Raise the fry in the breeding trap on finely crushed flake until they are big enough not to beaten or, better still, place them in another aquarium to grow to a safe size before releasing them into the community tank. Females can store sperm from a male and use it to fertilize up to five or six future batches of eggs, so it is quite possible to have a female and no male and still have several broods of young guppies. Male guppies are very attentive towards females, so buy two or three females for every male or else the female may become worn out.
Young females may produce as fe was three or four fry, but older guppies may - and often do - drop more than100 fry at a go. Be sure to separate males from females as soon as possible to avoid a guppy plague.
