Solving My Guppy Problem - Hidden Guppy Fish Breeding Setup 

Get some Bottom Feeder Food before it runs out! ➡ geni.us/2oVvEVY

I learned the hard way to ALWAYS use a complete water conditioner, NOT dechlor only. My city water changed how they processed the tap water with zero notice. So next water change after that happened I watched my favorite breeder Guppy male die right in front of my eyes and the rest of the tank nearly die because dechlor-only released the ammonia in the new Chloramine with how the tap water was now being processed. I lost about half the Guppies in the tank within the first few days until I could figure out what happened and switched to a complete water conditioner that eliminated Chlorine, Chloramine, and Ammonia, not just Chlorine. So now I will only ever use a complete water conditioner always for every tap water. One other thing to consider for breeding Guppies is to offer some fry cover lower down in the tank. I have a better survival rate with adding in some rock piles on the bottom of the tanks, instead of only relying on cover at the top with floating plants.

Glad you're still in the hobby.👍😀 Best regards from Poland.

Mike, my Legit Food just showed up and my fish absolutely devoured them. My picky CPD's would even take the slow sinking food from the surface which never happens! Thank you for a wonder product

You know you could have just taken the mom out...

Have you tried decapsulated brine shrimp eggs?? I give it to my fish and now they are growing incredibly fast.

Looking forward to the progress with this. A rock pile in one of the corners would be helpful, med-small crushed lava rock that holds lots of beneficial bacteria for teeny fry to munch on, with some varying size med-small river rocks mixed in. Tiny fry love being able to dart from plant cover to rock pile cover. I noticed when I was breeding endlers the fry seemed to love hanging out in the rock pile more than anywhere else. They'd venture into the plant cover briefly but dart right back to the rock pile. Just a suggestion, not an absolute necessity if you want a totally bare bottom. 👍❤️👍

U notice every fishtuber that has soft water doesn’t even have to try to grow plants 👿 u guys are so lucky and don’t even realize it ugh wish I didn’t live in the Midwest on limestone bedrock

so when does the new pond season start?

My breeder tank has a matten filter divider and when mamas ready to pop I put the male in the other side. When she drops she goes back to the male all in the same water. HOB intake on parent side and return flow on fry side.👍👍👍

Really cool 💗💯👍✌️

What type of plants you put so you don’t have to put a filter ?

Where do you get those aquarium from ? The 3 underneath the light @1:12

Mike, I’ve setup a 2 gallon breeding tank, placed 2 female guppies and 1 male guppy. How long should I keep them in the same tank do they can do their, business?

My favorite fish . 🐟 I had a long 55 gallon and a 75 gallon tank and a few smaller ones. I was having a lot of babies with guppies, mollies, and pilates. Well Hurricane Ida hit us and we didn't have electricity for weeks all my tanks crashed. So we was able to keep the 55 gallon going with only a few survivors. Well it almost busted three weeks ago. I didn't know what to do we put them up in the 75 gallon tank and things are not working out. Before I noticed the week and the 55 gallon my fish started dying for whatever reason. Now in the 75 gallon I have no guppies. I don't have any female pilates. I do have a couple of mollies but I have a Molly that has some kind of guppy in her gene . The water's just not clearing up. I can't get the pH up. There's no chlorine or ammonia at this moment but the nitrates or nutritates not sure how to spell it. My husband knows about all that they're out the roof. I don't know how to lower them. Everything was going so good before the hurricane. I deal with a lot of anxiety and fish. Calm me down. I love fish. Hopefully we can find the longer tank soon.

I use to raise guppies & with my hard water breeding was very prolific they popped fry out like crazy so I had to get rid of them cause with what space I have I didn't have enough space for more aquariums.

You don't need the dad the mom's already pregnant........ 😂

Cheers Mike

With the fry you currently have, why not have 3 fry per tank, rather than 4/4/1? At least with 3 each tank they're evenly distributed.

7:44 is that a planaria in your tank?

Great video 😊 I got baby mollies in my fish room

These days fish often have fungus

Do u use brackish water for them guppies?

Do you still have the 4' wine glass/tank?

Question 🙋🏻‍♀️ so the pond liquid stuff can be use in the tank but less amount????

Hi Mike, Love your channel and the knowledge you share with us. Thank you so much. 👏👏👏👏 Today's it's my way of giving back to you by sharing my experiences and knowledge. Now I'm not an expert but maybe you or channel subscriber can learn. Firstly if your female is sexually mature and mated with male she can have consecutive broods without mating again for approx 4 to 6 months. The use of the male in your setup isn't needed becz she's pregnant and stores his sperm internally in her own sperm bank. Keep her alone. Secondly I'll use pond net basket that Master breeder Dean uses in 10 gallons and keep the female in it . I'll add plants like you did outside the surrounding tank area and keep one snail to clean up any uneaten foods etc. This method youll get many fry without headaches or worries of fry eating by parents. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Size tank please...

Bring on the babies!

Ive seen people who sell outta similar setups and they build a false wall so that when you open the garage theres a wall with a door that you can put there.

wow

I think its important to note that note all adult guppy will eat fry. . just for fun i even caught up to one of them giving birth just staying at a corner and already a couple of fry swimming about so i transfered her to a viewing tank and heres a video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-krWP2XZLHYs.html

Me, literally the exact opposite problem where they keep popping out babies and I can't catch all the females.

Tequila Sunrise guppy?

I’ve been unlucky getting my guppies to spawn. The endlers are going crazy, but so far no luck with the guppies.

Need loads of moss for the babies to hide in.

The bigger the tank the harder to catch fish
