$$ Tips on How to Breed Guppies for Profit Aquarium fish Room VLOG $$

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Here are some tips and tricks I use to breed guppies that I sell on my website www.michaelsfishroom.com. Hope you like them!

[@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058]

them males are AWESOME I'd like to have like 3 of them I have plenty of females just need a new strain of males

[@bk2pla]

Pretty nice mixed mosaic guppies there! ; ) Yeah "They" say that the temperature doesn't matter, but when I forgot to turn on my heater for about 2-3 weeks after a water change, my red cobra guppy fry grew up 90% female. Now that I keep it on all the time, about 80*f, I'm getting LOTS more males now. Funny guy with the camera may be on to something.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Lol...the breeder of those guppies is pretty cool too!

[@shlakser]

Favorite guppy expert! Always a pleasure looking at your videos! Thank you!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks, but I’m just a dumb guy with a camera. Lol

[@SquiresAquatics]

Awesome video, very informative to the newbies for sure.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks so much!

[@notenoughtanks6553]

Great video! I know it is an older one, but wanted to say thanks for all you do!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@ScottMclaughlinJ]

Love the talks on how to profit while enjoying the hobby. Great video!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks Scott!

[@HeatherNielsenScarletAquatics]

LOL Easy Bake! Great info about the temp making a difference. I have a bunch of guppies growing out in a 55 gallon right now.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Lol

[@scinerd11]

Glad you clarified they were mutts at the end. I was so confused what the fish were supposed to look like. Makes more sense now.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Mutts are awesome!

[@RcOutreach]

Man I must say out of weeks of watching videos this was simply the most informative with out a lot of babbling of everything else you have going on in your life love the video! definitely will subscribe! I've been the guppy nerd since the early 80s after building fish ponds for people for the last 15 years I haven't had a tank setup or had time. I just recently picked up a 15 gallon nano tank and started back up a 65 tall and in trying to patiently wait for it to cycle but when it does I will hit you up for some fish! Keep up the good work and you're to the point videos thank you... I'm now a fan👊

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks! Good luck with the new tanks! What are you going to keep besides guppies?

[@RcOutreach]

Most likely some neon tetras. Although I don't see many people mingling them together these days? Also want to add some plants and have been researching it a little I have an undergravel filter as well as the back filter and a sponge filter in the 65 gallon tank so I might be limited because I've already put the under gravel in and have to figure out if I can put some small potted plants in there so I can still vacuum the gravel? You have any good tips on that?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I’ve never used an under gravel filter. But if you have the plants in pots you should be fine.

[@nicoletiana]

Thank you for sharing! im a new subscriber and i love all guppy videos you put out! hope all is well! thank you for these videos!! VERY HELPFUL!!!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks for watching!

[@carsonsaquariums]

Thank u so much this all makes sense now I got 2 males my last batch of fry and 22 females

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Again, I’m just a dumb guy with a camera....lol

[@carsonsaquariums]

😂

[@saraimata06]

I have a 60 gallon full of mollies guppies and platy and an 80 full of fry. I feed my fish 6-7 different foods everyday. And my tank is full of males. I pull out at least 2-4 batches of fry to put into the 80 gallon every other day. It's crazy!

[@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058]

what kind do you have? & where you located at?

[@TMAquatics]

I keep RREA Guppies as dither fish in one of my pleco tanks. The temp is 82F. I noticed I have been getting more males than when I kept them in a tank at 76F. 👍

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Boom! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@taylorcaudil8058]

I got guppy and swordtail breeding tanks, and do 50% every other day for water change plus 3 feedings a day and seems to be going well with the fry!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

If it works it’s right!

I should watch more of your videos, you're too funny.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Yes you should, and substitute, like and share too.

[@anthonyragan2696]

The mystery plant in the first tank (the floater you were asking about) is water wisteria, I'm pretty sure. Grows like a weed.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I think so too, but I always get confused!

[@vapordepositionmusic1901]

Yes it's definitely wisteria.

[@colinhamer6506]

this tank looks all most identical to the one I've set up for my daughter even the colours of the fish we are now selling them to are local fish shop your videos helped it happen thank you 🐡👍

I sure am!

[@echtwaarhe6417]

Very informative video! I need to get me some plants that float. You never have fish jump out? Or do you have a lit?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

It happens rarely. But that is why I keep my water level lower in the tanks.

[@andray9415]

Great video Michael. Do you have problems with female guppies nipping the males fins? I'm breeding black Moscow guppies and recently my males guppies have their tales nipped. I've put it down to the females as its a guppy only tank and have treated for fin rot just in case. Thanks

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks and thanks for watching! I don’t have issues with fin nipping. Are there plenty of hiding spots?

[@jayjaythegamer3164]

Great videos you are my goto guppy guy for sure

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Thanks Chris! How many tanks do you have?

[@jayjaythegamer3164]

Michael's Fish Room 6 now just started a guppy bristlenose tank in search for a good male have nice female now

[@Irishhamsterman]

Hey Michael, I don't know if you read old comments. But worth a try! Do you ever go higher than 80F to get more males than females? Or do you find they get too hot and you start getting losses? Thanks!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Nope I have tried up to 84. They are ok at that temp, but I didn’t see anymore males than at 80-81

[@Irishhamsterman]

[@famousamos]

Do you find more success in breeding them indoors or letting nature take its course through outdoor tubs?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I have a short outdoor season, only 2-3 months so indoor.

[@MrGrombie]

Here in Florida, they breed in Home Depot buckets outside. Lol

[@scottwatson8630]

Love it. Subscribed! I have a 10 gal breeding guppies and rcs. Working well. I don’t have any grow out tanks at the mo yet. Plenty of plants etc for fry to hide in. Any tips if you don’t have the luxury of moving fish around? I’m in the process of building a 450 litre which will free up my 200 litre.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Tips for grow outs? Use a 5g bucket if you have too!

Nice video Mike, hope all is well!

Thanks bro!

Lol "cause they are tender and delicious"😂

[@SecretlySeven]

You know anything about convict cichlids or someone active that you can suggest. I was saddled with three in a rescue sort of situation and I need to understand their aggression towards each other and how to mitigate it.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I know they are cichlids and all cichlids have aggression. You need hiding spots and site breaks. I don’t do Africans, so I don’t know many KZbinrs that do, sorry.

[@SecretlySeven]

@@MichaelsFishRoom Thank you for your reply.

[@CrowntailHalfmoon]

Thx Michael Can you do a video on your water changes system? Build and execute

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Check my video's....search for Auto Water Change system

[@augustvukosovich4683]

I have tons of fry in my guppy tank too. I also feed repashy and overfeed like crazy. I do water changes three times a week because I have to do it manually lol. Have you noticed that when the guppies are used to seeing a ton of fry they don't eat them as much? That's what I've noticed.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

I’ve never noticed, but I’ve never really thought about it either. Lol🤔

[@BritneyStinson]

what are your thoughts on putting guppy fry in one of those 1 gallon betta prisons from walmart. do i need a heater? I think a heater in those might burn up my babies since i live in florida and the ambient temp is pretty warm, even inside with the ac. i was thinking just a smol sponge filter and some itty bitty plans? what do yall think? thanks luvs

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

If the ambient temp is 72 or more, I don't think you need a heater. LOL@ Betta Prison.

My guppy is 22 days preggers today, but I'm seeing no sign's of dropping?? This is her 2nd drop since I've had her... I've purposely bred, and timed this for a specific breed... how can I speed this up? Help me Mike!

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Take it out for a long walk then.....well you know.....do it.

[@dye477]

Ha!! Lol yeah I don't think that's going to do it.. should I turn up the heat a bit?? Any ideas?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Make sure she feels safe and has plenty of hiding spots. It can take 28 days or longer for her to drop.

[@dye477]

Ok thank you!! Should I raise the temp a bit?

[@vb2377]

Do you reccomend northfinusa krill formula or their stuff? Is their smallest granule small enough for guppies?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Hiya! I use Northfin from www.supercichlids.com and no it is not small enough unless you use the fry starter. I use a pepper mill to grind it.

[@vb2377]

Michael's Fish Room Does the adults eat the fry starter?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Yup

[@lifeisfishy1416]

Michael's Fish Room I thought fry starter was a powder? Doesn't adult guppies ignore small foods? Can I keep my adult guppies and fry using just the fry starter? Will it be costly since the fry starter is very fine so you'll have to feed more. I have a 20g long.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

My guppies love it

My fry keeps dying after 2-4 weeks. I have good fry, but they die. Why? I keep the fry in a separate tank. I don't care about strains or sex. I just want my fry to "grow up". Please help, advice?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

What are you feeding them?

[@corbin2217]

My tank is reading 70 is this to cold for guppies?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Too cold for what? They can survive, but not thrive.

Breeders dont eat fry?

Not if they have hiding spots and are well feed.

[@corbin2217]

How do you keep from getting the bent spine in the guppies?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

How many have bent spines?

[@boopy6430]

Usually that happens when your male and female are related somehow. Much like with people, guppy inbreeding causes problems inclusing more sickly fry, bent spines, and shorter life spans.

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

This is simply not true. At least for many many many generations (in my experience)

[@boopy6430]

In my experience most from pet stores are already from the same generations so a lot of younger guppies develop bent spines when they age due to their genes. I guess it just depends on how well people care for their fish prior to where you get them around here.

[@adamputian1706]

What do u feed the fry?

[@MichaelsFishRoom]

Crushed up flake or pellets.

[@dro2893]

Wow

Hi how to increase the number or fries

Oh, that is in Friday’s video!

[@caddyguy5503]

My problem is that everytime they breed the fry get eaten by the parents and I dont know what to do, can someone give me a tip?

[@leffiepeffie]

You can buy a breeding tank and put your female guppies in there if they are ready to give birth. You can see when the female is soon gona give birth you see that here belly is growing and by a big black stip at the back of her belly. I hope it helps

[@Nigelaquaticsfish]

Take the water to 24 up to 26 they think it’s summer and likely to get more around 15 -20
