Your lucky that @Fishmanic was online, I have found that he is the most helpful along with @emeraldking. Good luck with your tank!

This might been a more or less “she may survive but maybe not” thread, but one of my cobra female guppies started showing symptoms of an infection a week ago.I do not have much experience with fungus and infections but I have been treating the tank for a good 4 days with API Melafix (and ick...

Of what it looks like I mean

Can we see pictures?

Ooh, I have a few questions. How big is your mass breeding tank? Also what is crossbreeding? Is it similar/the same as outcross breeding? Please explain how!

Nicrew is good, I like LED floodlights too

Just like @GaryE said, he will eat all the fry. But if you still want to do the breeding project now, you can get a 10 gallon. Possibly thr easiest fish to breed (that also happens to be colourful), are guppies or endlers! Put them in, and they will breed. They can even crossbreed safely and...

I linebreed fancy guppies, but I will sometimes throw in some outcross breeding too!

Ohh I know all about breeding them, I just want to know your methods so I can expand my knowledge and learn more about different ways I can try! Thank you though. Edit: Fixed careless spelling mistakes

This is kind of a silly question, BUT DON’T CLICK OFF OF THIS THREAD!!!! This is important… If you breed livebearers, specifically guppies and endlers, how do you breed them? I’m talking specifically about your method, setup, preferences, etc. You would know I am very interested in this...

Let me introduce you to my dog, Cubby! He is a toy poodle that is two and a half now, and he LOVES stealing towels. He knows all the standard tricks, plus two unique tricks called dance and kissy. When I someone tells him to do dance, he will go in his hind legs and spin in a circle before...

You may need a smaller tank for a temporary breeding project. Just a male and a female, ideally a ten gallon tank with some tannins. They like a ph of around 7, and will be completely fine as long as you follow basic guidelines for breeding gouramis. Always have a divider to start so the male...

But don’t report me on this because that is just my guess

I think that is a kind of ricefish or killifish.

Thanks lol

That’s perfect. But if there is ANY sign, and I mean ANY sign of something you may need to address with more tanks, and don’t be shy, because you dont want to be in the situation where you are running to people because you can’t house your guppies.

I’d rather not be specific. Noooo noooooo! I meant the greater Toronto area

Just remember that you can never be prepared enough for anything. Try to get an extra small tank or two, because the rejects will need a temporary home before you know what to do with them, and there are some other possibilities such as where you put the parents when you are raising the fry (if...

I was going to say, but it gets a bit confusing with genetics. Generally, I use my own guppies for breeding, and I have a only female tank. If you are buying fish, always buy from the only female tanks. And what you were saying about breeding true is correct. This method will almost NEVER make...

I have a feeling that it won’t affect most plants, because a lot of plants in the hobby are from South America and such, which have tannins naturally. You’re plants should be ok. Anyway, brown doesn’t change the type of lights that come out on your tank. I hope that made sense

For sure… but the original post was what guppies were high grade, not looking to sell high grade guppies.

Oops sorry I might have misclicked

The tank looks awesome

Hey don’t worry I voted you TOTM

Oof… I feel so stupid for not understanding. Anyway that is pretty cool nonetheless!

For my method, you buy or take a male and a female guppy with a characteristic that you like. A characteristic can be something like a pattern, a color, a tail shape, etc. Then you breed them and raise the fry together until they’re about 3 to 4 weeks old. Then, you want to start separating...

So I actually wrote on another post about guppies just a few minutes ago, but my suggestion for you for not only getting high-grade guppies, but having fun with it too is to make your own strain. Here is the exact copy of what I posted:

OK… I hope I’m not too late, but I love breeding guppies, and I know all about it. For my method, you buy or take a male and a female guppy with a characteristic that you like. A characteristic can be something like a pattern, a color, a tail shape, etc. Then you breed them and raise the fry...

Just did a water change on new community tank!

The mollies look amazing! I do not know what else to say about them except that I cannot express how envious I am of you for getting those little miracles. The guppies look nice too, but I think if you took a nice young female from the fry once she has reached maturity from the batch, and put it...

I don’t know the exact measurements either but in my opinion, they will probably do just fine in a 10 gallon if in the right conditions and are fed a varied diet.
