Thanks for the input! I agree that they seem to grow much better and quicker when they are not in isolation. I really think they are social creatures and with only one little fry, I'm afraid the stress of being alone will slow his growth and makes him more "jumpy". But I could be putting too much emotional attachment to my fish!? (Can you blame me? ) I really love my guppies!
