@@AquariumCoop hey Cory, I’ve had this idea of doing guppies and then only female mollies in a 20 gallon long. Do you think that due to keeping the mollies female only, that they won’t be hostile towards the guppies? Or will I still run into issues? I plan to keep it planted, mainly with jungle Val plus driftwood and river stone.

I’ve been into fish a while now but this video may have helped my daughter be more interested in the guppies she has. With any luck she will get that long term goal of seeing them grow up-seeing the fruits of her labors. Kids are all about the instant gratification anymore.

Great content! Selecting for traits can be challenging, but it's definitely rewarding. I’ve found that focusing on one trait at a time makes it easier to work toward your goal and helps make progress more attainable. Have you thought about making a video on the different resources available to learn about guppy traits? I think it would be really helpful!

Loved this! Also, completely unrelated, my humpbacked limias slowly whittle away on algae too. Not as much as a rosy barb or a molly, but I brought in my algae covered filter from my pond and threw it in their tank, and over the next few weeks they picked it clean.

Guppies are one of my favorites. I am always learning from them, about them. I actually try for about 5 females to one male when breeding. USA

When I had a guppy colony, I crushed up NLS flakes and crushed some mbuna pellets by Ron’s and mixed it all up and that worked great. I had jungle Val and water hyacinth with Argonite substrate.

It is very important to have LOTS of live plants for the females when they have their babies. Also, females like another female or two in the tank. No males at birthing time. I put the males together in another tank. I feed the pregnant fIemales a lot in smaller amount during the day. Plus, all guppies like plenty of sleep time. I try not to startle them with instant bright light by using a soft light nearby to start with. I find guppies to be very sensitive. Mine know my face. Often, the females will wait til I am present with the food to start having their babies. Eating their granules seems to help their giving birth. I feed their girl roommates in another part of the tank so they will leave Mama some privacy. Amazing fish.

Would I be able to use plastic plants? I have a 20g long I’m setting up with some driftwood, plastic plants and a SpongeBob pineapple. I haven’t had fish since I was maybe 6-7 years old, I know I want Co tried for sure, but if guppies need live plants maybe I should think of other species. Any advice is appreciated

@sharonjack8582 16 күн бұрын

@@pitsnpistols1005 Honestly, I don't use ANY plastic plants anymore. The LIVE plants work as natural filters and really help the water quality. I use plants like Vallisneria and the broad leaf plants like the sword plants. Some anacharis and anubia also. Floating plants are nice too. I don't use Co2, just enough air bubbles and the over the side filters. I feed granule fancy guppy food. I give them about 5 hours of light a day, sometimes a little more. They DO like their sleep/dark time. I also try not to shock them awake with intstant bright light, by slowing turning on adjacent lights. Healthy guppies are energetic guppies. I do a 1/3 to 1/2 water change when needed, if they seem sluggish. I read my tanks like a book, lol. I LOVE fishes, especially guppies, Bettas. and 4 inch plecostamuses. I also have ramshorn snails which do a great cleanup. Excited for you!!!

My last guppy just died and he was just about five years old. I got a bunch when I moved into my home, and they have been living with my water turtle the whole time. They boomed to about 60ish in numbers at their peak two years ago with the CPD's and cory's. My cory's are ten + and just spawned. I don't know if I should get more guppies, it's so sad seeing the tank empty of them.

I have sort of a mental block/anxiety when it comes to guppies, heard too many stories of how they overpopulate and are hard to manage without aggressive culling. Ive since only been keeping males, but realistically how much of an issue is overbreeding?

@mish3595 2 ай бұрын

@@AltarenGalil Look if you have adult fish, they do eat some of the tiny babies. unless you save them or have lots of hiding spots. There is a possibility they could over breed. i wouldn't be able to cull them. So I keep my males and females seperate for the most part.

@girrl88 2 ай бұрын

Overbreeding can be a big issue. I bred guppies for about 1.5 years and, for me, it was a nightmare. The babies would hide in the plants so they were harder for the adults to find and eat and I didn't have the heart to cull them. I started off with a few in a 10 gallon tank. By the time all was said and done I was running 4 10 gallon tanks and they were all overpopulated. I wouldn't do it again but watching the mother give birth to live little babies was super cool.

My bro tip if you do guppies don’t do them indoors . Do them in outside just like more of the pros do . Free food all day for them the fry grow faster than even in being in a fry rack . I did guppies and live bearers inside but not anymore only outdoors in the heat
