guppies

Hello fellow aquarium fans! I have a little issue with my guppies. My 6 corydoras are totally fine tough. Since day 1 3 months ago, my guppies are dying slowly. They reproduce, give birth and then die. The last survivor of the first batch is now slowly fading away. His kids are fine, except for...

Hey guys, So I have three pregnant guppies, and one of them is a very pale, irridescent yellow, and so her gravid spot isn't really grey or black, it's more like a translucent peachy colour. She was slowly getting bigger and bigger until one morning I wake up, and she's huge! So now the scales...

Looking to improve my male swordtails environment. I have three males and no females. I wasn't informed at the time of purchase about males needing females. I wasn't looking to bread and thought that three males would be a good addition to my aquarium. Now reading about them I find that I...

Hey guys, So I have two pregnant female guppies, and both have fairly large gravid spots and have already squared off but will probably get a bit bigger. Anyways, in the morning their gravid spots are a translucent pink or orange, but as the day goes on, the gravid spot goes back to black like...

Hi All, I am fairly new to keeping fish. Previously had goldfish in a 40l tank after really poor pet shop advice.... have rehomed them to someone with a 350l tank so am now going to upgrade mine to 110l. (80cm x 50cm high x 35cm) Once it is cycled I would like a mix of guppies, neon tetras...

As I type this one of my beloved guppies is dying. I bought the poor guy and an adult and he was in pretty rough shape. I'm surprised he made it 8 months in my tank.   My plan right now is to fill his place with another male guppy, but I was wondering if there would be any other good tank mates...

Wow! My female gave birth to maybe 20 babies, just two seconds after I saw one pop out of its mum,my betta swam up and ate it! He's now in timeout (breeding box) until the babies have grown bigger, Ever since he's stopped continuously hunting for them, them have confidently explored the tank...

Most of my goldfish died, leaving two. My family wanted to buy some guppies and mollies because they breed a lot and we like it but my dad wanted koi fish, because he was afraid that the guppy fries would get eaten by the goldfish. Please reply:  Should we buy guppies...

I currently have a ten gallon tank with three adult male guppies in it. I've had the tank set up with fish for about two months now and it is starting to grow a large amount of algae. I was wondering if adding a type of dwarf pleco would be a good idea. I've read that the smaller ones...

I have a 35 liter fish tank. It's well established and has been up and running for about three years now. It was stocked with: 1x Guppy (he was the last survivor was about 3 years old, I was planning on buying some more little friends for him) 5x Platies (4 females and 1 male) 1x male swordtail...

So i have a few questions about guppies and mine in particular.   I bought a few guppies the other day and 1 is already dead and another is not looking well. The tank is a small 2.5 - 3 gallon tank. I was told that this was enough for them. This tank was also sitting for awhile and I cleaned and...

I have a new tank and I cycled it and did everything that was necessary. I got the fish yesterday and I now have four guppies and a dwarf gourami swimming in there. My tank is 10 gallons. I put the fish in and acclimated them by floating and adding a little bit of my water into their bags every...

I currently have 2 male guppies in a 5.5 gallon tank. I have had them for almost 7 months and they have been very peaceful until recently. I am going to get a larger tank so I can stock more fish and hopefully end this problem, I just have a few questions.   My current filter is meant for tanks...

Well with my new found love for aquariums i thought it best to share my little pals in a short clip on my planted tropical aquarium. Hope you like it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExS-nDH2BL4&feature=youtu.be

Hello   My two guppy females gave birth recently, the oldest had nearly 30 healthy guppy; a week later the second, a younger girl, had only a few, but I could only rescue two from the main tank since she was too fast to have her changed to a birthing tank.   For now, all the fry is living in a...

I took guppies from a friends who couldn't find someone else to take them, i feed them two pinches of fish food twice a day, turn off the tank light at night, i have small ornaments and a couple plants with little leaves. I measured levels today and all were stable (maybe ph slightly edging over...

It wasn't hard to tell their gender when I first got them, but I want to know: are they feeder or Fancy guppies? I got them for free because they were older fry.   They are rather plain looking, save for the male (and he sometimes has a black oval on each of his sides), and one female has only...

i currently have platies and guppies and a couple endlers and also an endler guppy cross i think but anyways im thinking of selling my guppies and getting mollies instead i also want to keep 2 of my current fish one is an endler one is the endler x guppy but everyone else is being sold as a...

Ok this is my first time owning my own fish. My daughter got a free fish at a school then I got a similar look friend for him. I plan on getting more fish what are good tank mates for these two guys. I think they are guppies one is a baby.

I have 5 new adorable little endlers and I've been feeding them Tetra River Shrimp (sun dried krill) it's the only ingredient, so I don't think there are any other unnecessary fillers and or such.   Should I be mixing with flake food?  Do they need or want a variety.   I break the shrimp up into...

I would like to thank all the awesome members that have helped me get back into the hobby that I so loved years ago.   I was able to cycle my little tank (fishless) in 18 days and it looks amazing.   It's now home to 5 adorable little endler guppies that are so insanely active and colorful that...

Well, to start things off, I have great news. My molly fry is growing exponentially and I've started giving it little bits of brine shrimp when the others get a frozen tablet to feast on. I've also found another baby in the tank, an orange one that resembles a platy and it's now in the breeder...

So maybe it wont be so mysterious to you guys.   10 gallon tank. (Was) 3 guppies, 2 female, 1 male and 2 rasboras. Male has been in the tank at least 3-4 months. Females and Rasboras 5-6 months. Tank is well established and parameters are fine.    I found my guppy dead this morning. Completely...

I have been to the lfs to get some more tap safe they only had one sort so I grabbed it and came home :) But when I got home I read the bottle and realised that it is for goldfish :/ does it matter? They really need cleaning out today and I can't go back down to the lfs until friday :/ should I...

Woke up this morning to find all of my of my five guppies except two have got torn sort of ripped tail fins. At first I thought maybe they had just been fighting however when I looked at my platies I saw that one of them has a little tear at the side of his tail fin aswell, so I thought just to...

To start, my name is Melissa.  I live in Iowa, USA.  I have lots of tanks over the years, my first was when I was 16 and it was a 20 gallon eclipse form Petsmart.  My sister bought it for my as a birthday gift.  For this tank, she bought me 2 black moors and I loved them. I went on spring break...

Hello! My guppy is preggo but she isn't delivering! Her gravid spot is VERY dark but, her stomach isn't that fat... Pls help!  

Hey, so part one of this post is I have one turquoise gourami in my tank, and he seems to not be ok, even though he has been fine ever since I got him on the 16th of Aug. He's spending all his time up near the top of the heater, not eating and not really swimming around unless I put my hand near...

Hello, I have a tropical fresh water 55 gallon tank and it has been running since the middle of August. I let it cycle for a week then added 3 Cory's, 2 farawella cats, and 2 ray loaches (I think that's what they are called but I'm not sure), and 2 turquoise gourami's. My tank was doing great...

I currently have female and male guppies in my fish tank, they've all been together in the same tank for about 4 days. When exactly do they start breeding? Do most start at a week after first being put together or days after? If days after, how can you tell if your female(s) are pregnant? I read...

My tank currently has: 30 Gallons. six guppies. Six platy's. Four sword tail. All breeding has seemed to stop, one girl is two months over due and should be having her babies once again, though right now I'm treating the water for bacteria. How long until after they are ready to start breeding...

I keep feeder guppies in one of my tanks, which has worked out wonderfully.  I decided it would be fun to do a little genetics experiment and mix my feeder guppies with inexpensive but fancier guppies in my 10gallon snail tank.  So, I moved over a few females and gave them 3 colorful males to...
