Daniel Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Most fish larger than guppies will eat baby guppies so you have a lot of choices. My personal current new favorite is sparkling gouramis. They don't get very big, but they are constantly on the lookout for movement and food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yes, most definitely, but only small ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcalberto Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I honestly don't think you'll be able to find a fish that will eat baby guppies, but not shimplets. Maybe (and that's a big maybe) some very top dwelling fish (like hatchet fish) might be more inclined to prey on baby guppies, since they usually hang towards the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I figured they could pick at the shrimplets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
