I would save the "waste" water to use for watering my plants. The amount of nitrogen is perfect for fertilizing most flowering plants. The African violets bloomed like crazy!

I have clients that whenever I do a water change, keep the water for their plants. They really like the results. It's also free and better fertilizer.

Great vid but one small grip i gotta point out on your comment on 2 types of keepers experienced or learning: everyone who keeps fish be it 1 day or 40 years is still learning how to keep them. the day i claim to know everything is the day i prove i know nothing. :P

For my 10 gallon guppy tank water changes, I do about 30% every week, and de-chlorinated water is added over a course of 4-5 hours to ensure my fish doesn't go into a shock. Usually what I do is I grab those cheap plastic basket from walmart for like 2 dollars, and have the water mixed with small amount of salt and de-chlorinated chemicals over night, and change water after morning feeding. I have 10 adult guppies (f/m mix), 3 ghost shrimps and a Otocinclus Catfish. Tank is not planted but I have a HOB 100gph filter and a 10 gallon sponge filter which shares a 10 gallon air pump with my 5 gallon breeder tank (so it is a bit under powered).

Do you always add salt? It's not really needed unless your fish are sick or something. You have a great system going though. My water changes are all done at once and not over a period of time. I add the de-chlorination directly to the tank and then fill straight from the tap. Been doing this for 5+ years with no issues.
@dingzhuxi
@dingzhuxi 8 жыл бұрын
Home Aquatics yeah I always do. I usually adds about 1/4 spoon of salt for ever 3 gallons of water and for breeding tank, it will be 1/2 spoon of salt for every 3 gallons of water. I do it over a period of time is just to be on the save side. I will add 1/2 of 3 gallons initially and after 2 hours i will add the other 1/2 into the tank.

I have an outdoor plastic pond with lot and lot of floating plant. let my guppy and platty lost and control their population themselves. No water change only top up. The do grow pretty slow because I barely feed them they forge for bug and live off algae. What I notice is adult max out much smaller than indoor fish where we artificially feed them daily.

I have a few tanks, by May 2022 I'll be in the hobby for 1 year. Still learning. I have slightly over 200 fish, 47 different species. All doing great, except I struggle with guppies. I also do 50% water changes weekly clean filters every two months. My local shop mentioned I should clean filters every 3 months. I buy 10 guppies male female mix add to quarantine tank no medicine or salt just as is. Quarantine tank has some plants in and hiding place. By the end of the week I only have about 3 maybe 4 guppies of the 10 left. I bought form 3 different places around me which is the best suppliers we have close to me. With all the same result. Sometimes I have a few fry but the adults keep dying. What can it be. I'm buying guppies now on a weekly basis to get stock levels right. Some channels and websites talks about inbreeding and bad strains, brackish water where they might come from. Should I add salt to my tank to ease them into my water?

Fastest easiest way to cycle a tank is with fish in it, the bottle of pre start bacteria isn’t great and won’t start a cycle because without ammonia being introduced the bacteria can start and turn into nitrite and eventually into nitrate. Don’t get a 30gal tank and put 30 fish in it rather get a couple who will be residents and put them in the tank once water is treated and don’t add any chemicals to remove any ammonia or nitrite and do a 10-15% water change weekly and after a week test and see if you need to change more water to get the nitrate out and within a 2 months the tank will be cycled and within that 2 month time frame add a couple fish each week till fully populated to keep ammonia spikes down

Hey Jorge! Great info! How did you arrive at 10% WC weekly as a minimum? I do WC based on what the nitrate level is. As an example I change 10% in my 450 gallon system daily, I do more if the nitrate level reaches 30 PPM. Which is rare.
@HomeAquatics
@HomeAquatics 8 жыл бұрын
Smaller water changes like that help keep your parameters steady but at the same time keep you from shocking your fish with new water chemistry. I was told this by an old aquarium veteran when I first started years ago who sadly passed away a few years ago. If nothing is wrong with your parameters then 10% wont do much of a difference. If your water parameters are a little off the 10% can help correct that until you realize that you have an issue in your tank. Not sure if I explained it well lol.

Many months ago I added a new gup female to my tank after 2 weeks in quarantine and this guppy gave my other ones the red bristle parasite (can't remember the name). It was horrible because it took the worms 2 months to start showing themselves. She even had 3 fry which are grown now and doing fine luckily. The store was great and offered to replace my entire community, I declined because I don't want them inbred. I just wanted to let others know about the parasite that looks like reddish bristles coming from the anus, it was horrible! I have had fish over 20 years and never had this until now. New sub, like the channel.

I have a 2.5 gallon tank with 3 female (small) guppies. The Guppies seam happy. Swimming all around and playing in the filter bubbles. I have two questions. 1) should I add a snail or/and a ghost shrimp? 2) If I cut the light off they tend to stay at the top of the tank. Do I need to keep the lights on all the time?

Question: I have a new tank and 3 new guppy, all male. I am a true beginner. 2nd day with new fish. One of the fish has remained on bottom of tank in a corner and refuses to swim around like the other two and uses it's tail to push away the other fish. Is it frightened, sick ? Two came from one tank at the store and the hiding guppy came from another tank of males. No, I did not cycle the tank beforehand as I was unaware to do so. Ran the filter for 2 days before hand and put conditioner in also followed by fish.

I used to have a 10 gallon tank when I first jumped into the hobby. I did this alone with no help nor advice from anyone in the family except for my older sister that insisted my platies didnt need a heater horrible advice I know. I had 4 platies in there, 2 females 2 males, I had no idea about the nitrogen cycle, ph levels, water pumps, all that stuff. All I had were 3 plastic plants and a squidward house (cave) with a little junk filter I found at a yard sale. I had no idea what to do with the fry and they were all eaten and it was all just a bad turn out as 1 got stuck behind the filter and the last 3 died of Ick which I unfortunaley had no knowleadge of what it was at the time. A few months later I was given an unwanted pair of small comet goldfish from my ex that won them for me at the fair and had kept them in his 50 gallon but pretty much threw them in my tank and left becuase he was all mad and stuff (I wont go into that much) I had them for about 2 years and they just got to big and I was too scared they were unhappy and I wasnt even happy doing so many water changes (remember I still didn't have live plants just the icky plastic ones.) I was finally able to give them away to my sister's boyfriend who owns a MASSIVE 150 tank and they are now happy in his community tank. That was about 2 weeks ago and I have done TONS of research within those 2 weeks becuase I have time to waste since I'm on thanksgiving break for school and stuff. I finally feel ready to start a REAL tank that I know what I'm doing with, I'm getting a 20 gallon from a friend soon as a Christmas gift. I am planning on doing a community tank with fancy guppies (2 females per male to prevent abuse) cardinal tetras, and I'll go from there. I'm still researching on plant life and recommendations would be fantastically appreciated. Thankyou for reading this I know It was long.

I don’t know about doing two males or a male and a female in a 3.7 gallon tank but if you do the male and female and they reproduce then you can separate the fry and raise them in a separate tank until they are old enough or you can let your guppies eat the fry so that you don’t have to worry about them

Great video very informative! I had a 20 long with male and female fancy guppies. With a ton of Java Moss in the tank with them. I started with 3 females per male. I put 4 pairs in the 20 long!! in about a months time I had an explosion of Fry fancy guppies and red cherry shrimp!!! Ended up feeding the fancy guppies to my 3 Diamondback Terrapin Turtles... to downsize the population of the tank! I was at one point changing out the water by 50% or more 2 times daily... lol!! At one point I had over 80 fancy guppies in the 20 long... not ideal at all!! But I thoroughly enjoyed them and the maintenance!! :) :p I just wanted to give people an idea how crazy the guppies can breed!!

great video! Very informative and descriptive. ;D Question; i have gourmai in my tank but i am breeding guppies in there too. It is a 10 gallon with a log hide, big fake plant, tiny terra cotta pot, and a bridge. There are also 4 guppies in there (including my 1 fry.) I was wondering if i would have to give away my gourmai to make room for future fry? (now dont get me wrong i LOVE all the fish i own especially my gourmai; i even named them all! :p)

I see you keep shrimp with guppies. Do you lose baby shrimp? I have shrimp and put two baby endlers (sold as guppies) and had my neon yellow caridina breed in it. Also is your opinion if I remove substrate I can control detritus worms? I underfed my shrimp and deep suction gravel up to 2 times per week as soon as I see malm on the substrate. I'm about to just quit substrate altogether

Hey! love your video. I have a 75gallon how many guppies, platys can I have in that? I currently have 8 guppies and 6 platys in my 75gallon. mix sexes. I have owned larger cichlids in the past as well as ornate bichirs, and other exotic fish but never small fish and my tank is cycled. I also have a 55 gallon, 40 gallon and two 5 gallon tanks currently being used for other fish except my 40 gallon.

my Guppies always die off on me :( I don't know why - my water parameters are great and all my neon fish, shrimp and snails are happy! The only guppy that survived has a broken spine but is otherwise super happy and healthy! Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Is it because I got them from a commercial fish store maybe? EDIT: Could it be too much flow?

My baby shrimp tend to hide in the java moss and those mats I made until they are large enough to not be eaten. As long as you have a lot of hiding spots they will be fine.

Yes. You still have to do the cycle if it doesn't have some of it's old cycled water in it. It just won't take as long.

I have a 10 gallon tank with 12 neon tetras, 4 fancy guppies, 2 German blue Rams, 2 dwarf gouramies and 1 pleco. 30% water changes twice a week. Is that over stocked?
@HomeAquatics
@HomeAquatics 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, that seems like a lot of fish. Plecos have high Bioloads alone. I wouldnt keep anything more than the 12 neon tetras in there since they are small but they should be in a larger longer tank since they like to school. The 4 guppies would be perfect for a 10 gallon tank, anything else should have their own tank.

Jeyanth kalyan a lot of the times they are very stress especially if you have other fish on the tank. what I do is add some tap water conditioner (which is like 5$). This calms the fish down and lower the stress which is most likely killing the fish. You should also separate the guppy in a separate tank, unless its comfortable with the other fish. Hope I helped a bit
