Pleasantly surprised to hear an Aussie accent!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Haha, I'm glad!

[@Shaggy474]

Lights are not optional. Guppy babies need long periods of light (10-12 hours) for proper spine development!

[@Earthengirl]

oh...maybe thats why one of my new batches of fry look like their spines are 70 degree angles

[@toguro5117]

I used to have a bunch of fry with awful back problems till i upgraded my lighting i run my light 16hrs a day

Thank you for that info.

[@dm5129]

Did not know that, thanks

[@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058]

I just started me a guppy tank so it's nice to know just how this works, I have some plants on the way I also have had a batch of fry & ended up with 35 on my 1st batch which I was surprised, I moved them to another tank as soon as I seen I had them in the main tank & they are doing really good. I have my lights on during the day, their water stays around 70-75 so I don't run a heater & so far so good, I'm doing this.

[@dm5129]

Had three females with one endler guppy. The females were placed in a separate tank once pregnant. Since then every female has given birth to several guppies, not once but two to three times. So the babies developed in batches and did not arrive all at once. Now that whole tank with the females is full of babies. They just crank those babies out left and right. Fun to watch the babies grow up.

[@geezed247]

Thanks for the advice as I just had little fry got loads of plants in the tanks so I'm hoping they dont get eaten. Keep up the good work buddy

[@kieranuk6007]

Thank you for Video - already new this, but good to make video for other people, I too love the floating breeding box very useful that it floats! One thing to mention that I went over to a net one for trials = useless because the net stretches and if not careful the mother can get below to the "safe" compartment. Also as with plastic breeding nox, Fry do swim up to the top with the mother, so can still be eaten, as you mentioned, the safest way is to remove the fry to a seperate tank which is what I will be doing :) TA

[@feltersnaatch4258]

Ch1ll ph Oh yes, some are very vicious!

[@Rainkit]

I would recommend getting a separate tank for your guppies, since beta can be aggressive to other colorful fish. If you have dull colored shrimp, you cab throw them in there. More colorful shrimp like cherries could become food.

[@delilix1284]

[@RexDogDelivers]

We are setting up 16x 10 gallons this week for Guppy Breeding. The plan is as soon as babies drop move the parents to a new tank and since we can not monitor tanks 24/7 give them lots of hiding places this way as fast as they are born they have a chance until we discover them and can rush the parents to a new tank. We talked last week about making a guppy tank then we bought out a fish store and well now we have random guppies so time to get them sorted and making babies. lol

[@rincewind007j]

[@flutterbydragonfly]

Leaving my fry in my tank have never worked out. I have a 15 gallon with c02 and lush plants but that’s not enough after about a week all the fry are gone

[@dylanminer3728]

Do you mean like gone dead or you don't see them ? Because if you don't see them it's because the parents ate them

[@george9lives]

Nice vid' and good advise but as guppy fry are quite sensitive to changes in water temperature and parameters I find it a better option to have a hatchery or nursery tank that pregnant females can be moved to from your main tank then use the same technique but move the mother fish out rather than the sensitive fry. Any thoughts?

[@aquariumfunwithfish2599]

Or 3, catch prego in breeder box, transfer box with guppy to other tank, wait till delivery is complete, and replace female to original tank, fry in the other. Leave female in breeder box for a couple days to rest up and feed.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

aquariumfun withfish I might give that a try, thank you!

[@mikef3300]

That sounds like a great idea. I recently set up a 40 gallon breeder with lots of plants and guppies and a 20 gallon long with plants to use as a grow out tank. I never thought about placing the female into the 20 to let her give birth then returning her to the 40 I guess I could only do this once though and I have 8 females with three males

Also the gravid spot will become quite dark prior to birth.

[@standejong1500]

Nice video. But I do have to make some remarks that guppies as such don't always eat their fry. It depends more on the nature of each individual specimen wether it will eat the fry or not. Guppies do well also around 20°C. Despite of the fact that guppies in the wild are coming from tropical countries, they do have a subtropical nature. That why they can be released in regions where it's less warm.

How do you take out the female from the breeder box ? The female guppy died after I took her out from the breeder box. Any suggestions on what I should have done

She probably just died from stress, I would just be more careful the next time you do it. Maybe someone else has some better advice? You can check the keepingfishsimple facebook group as well if you have any more questions 😄 thank you for watching!

[@PvtJoker308]

Is the tank cycled? Nitrite poisoning can have that effect. Your fish is doing what it would in a low oxygen environment, but only because it doesn't know what else to do. Test your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.

[@louisl5086]

PvtJoker308 thank you for your reply. yes it has been cycled.. every time ive done a test with a test strip nitrite levels have been clear with nitates being very low. i got some neon tetras with the same guppies and i still have all neon tetras (6) all my guppies died within 2 weeks

she is probably already pregnant, but in a couple months you will have lots! just make sure you have lots of places for the fry to hide in!

If you want to breed, could you have about 8 guppies (both genders) in the same tank and have babies? And also will the other fish eat the fry?

Rylin Clark I mean anything will work. But the males might stress the females out. Just make sure you have plenty of hiding places for fry and they should survive.
