Getting back to hobby after 60 yrs. Have a 20 gal with 4 guppys 1 male + 3 females. I am interest in purchasing another set of 1 male + 2 or 3 females but I can't seem to find a seller. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I am in Nevada.

Welcome to the forum! Exciting you're getting back into it! I'd do a search for a local fish store (rather then a chain like Petco) and talk to them. That, or join a local aquarium club and see if anyone is selling. Unfortunately, guppy genetics have been shot over the years so it can be hard to find a quality breeder, but it is possible!

Thanks for your feed back. I live in a rural area of nevada and I am 80 miles from reno or carson city. I'm stuck with pet smart or petco and one fish shop that is a mess and I wouldn't buy anything from them. I guess I was looking for an online source to buy from.

Hello ke5. Remember that small tanks under 30 gallons will require large water changes a couple of times a week, no matter what you keep in it. I've never been able to maintain anything smaller than 45 gallons with any degree of efficiency.

Welcome to the forum...
60 Years is quite a while. So, a warm welcome back to the hobby, I'd like to say...

I have been pleased with Aqua Huna from Washington state. Great variety of fish. Guaranteed live delivery. $12.99 flat shipping fee. Fish are very reasonably priced.
