Not sure if other guppies will eat the babies or not...just be sure they have plenty of places to hide...OR get a little baby container that hangs on the inside of the tank but separates the babies from the others.

I've been fortunate that no raccoons have discovered my little pond (I think there are people in the neighborhood who take it upon themselves to "eliminate" any raccoons).<BR/>I had another person tell me she has a great blue heron who discovered the goldfish in her pond (she lives in the country). She wasn't too happy about that either.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-7966581997339545182007-10-22T14:20:00.000-05:002007-10-22T14:20:00.000-05:00Love the goldfish.

I had some in a small water feature I have and the darned racoons ate them. :( I don't want to feed the racoons any more so no goldfish for me.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-30843099804553084732007-10-20T20:43:00.000-05:002007-10-20T20:43:00.000-05:00Hi Mom,The goldfish and guppies are in separate ta...Hi Mom,<BR/>The goldfish and guppies are in separate tanks--the guppies need warmer water, so they have a tank heater. I figured since the goldfish live outside from April to October, they should be OK if the water gets a little cooler.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm glad you're back on the "comments" page again too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mon@rch,<BR/>I can see where this fish thing could get a little addictive too. Squirrel's got a 20 gallon octagon tank that he's not using and he thinks it would be great for me to get it for my guppies and maybe some albino plecostamus he's raising now too.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mare,<BR/>My cat is so lazy, she just lays on her chair and watches the guppies and I don't think she's even noticed the goldfish yet!<BR/><BR/>Hi Maud,<BR/>That's what Squirrel tells me about the guppies too. I'm not sure what I'll do when the tank is overfilled with baby guppies...maybe goldfish food???<BR/><BR/>Hi Robin,<BR/>I seem to remember we had a tank full up guppies when I was a little kid too. It was always a big thrill seeing those baby guppies being born, but I don't remember what my dad did with them...probably a solution similar to your mom's.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne,<BR/>I think these fancy guppies are beautiful also. The males have such brilliant iridescence....they almost remind me a bit of the neon tetras. I'd like to get some swordtail guppies also, but Squirrel says some of them have gotten really pricey!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-76668527366368976132007-10-20T09:01:00.000-05:002007-10-20T09:01:00.000-05:00WOW, that is SOME fish!

Beautiful goldfish! Our godfish are not so lucky that they get out in a pond in summer, but they do still grow very much.

Goldfish are surprising, for sure - the eat and grow according to the space they live in. <BR/><BR/>I had sharks in an aquarium (4 inches in length). We went on a week vacation and came back to a very fishy smelling house. The cats had a field day while we were gone and ate them - left bits and pieces all over the place. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the guppies. They do multiply!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-10083040136891885552007-10-19T20:57:00.000-05:002007-10-19T20:57:00.000-05:00Sounds like Guppy heaven to me!

To bad you had to buy another aquarium. Guppies heh! Will the goldfish eat them now that they are bigger?
