guppy

Hello :) I have a planted 24l tank with four male fancy guppies. The pH in the tank is 8.2, I have read that guppies like it between 6.8 and 7.6. I have a bottle of API pH adjuster, it says 1ml for 38l but it doesn't say how much that actually lowers the water by. I know that sudden changes in...

I have a 10L tank with 3 guppies and 1 patty all male. and a sail. I am new to fish I got them for my kid who wanted a pet. I do regular water changes about ones every 2 weeks. I have live pants. Lately my guppies have been hanging by the heater my tank is at 76° and one has been swimming with...

I have had this female guppy for about 2 weeks and she's been pregnant since day 1. I just separated her into a birthing container but am unsure if she's actually about to give birth soon. Her belly seems to have that "shape" I've read about and her gravid spot has gotten very big over the last...

I sent an image of my brand new, 50 gallon, planted guppy breeding tank as I was very proud of it. I’ve been wanting one since I had gotten my 20 gallon guppy tank in October or September. 1 male per 2-4 females or so, all healthy. About 20 of them, soon to be a lot more. A few hours later...

Hey all, I am a lifelong avid fisherman who is kind of a new fish keeper. Had to take care of my sister's HUGE comet goldfish (we named her Fatty), a severum, and some of those glowing tetras like 3-4 years ago because her work place didn't have any more time to care for them. She brought them...

Female gave birth 3 days ago. Fry are on frozen bbs and 25% water changes a day.

I noticed my guppy had a swollen belly and on closer look at the front there’s is a yellow/white patch on it. Anyone know what this is and how I can help him. Ammonia and nitrates are 0 Nitrates is 6 Ph is 7.6 Tank is 100 litres

Hello everyone I'm afraid I'm not sure how to add a video on here, but I'll try to explain what's up with him. Sorry if this is a bit long. But I appreciate the help. My guppy started swimming very erratically yesterday and was swimming up and down from the bottom to the top several times...

https://swordtailguppies.blogspot.com/2015/09/working-with-autosomal-genes-for-color.html?m=1 In this article it is written that there are tigrinus ,bar and zebrinus. All of them looks similar to me. Can anybody explain difference? I haven't taken photo but I will upload a photo of unknow "bar"...

I bought a strain of guppy some weeks ago. I haven't taken photo and now my camera's battery is too low. Well they are Japan blue with clear round tail. And what I thought is good aabout this strain is that their dorsal is big and looked like that of red grass. The female had no color. In this...

Hello! I have been keeping guppies since May 2021 and my first batch of fry are now juveniles/semi-adults. I remember when they were no bigger than a grain of rice!🤩 Anyway, I have noticed a couple fish have an interesting body shape. They are wonky and not the smooth torpedo shape like the...

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone knows what this is and how I could help Lou? It all started about 2/3 days ago. She started with her head swimming down and her tail up, I then noticed a pink spot by her backside. Today she is just sitting up at the top off the tank and near the filter. I’ve...

HI, I adopted them a few weeks ago and one of them is pregnant now. I don't know when she will give birth so can you tell me? When should I separate her? Thanks.

This fish used to be female with usual gravid spot.(Laguna de patos strain of wingei and reticulata hybrid) After isolating this fish with only female she lost gravid spot. Then I took her into a tank with males hoping that she will have the gravid spot again. But she continues to become like...

Hi Everyone, I have a 30cm cube tank with 2 muscles, 20 cherry shrimp 5 dwarf rasboras, 5 neon tetras, 1 female betta and 4 guppys 2 male and 2 female. Recently one of my male guppies has developed a white colouring on his bottom lip but no other signs of anything on his body. He has stopped...

Hello fam. So I have a few fry that were born from their mothers who were pregnant from the store, so I hadn’t gotten a chance to breed them yet, and their tails are freaking me out a little bit. I thought depending on species or type of guppy, they usually had small even fins for normal...

???? Help? Please? It’s white and fuzzy. I’ve seen this on a couple other of my fish but MUCH smaller and it typically kills them. I don’t know what it is or how it spreads. So. Help 🥺 the white fuzz always appears at the anal area and no where else

Hello again! Does this look normal on my female Endler guppy? There’s like a protrusion there on her belly closer to her head than her anal vent. I haven’t noticed any behavioral changes in her tho and nothing drastic has changed over the last few days so I’m not sure what could have caused it...

This female has blue on tail fin. Is it okay to assume that this fish has Japan blue and gene responsible for doublesword(maybe elomgatus )on X chromosome?

What do you think the fish in the middle is? She was born from golden(japanese tiger) strain. Is she blonde or blonde golden(cream)? I can't tell( she is still small).

I bought vienna emerald from a shop 2 month ago and raising children. But they are not as beautiful as they used to be 10 years or so ago.(I regret I didn't keep the old strain.) Their emerald color got less vivid and they got micromelanin stain in its caudal fin upper base(the place I want the...

Does anyone know how to tell if a female guppy has japanblue gene on x chromosome? For example, how about the female guppy in the link below? https://www.shopping-charm.jp/product/2c2c2c2c-2c2c-2c2c-2c2c-2c3137323937

I gained about 30 fry from golden( japanese tiger) guppy strain. And one of them found out to be a blonde. Is this often happens? Is there any genetic relationship between autosomal golden and blonde gene? Does anyone know well about this?

Hi, We’re very new to fish keeping and bought some guppies a few days ago. as one of the guppies seemed like she may be ready to give birth (squarish belly, staying in one spot) and the males kept nipping at her we put her in a breeder box. When we checked on her we saw a piece if white fuzzy...

About a few weeks ago I had bought a 21gal tank and I had a 4gal tank with a minnow and a danio (all the others died off). I had only bought this bigger tank because I wanted to give them friends so I left the tank for like 4 days with a filter from a cycled tank and live plants. Then when I...

I got her three weeks ago from the aquarium store, the owner thought she could have gotten pregnant in transit. She’s super aggressive, still very hungry and active, poops a lot. There’s only her and one other female in my tank. Thank you!

How many guppies can I keep in a 10 gallon? No other fish, just guppies(All males or all females so they don't breed), as well as a couple snails. I don't want to do water changes more than weekly since I usually just do tank maintenance over the weekend.

So I have a 20 gallon fishtank with plastic plants and aquarium rocks for substrate. I havent had good success with fish in the past year. I cycle the tank, wait for everything to go to the right levels. Then, I purchase maybe 5 fish (hardy fish like guppies or goldfish) acclimate them and then...

Hi, I recently got some guppies for my first fish tank and they spend most of their time at the surface. Is this normal? I have a filter installed and an airstone installed. The airstone seemed too powerful so I keep it on for a minute at some times during the day so I don't stress out the fish.

So I was browsing the marketplace yesterday and came upon an ad for free fish tanks. I, of course, hopped on it. Just got home after picking it up and setting it up. It turns out, she still had the fish, but would have no tanknonce I left with the last one. She offered the fish as well. I...

So a friend close to me bought some tanks that came with fish, which he didn't want. I said I would take them off his hands. Ot was a mixed lot of neon tetra and supposedly guppies, but two of these female are absolutely huge. I suspect they are actually a crossbreed, and therefore infertile...

Hai So, one of my grandparents female fancy guppies look not well. She's really skinny and really long. And a chunk of her gill is missing. She's acting fine, but doesn't look like it. The photos are blurry, sorry. Should I move her to a hospital tank? I'd the water parimaters, but the tank is...

Hi guys, My guppy flamingo has been clamping her fins today and I'm not sure what the cause is?? I changed the water yesterday, all params are fine. I have 70L with 5 guppies (3 babies) and 3 male platys whom she has been best friend with for months now. Here is a picture of her a couple of...

Hi there, hope someone can help. One of our guppies has swim bladder - showing the classic signs. We have followed the good advice we could find - - we stopped feeding him - put him in quarantine tank away from others (this is an established tank) - gave swim bladder treatment (have given day...

Just as the title says. I was looking at my guppies the last couple days, and one of my new fish in quarantine’s tail started to get clear in the middle rather than the beautiful blue when I bought her. At first I didn’t think anything of it, figured it was just stress but the whiteness kept...

Hello, I have a guppy tank, and one of my guppies looks close to death. She's swimming vertically, struggling to swim, and her gills arent moving much. I tried doing a water change to see how she would do... she seems terribly close to death. Attached photo. Any suggestions please?

So I’ve got a 29 gallon tank that’s divided in half. On one side I have my male guppies and the other my female. Anyway, I have one of the male guppies in an isolation box because he kept endlessly harassing a single other male guppy. The isolation box is mesh so it just sits in the main tank...

I’ve recently been searching on the web about methods of yielding more male/female Guppies from batches of fry. I’ve read that softer water with lower PH yields more females, harder water with higher PH yields more males. I’ve read that even the temperature can affect the ratio of sexes. Has...

One of my yellow guppies has an extremely clamped fin. A few days ago it looked like he had burned his back fin on the heater. I just finished treating the tank for ich, so i have the temp around 83°. I haven’t done a test on the water quality lately because I’ve been changing it 20% every 48...
