    Thanks @Irma
    I am glad I remove the male, he was eating all the other fry. I am sure of that. I did not think the females would drop so soon. My petshop guppies are FAT and still they had not drop yet. But luckily I got fry... even if it is not much. And perhaps there are more... but time will tell.

    Can I put the three guppy fry with three week old betta fry? Or is it best to have them on their own?

    as for guppies nt holding still for pics, try and take some pics during the night or early morning when you first put the light on, my guppies tend to "rest" on the floor of the tank when the lights are off and if im lucky i can get some great shots of them as soon as the light comes on.

    So today my enlders drop some fry, I am really glad about that.
    And if that is not all my ATFG guppies also drop fry! And it has not been two weeks since they drop their last fry. I saw one fry in the tank and in a rush I remove the male. After looking around I found three more fry! now i have four. :bigsmile: The females are still fat so maybe they will drop more fry.

    Great - but now you must be fast to remove the fry as even the females will eat the fry. I had one female that as she was dropping would turn around and eat the baby!

    thanks @Irman the fry are removed and in their own tank away from their hungry parents. I am keeping an eye on the females in case they drop some more fry.

    I guess it was bad genes or water quality. I have four surviving betta fry and over 14 ATFG guppy fry.

    Congratulations! I know you were hoping for more betta fry but I'm just glad for you that they spawned and 4 fry is still way more than 0!

    Your guppies seem to be doing really well. How are the endlers coming along?

    The endler`s are doing fine. Sometimes there are lots, then there are fewer then there are lots again.
    I have another betta pair in a breeding tank. I am hoping they spawn and the four surivive.

    @Guppymania a few strains were imported some time back, and some of the guys still have some of them.

    Hi There,

    Sorry but I have stopped breeding.
    You can check with Dorry Pets. They have a supplier in Thailand that breeds the ATFG guppies.
