I added a female guppy to my tank with 1 male guppy and some ghost shrimp. A week went by and my male guppy got beat up and eventually died. (Previous post in unhealthy fish section)
Well two days ago I noticed a tiny little guppy fry hiding in my moss. My question is how long does it take for the fry to develop? The female was only in my tank with the male for about 6 days before he died. Is that enough time for the fry to develop? Or was the father from another tank? I'd say the fry is about 5mm long now. It is in my 10g with only ghost shrimp and the mother. Should I remove the mother?
Unfortunately I don't have another tank to put the fry in. Any suggestions? I did see it eat some flake foods that I crushed up and sunk the bottom (where he has been hiding).
Thanks in advance!
