    I have some guppy fry (if i can call them that)in my 100litre tank and they are about 1.5cm-2.5cm.
    what i am wondering is...will they get eaten by my full grown guppies if i put the grown ups back in with them????

    Java Moss ... fry saver for guppies. I no longer worry about when females give birth or what happens to the fry, but if you want to give fry a fighting chance have a nice clump or wall of java moss. What I have observed, the larger guppies ignore fry after a while - no matter how small they are - might take a few releases.

    I think they are called juveniles.
