should greatly increase the survival rate.

 When my swordtail fry started getting big the guppy fry disappeared. Probably not coincidence.

Those look like my ginga sulphureus fry--tiny! Some of my larger guppies are born looking like these guys at two weeks old. I hope they grow big and safe for you, they are really a good looking strain.
