Fish_Frenzy Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 i was wondering if i can keep corydoras with newborn baby guppies without losing the guppies?also what other kind of bottomfeeders can i keep with baby guppies? How about some cherry or ghost shrimp instead? I have kept Cories with guppy fry and with their own fry and if you don't mind a few fry missing then Cories would be ok too. Shrimp are a good clean up crew and they will breed also...baby shrimps are soo cute too. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 When I was raising BN pleco fry, I had Cherry Shrimp in there to help clean up extra food - that tank bred so many Cherry Shrimp that I could scoop out a net-full every week to feed to my other fish... plus plenty to sell to other hobbyists!

krazy_Karma Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 All I have with my fry (guppies and platties) are one snowcloud feeder, and a snail or two...maybe more now...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Guppy fry are too big for Cherry Shrimp, besides CS are detritivores, they snack on leftover food and sometimes algae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
