Very interesting video!  To me it doesn't look territorial though.  If you notice the guppy/ies tend to flex their gonopodium as they get coser to the female.  I think it's just a matter of a breeding chase.  Just my opinion though!  Pretty fish btw!  :)

Hey Lovelies!    Feeling better today after being sick yesterday.  Blahhhh.....   Gearing up to do water changes later today after mowing the lawn!  Can't believe we are mowing already!  Getting ready to set up another 10 gallon for my guppy fry I'm expecting from a breeding project.  Growing a...

Happy Gotya Day Ginger!  :)  Well I guess that doesn't really apply as she isn't an adoption and you do know when her real birthday is... but still!!  :)  Can't wait to see pics!

AHhhhh!  lol  Yep!  Looks real enough to me!  lol  :)

I've always wondered about how people breed Betta fish and stay sane.  lol  It is my understanding that you need to separate all the males into their own tanks?  I'm assuming this is true as it would make complete sense to avoid fighting.  But how old would the fry be when you have to do this? ...

Quick question...  ?  You say this is a 5.5 gallon...but it seems larger than that.  Also, you mention tank occupants as one male guppy, one female guppy and 2 snails..  yet I see 3 other fish (appear to be Platies).  Are there other fish in the tank that are not mentioned?    Not sure on the...

Congratulations! Very nice tank! :)

Thanks for all the great info guys!  Here's another question for you.  I have livebearers.  Do you think it is possible for non-viable fry or even eggs that are prematurely birthed to cause a small spike in readings of some sort?  I know that occasionally I will get a slight reading of ammonia...

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out this time.  :(  But I too wait for your next update to let us know things are brewing again!  :)

I just re-read my post.  Wasn't meant as callous as it sounded!  My apologies!  It does sort of blow my mind when you guys just spew off those names like you are saying bat or ball.  :)  Sorry if I offended you!  Not my intent!  They are very beautiful fish and I am sure up in my neck of the...

Okay now.. lol  Let's be fair.  I could have tried my damdest and googled.  Did you or did you just know them?

I know right Prairie!  :)  Would like to know more.

Well I'm in the US..  I believe I spent roughly $30.  Not sure there. 

Very beautiful fish!  Goodeids?  Still learning...  I don't know what the one with the long nose is.  Can you tell us what they are?  It's very easy to think of Livebearers only being Guppies, Mollies, Platies and Swordtails. 

I have the API Master Liquid Test Kit and I really enjoy it.  Haven't tried the others.  You just have to make sure the kit you buy isn't expired and that you shake the bottles EXTREMELY well.  Well at least the Nitrate bottles.  I have had good readings with mine and would buy another when this...

Thanks Ny!  I would love to visit Scotland someday!  Definitely on my bucket list.    Quick update, although not too much to update.  I dare not even say this as I feel I will jinx myself but I think I might have another heart shaped tail in the making!  I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed! ...

LOL!  They are looking great!  Such cuties!  And wow... more???  Fertile tank you have there!  lol  :)

Love it! Keeping fingers crossed here! :)

I too feel my tank water and try to gauge it from there as far as the tap water goes. I am assuming you have a heater in your tank and are not keeping a cold water fish. I have read somewhere several times that is always better to go a little on the warmer side. A little! Depending on what...

Awesome news on the little one! A SW tank.....someday...someday. Good to hear about yours! Hey Lovelies! Spent some time with my grandsons today and when their dad said he wasn't coming for them today but tomorrow...I had 2 upset 4 year olds on my hands. But Grandma was quick and we...

I have 2 tanks, a 10 gl and a 20 gl. I have kept fish before and loads of them (livebearers). But I am now learning everyday how to keep them correctly. I have no live plants and no bogwood and use gravel. Yes, this might work for now but not my eventual goal! So, someday...someday. Until...

Very nice photos! Must have been wonderful to see them in person! Thanks for sharing! :)

I saw on someone else's post they just took a zucchini and sliced it in half lengthwise and set one half of it on the bottom for awhile. They were talking about how their pleco made a boat out of it.

I don't have any issue with the flow of the filter as far as being too strong for them (10 gallon with a hang on the back filter for a 30 gallon tank) but I can also adjust my flow.  I always make sure the water is high enough too so that the flow affects the top of the water more.   My fry seem...

Hey Lovelies! Thanks for the welcome guys and gals. Scarlett Fever is no fun. Thoughts and blessings with you! Tomorrow is water change day. Still no new drops in the guppy tank or even the mollie tank. Black Betty now looks like a UBoat. Maybe with the fresh water we can stir things up a...

Hey Lovelies! I feel weird just chiming in. Have been watching this thread for a bit and realizing this is just a bit of everyday life. Spent some time with my grandsons today (they are 4 and twins) and they informed me that mommy and daddy made them from special ingredients. lol! They live...

I've watched my male guppies too Snazy. But this was a lot slower and seemed to have much more purpose. Baccus, it was just really surprising that these two were so amorous for such a length. After all was said and done they each went for a rest in a corner of the tank. Like they were wiped...

This morning I witnessed something that rather surprised me. Black Betty (marble lyretail mollie) and a new addition who has yet to be named (male dalmation mollie) were doing some sort of dance that is very similar to what egg scatterers do. They were along side each other in an S pattern and...

Good to know Tcamos.  Wasn't sure how it worked on this forum as to if it was the Moderators that did that.  Will try to remember to Tag from now on. 

How long will it be before you can telll what kind they are? A month? And also is it possible for the two to interbreed to where you might have a combo?

Really, really nice looking guppies! You have every reason to be proud! :) Will follow this too.

A very talented little bugger! lol :)

This is great news! Will try to catch that video when it's up and running! Congrats! :)

That's a really cool looking little tank!  :)  There is one thing that stood out to me though.  Actually made me shudder thinking about it.  lol  You have that on a glass stand?  I'm not sure how much weight the tank is when filled..  but I would hate to think that the glass might not be able to...

I also do not have good luck with this search function. Yet, I can go to google and type in the same info and most of the time it will pull up a thread or two here. May not always be at the top but still. I'm not sure if the search function here relies on the Tags (much like the Internet) but...

wbzorker - That is really awesome! Now I want to try even harder to make this work! :) Rei Rei - keeping you in mind too!! The first fry I thought was a Molly is definitely a guppy....pink to boot. Appears female but so hard to tell. She is growing grandly and is enjoying general...

LOL! These are great! Thanks for the well needed giggle today.

Congrats on the new little ones!!

LOL!  Congratulations folks! 

Awesome news! Perhaps one or two will survive the all you can eat buffet! :)
