Buster, my female guppy is pregnant and looks like she is going to pop! and im worried that she might drop her fry tonight... I dont have a breeder box (i dont like them!) and i dont really want to put the other two guppies in with the platies because they tend to nip there pretty tales, i want to slim the chances of most of the fry being eaten by the adults... I have a normal medium size rectangular mesh net....
Is there anything i can do to help the fry survive (with the net maybe)?
Also would a 4cm bristle nose catfish eat the fry?
And is it true when the mother gives birth she goes through a phase were she isnt hungry? <---- i have heard alot of yes and no's to that question
