Help Needed Fishes Acting Very Hyper!

[kribensis12]

The carp and goldies have to go. The guy guppies are more color full the girl guppies arnt. The girls have a anal fin( were they use the bathrooom) that sicks straight toward the ground. The guys anal fin is longer and is up against his body( or you can call his anal fin his " thing"). They are livebearers and so are mollies, swordtails, and platies. That means that the mom has live babies, instead of eggs. The " makes love" with her and 21-24 days later they have there babies. They will eat there babies and can have 1-126 babies. They will not eat for 3 days then they will eat because they have to consume there egg sacks. You really should consider a 20 gallon. And if you do you can try Kribensis Cichlids. They are one of the pretties fish I have ever seen and can live ten years. You want your tank at about 79 degrees. Tell me what color of fish you want and I can help you out with how big they get, size of tank they need, and water temp, and agression, and just about everything else that you want to know.

Just a quick question (sorry to interfier) but isnt it cruel keeping tropicals with coldwater fish?

 

[bharathbala2003]

The first and most obvious problem with keeping guppies and goldfish together is their different temperature requirements. Guppies come from South American and prefer temperatures around 24-27C, whereas goldfish find it hard to get enough oxygen when the water is that warm.

There is also the problem that goldfish produce a lot of ammonia, and that guppies are prone to finrot if the water is not clean.

And finally the goldfish will grow into a fish for whom a guppy is just the right snack size.

oh oh.. anywy guppy fry has arrived am so happy.. in 2 days i got so much.. yday about 20 molly's today 10 guppies..

The parents will eat the babies, so will the goldies.

 

[bharathbala2003]

no i have em in a seperate tank.. it had happened when i was away.. so as soon i saw that i took the guppy and put it seperate..

 

[kribensis12]

If I were you I would sell all the non tropicals to you lfs and save up for a new tank, but kepp your guppies/mollies.

 

[bharathbala2003]

Tank size: 50cmsX20cms
pH: |
ammonia: |
nitrite: | NO IDEA.. how do i see it??
nitrate: |
kH: |
gH: |
tank temp: about 25degree..

Like Miss Wiggle suggests, testing your water is one of the first steps in determining what a problem may be. You should purchase a test kit that contains the bolded items to start.

i dont have a thermometer right now.. but the temp must be somewher about 18-23 "25" at max..

A thermometer is another must for fish keepers. 18-25°C (64.4-77°F) is a large difference in temperature to be guessing.

 

[bharathbala2003]

hmm ok.. i will get these at the earliest.. or can i immerse a normal thermometer for a while and tell the reading.. or is there a seperate one for this purpose..
