Hi! I have recently purchased a very pregnant guppy. I do not have an extra tank or a breeding net. I want to see how the fry will fend for themselves on their own. I was wondering about how many will survive in a tankwith five adult fish. Also, I have a green spotted puffer that I think did or will lay eggs. When I came hoem I saw that the puffer was vey round and plump on its underside. I was not sure if it wasd going to lay eggs or if it was just puffed up. The following morning she was no longer plump. Can anyone help me on these two topics?

The guppy fry are going to get eaten by the adult fish. I would suggest getting a breeding net, unless you want the fry to get eaten. As for the puffer I am not sure.
