i grew up breeding guppies and its just nature, the male and female eat some of the newborn guppies but 90% of the time its the runts of the litter or the still born. sometimes they will eat healthy live baby guppies but they give birth pretty ofter so its really not a big deal. if the male starts attacking the mother then separation is best. but otherwise overkill.
Long time fish keeper tip. Guppies and other live bearing fish do well with a ratio of one male two three females. This means that the male or males do not focus on one female all the time. Get him another two ladies. Also leave the floating plants in to help shelter the babies and it should work fine without intervention. Though a word of warning, a thriving colony will end up leading to more and or bigger tanks. Then you will be on your way to being an official fish nut. 🐟 😎
i recommend giving your male guppy 2or3 females in the tank so the female guppies do not feel stressed out by mating these guppies always think of breeding over and over again add more guppy grass and plants i warn you these guppies can multiply over and over again i recommend adding a guppy eating preadator either you should seperate the guppy fri from the parents guppies tend to live 2 3 years
Getting guppies at 3 or 4 females for every male would be really helpful. This reduces the stress for the female guppies. Also, cories are amazing fish. Their characteristics come out in a group of 6 or so.
Guppies are the fish that just keep giving and before you know it become over run seperating them will make a even bigger issue down the line, multiple pregnancies and not the best starter fish that some stores will have you think. Remember those four fish could turn into 100 very quickly before you know it.
The aquarium seems to be be working well, so far. Congratulations on the guppy babies. Big pat for Cookie, from me. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia.😊
@@Ovenfish Hi Ovenfish. Expat from Sth Melbourne, Caulfield, Hampton, Grew up around Melbourne, until left 44 years ago for a 2 year try.......... LOL. Never left. Too much here to give up. Have a great and safe festive season. Greetings from Dimboola.
Theres no need to stress them out like that, my father had a tank full of guppies they breed like rabbits, he was endlessly selling the babies, just let them get on with it and if they eat some they eat some.
I wish more people would be saying that tbh Also he only has two cories and they do best in large groups of at least six, which this tank might be too small for
In my opinion, if you let the baby guppies go outside that container, it would be more cooler, because we can watch it survive, thrive, and it would be more cooler just like in nature. And yea good video, keep it up
I think he’s doing pretty decent for the most part (definitely could be doing a whole lot worse from what I’ve seen), but he doesn’t seem to know or care about keeping guppies in the right ratio or corydoras in a larger group, despite comments telling him this in the last video
If you find some floating plants like indian fern / water sprite , the guppy babies will hide in it and have a better chance of living and you can just leave them be no need to separate . They have many babies . Welcome to livebarers lol
Hello! I believed you must be already using this aquarium for 3month++ now. May I know how is the water condition now? Hv you changed it? Im intending to buy this aquarium as well. Hope to hear from you soon
Not to sound rude or anything but did you read the comments on the previous vid saying to have multiple females so he isn't constantly chasing after the same one, or to have multiple corydoras catfish so they don't get stressed and lonley?
You have to wait at least 6 months before putting fish in your new aquarium. Because microorganisms and bacteria first have to settle in the water. This is very important for the fish. Do not put the fish in the aquarium immediately, but let it get used to the water. Drop by drop. Remove the fish with a landing net so that no water comes out of the bag. 😊
@@pixazelz OK. I had aquariums with fresh water and salt water. It turned out that the longer I waited, the better the chances were that the fish would feel comfortable and stay healthy. Of course, a fish can die quickly after purchase if it experienced a lot of stress during transport or if the pet store kept the fish poorly. I realize that hardly anyone wants to wait 6 months before you can put fish in the aquarium, but you can start with certain types of snails, for example.
Did miss this one. Good fishkeeping is to let them be alone doing their own thing. Algie is due to to manny animals in the tank without a seasoned filter media. To much nutrients and light only grow algie. Change water often and several times a week is no problem in a new tank. Good stuff is growing in the substrate, in the filter media and on the decore not in the water. Suvival of the fittest is the natural way and poore Johnny aint got NO chance to get a good life. So! Do the right thing!
He just needs to do more research into responsible fish keeping, most of what he is doing is not necessary. There are multiple channels on U Tube that show people how to do so.
This sometimes happens that the female guppy dies when she gives birth. This is fine. He's just not experienced. Do you think it is better for fish to live in a store? Have you seen how many fish die in pet stores because they are kept in small containers? And isn’t this an abuse?
No I’ve seen far worse, he’s doing a good job all things considered, but he also seems to ignore the advice given in the last video about keeping multiple female guppies instead of just one, and that cories need to be kept in groups and probably in a bigger tank too
