guppy

I have a 45 gallon tank, and I was thinking about trying to cross mollies and guppies. I have heard it is possible, and I would  like to try it myself. Does anyone have any advice on, like, how to encourage them to spawn? Anything related would help. Thanks!

Hi, I visited my lfs the other day and saw a beautiful cichlid! i know that there are many types of cichlids so i dont have a clue what type it was, it was pinky/red/orangey coloured.  Anyway, i was wondering, can they live with platys and guppies? and if not guppies can they live with just...

Hi, my female yellow tailed guppy dropped some fry last tuesday, she dropped around 7-8 healthy live fry, around 3 deformed, and a LOAD of normal eggs. anyway, she hasnt dropped any fry since (not that i know of) and she is still huge and has a big gravid spot, she never slimmed down after...

I have a tank full of platys and guppies, a two or three guppies have died over the past few months due to old age. So i bought 5 new ones today from the lfs, 3 females and 2 males. ( ratio of all guppies in my tank are 3:1) in the lfs the males and females are kept seperately, i noticed after a...

So, either my Lasers, Bronze or Panda cories have spawned but i have nowhere to put the eggs except in the breeders net .However I already have one, 1 week old Guppy fry in the breeders net atm. Will the guppy fry eat the eggs?? Or the Cory fry when they hatch?? Cheers, Imogen. 

Just over a week ago i bought a couple more platys and guppies. on the way home i found a guppy fry hiding in the corner of the bag (must of snuck in the net with one of the others!!) anyway the fry has a gravid spot, ive heard that a gravid spot doesnt always mean that they are pregnant, and...

Hi, I'm getting a bigger tank this week and was thinking of adding more fish to my 4 guppies and 4 platys. Any suggestions on what fish would go well with these? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

My fish gave birth on April 20th, and the babies are growing quickly! There are three full grown guppies in the 20 gallon tank, and maybe 10-15 fry.   I know the official judgement of when to let fry go is when they reach a certain size. I'm not great at measuring by eye sight - so I wanted to...

Check out this picture I just took of my guppy Lemon Drop's womb! The babies are getting so close, you can clearly see their little eyes!     Lemon Drop is about to drop!

  My first litter of guppy fry were born yesterday - a great surprise when I got home!    I had put momma in her breeder net, since she seemed squared off with a dark gravid spot. She wasn't lethargic, but I gave it about 2 days and it paid off!   She gave birth to about 10-13 babies, and I...

Hello everyone! Recently, I moved both of my guppies to a new tank, after their tank mate outgrew them. Shortly after, one of them died, and the other one became extremely ill, dying shortly after, despite many 70% water changes and a temp. raise with extra airation. One thing I did not try was...

Hi Guys   I have 2 females and 1 male guppy, unable to post pictures on here unfortunately but one female has been pregnant since I got her from the LFS. She is not yet squared off nor does she have her birthing tube open yet (or maybe I can't see it), but the store owner insisted that she will...

Hi everyone!   My beloved yellow tailed female guppy is showing signs of swim bladder disease, as she is having trouble staying stable and can only swim in circles. The other fish, particuarly the male guppy is constantly harassing her, which i am sure isnt good for her at the moment...

My guppy is still in the process of having her fry, I was just wondering how long they normally take to give birth to each fry, she has had the bottom half (tail) of a fry hanging out for a while...is this normal?

I tend to rotate my fishes diets between discus granules and two different types of tropical flakes.   As i've ran out of one of the types of tropical flakes i've been giving them more discus granules than they'd normally get regularly. The problem is i've noticed that the platies (2 female...

Hey guys I have some guppies and today one of them died and i noticed that she had been acting weird the past couple days, swimming at the top but letting the current (from filter) to keep her up and her gills were really read and looked almost swollen and her mouth was wide open and she looked...

One of my female guppies is only about 2 or 3 months old and she is pregnant again for the 2nd time.  I notices tiny black eyes moving around in her stomach last night.  Can anyone tell me how far along she is?   

Hello So this is my second thread (already) but I have lots of questions I have a guppy (blonde) who's gravid spot was red with about 4-5 guppy eyes inside she doesn't have a big belly she's quite small but over the last 4 days her gravid turned black she is hiding up the heater today but ive...

Hi everyone I just have some questions as to my new fry. I did a little water change today and my only guppy started popping out babies (I had some more, but i've had them a while and the last one of the two died last week) thankfully I was there, got my breeding cage and caught as many as I...

PLEASE HELP ASAP I got 2 new guppies along with some other non-agressive fish, and one of my angels (i have 2) has completely destroyed just one particular guppy. I turned out the light, everyone was happy healthy, come out of the bathroom 10 minutes later and the angel was eating my guppy! He's...

I just went to walmart and bought some fish and a tank. A Tetra brand 1.5 gallon cube and 3 fancy guppies ( I asked for two but the worker ended up giving me three ) the cube has a LED light and a whisper 3i Filter and filter cartridge. The water temperature is 76 farenheit. The first thing I...

I have a 20 gallon tank that was set up about 3 months ago. I started it off with 10 feeder guppies. 3 survived cycling(and the fin rot they all had when I bought them). The tank currently has no issues with ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate. I added male fancy guppies later. Currently in the tank...

I've had a male fancy guppy for a little over a month now. A couple weeks ago I noticed him swimming with shaky movements. Then he started hovering at the back of the tank. He's gotten very emaciated and shows no interest in food. If it is Ichthyyophonus, would it be best to put him down since...
