Huh? A fry tank isnt a requirement, it will cut down on losses but you dont have to have one.

Well, if you are going to keep the two sexes together you obviously want to breed them so you'll probably want a fry tank. It isn't a requirement - but you usually lose a fair amount of fry without one.

Thats true, but most people unless they are planning on selling them, would not want to save all the fry lol... that would be hundreds of guppies! Also keeping a heavily planted tank and some floating plants will help cut down on losing fry, they will have more hiding spots and food =)

It really depends on how many you want to keep really.

Yep definitely lol

I have guppys in all of my tanks now. I really love them. Got 3 strains going. If you get LFS guppies then they need to be acclimated very slowly because they are stressed too much. Also try buying pregnant ones, the fry once born will not be as frail because they will be born in your tank. I still got acouple store mutts that im slowly selling off to the LFS then only strains i got from aquabid after that.
