I have a guppy that is ready to drop any day now but is in a community tank.

I have a 5 gallon already set up, heavily planted (plastic) but has a few tetras in it. WIll the tetras eat the guppy fry?

More than likely depending on which tetras they are. If the fry will fit in their mouths they will give it a go!

The mother guppy will eat her own fry, too. As long as you're watching, you'll be able to save a few. It's a blessing, though - you'll be overrun within two months even if you only catch three this time around.

I hope to get over run haha. I have a local guy who owns his own pet shop. Once i saw my gup was preggo I went and had a chat with him. Buck a fish he told me. Needless to say i currently have a 20 gallon and 2 10s cycling waiting on a few gups

neons and glolites aren't going to pose much of a problem for guppy fry, especailly if they're well fed.
