Abou t the baby guppies

Question
How long do the baby guppies have to stay in a breaders net.

Answer
Hi Rosalind;

They need to be big enough that the other fish can't eat them. If the babies can fit into the other fishes' mouths, they are too small. They may not be able to grow much in the little net. It is really only big enough to protect them until you can move them to another tank of their own to grow.
