It is possible for guppies to eat small fish after giving birth, but they may not eat all the small fish. Because the amount of their reproduction is relatively large, the parent fish usually only catches a part of the small fish and eats them, but cannot eat all the small fish. Breeders who want to prevent them from eating small fish can install a partition net when they breed, so that small fish can fall into the bottom of the tank through the partition net.
Can guppy fish eat all the small fish after being born? How to deal with it after being born 1. Will guppy eat all the small fish after giving birth to them

guppy may eat the small fish after giving birth to them, because guppy has no habit of protecting the small fish, and its physical strength is exhausted after production, so it is in urgent need of a lot of food to supplement its physical strength. But they don't eat all the small fish, because first of all, they breed in large quantities, and the female fish can't eat all the small fish in general.

Secondly, female fish prey on small fish only to supplement their physical strength. When they are full, they will not continue to prey, so they generally do not eat all the small fish they produce. When breeders breed guppies, they can install a partition, so that small fish can fall to the bottom of the fish tank through the partition net, so that big fish can avoid eating small fish.

2. How to deal with guppies after they are born

1. Parent fish: After guppies are produced, their physical exertion is too great. Breeders need to fish out the parent fish immediately and put them in a separate tank for breeding. And feed them a lot of food, which can speed up their recovery. Wait for them to live in a separate fish tank for about a week, and then put them back into the original tank.

2. Small fish: Small fish are newborn and have poor adaptability to the environment. Breeders should not transfer them to other places, and it is better to breed them in breeding tanks for a period of time. In the first three days of their birth, the breeder does not need to feed them. Try not to change water in the first 7 days of birth.
