here is how i raise fry from my pigmy guppies:
-place guppies of both genders in my community tank along with all kinds of fish like rams, rainbows, tetras, danios, SAE, etc.
-feed all the fish
-keep feeding
-notice the female went from really fat to skinny
-notice fry
-feed fish as normal and see fry grab food as it snags in the hornwort
-see fry grow and start to swim around un-afraid
-see fry develop into their genders
-see the 2nd generation make the 3rd generation, all in the 20L

livebearers are not fish that need to be bred. the just need to be allowed to breed themselves.
