The Basics for Keeping and Breeding Guppies - Aquarium Co-Op Highlights 

So glad you recorded this. Great talk. Love Cory. I've learned so much from both of you. Thanks guys.

It was lovely to hear you mentioning Sri Lanka. Lots of families in SL live thanks to ornamental fish farming.

What a great public speaker, his passion is contagious.

Thanks guys fantastic job. Need more of these back to basics vids to grow our community. Everyone seems to be getting caught up with high tech setups which can seem overwhelming for new starters. We sometimes forget the simple pleasures of just keeping these water critters.

One of the most entertaining videos I have seen of Cory's, very informative but presented in a funny way that will help people remember longer for sure. GREAT JOB!

5:38 - my boy just totally spaced out on the rock-size question LMAO

Nice post Rob! Guppy's are a gateway fish into the hobby for a lot of people. Cory is great at presentations and sharing knowledge and you are great at giving our community all sorts of care and promoting the aquarium hobby. Keep up the good work buddy.

Thanks. Starting with gups from local store.

Cory is our Guppy Messiah!

Very cool! I listened to this talk on podcast form on Cory's website, but actually watching it with visuals was really interesting :)

thank you, that was great! very informative!

amazing, thank you for uploading this amazing presentation

I have the Guppy Strain (Purple Grass) that Cory said "You can't just walk into a store and buy this fish". True story. Had to hunt those puppies down.

Actually they don't store sperm for the rest of their lives . It's true that a mating is enough for a female to have several broods , but over a period of 6 moths , maximum one year the sperm storage will end and she will stop having fry is the meantime she has been kept separated from males .

This is my favourite video of the week so far. Great job!

He gave a great presentation! Woohoo... happy birthday to me that day!!! Lol

24:28 rip cory

Hmm. Maybe it would be good to get some wilds and slip them into the captive lines. I realize it would be difficult to keep the color doing that, but it might be worth the work.

I agree with this video. The guppies I had thirty years ago were far more hardy that could tolerate various temperatures, water quality issues, and food diversity. The current batch of guppies in the stories are too pampered weak fertilizer specimens destined to die shortly if anything goes wrong in the tank they habitate in.

Love the lawnmower in the background. What, I've seen this before 😇

You are absolutely AWESOME!! Great lecture and thanks so much for posting this!! You covered a lot of info that a lot of other ppl don't. Also: I finally caught my guppy giving birth camera and really hope to have it edited and put up within the next day or so. SUPER excited!! :D :D :D

Very good presentation!

Guppies are like the rabbits of the fish world. I had fancies in a sorority betta tank years ago.

Just got my guppies a couple days ago, I wake up and there's over 30 babies everywhere, not sure how many ill keep alive but they seem to be pretty easy but I can't find anything like brine shrimp to feed them, can I feed them crushed shrimp flakes? If so what are the cons to feeding them flakes instead of brine shrimp? Nice presentation, learned a lot

Great vid, thanks for sharing!

Cory's a great guy

I know it's supposed to be wrong but I run my African cichlid tank with no heaters. Grow-out tank has a heater but my main tank is hovering around 74 with no heater and as far as I can tell they're doing just fine. Given, the room my tanks are in has a stand alone heat/AC unit and the wall unit where the air comes out is right beside my bigger tank

Make sure you get ahold of me when your in Buffalo! Great Video!

My only question is, how many guppy tanks would I need to sustain myself during a zombie apocalypse?! 😝

Had camallanus once. Horrible things to try and get rid of!! I used levamisole and...it worked, but it also killed the cycle in my tank. I was not aware of that until the ammonia was at something like 11, so I lost a lot of fish to that including my beautiful gold nugget pleco. As a side note, THE best bacteria in a bottle product is Dr. Tim's One and Only. I did a massive water change, added that, and ammonia was back down to 0 in less than 36 hours.

What’s good Cory!!

Great video!

Is there a way you can tell if your female has become impregnated or would you just put a male and female in a tank of one day and then keep the female in there until she gave birth, great videos keep them coming.

Can someone please tell me if guppy’s can live with tiger barbs

Wish we had a club for freshwater fish here. 😟 I can find only salt water clubs here in Vegas.

I wanted Guppies so bad ,but got scared when a lady had a tank full of them and some of them had bent spines and she told me that they might have fish tb . I did some research and found out guppies and prone to get it. I honestly think she was overbreeding them because they looked healthy otherwise, but I’m nervous about it. I was going to buy a 125 tank from her but I’m not taking the chance.

Hello Corey just wondering if you could tell me what kind of fish are These they i have too baby guppy’s and these look like guppy’s but the rest of them certainly don’t they are all orange with a lot of black in them not pretty fish at all.........thank you Kim 🇬🇧

18 mins in i have both those 2 guppys :) red nd yellow they make great looking fry

Please get the discord started I have so many questions that can’t be answered without showing photos

❤❤❤❤

Ypu talked a little about finbendazole i bought some for fish off ebay its 250mg per pack i was wondering how much water to mix it with as i wa t to treat my tanks for planaira. The instructions say to mix one pack with 4oz of food with a little tank water im not wanting to waste that much food.

Good one.. Goat de-wormer at the end was what i was waiting for.. I was told that Pig or dog de-wormer was the best and only effective option for treating livebearers for those red gat worms called Camallanus .. They are freaking me out!! The medicated food i tried did not do a thing.. Green swords, Limia, Guppies, have been hit with this. So this has been a problem for more than 2 months when I first noticed it. Probably more like 6 moths. I swear these might have come from a pair of Egyptian mouth hatchers around that time. The female died after 3 months of getting skinny and finally had a gaping wound in her stomach so I cooked her :/ .. My question is: Are my sword fry, guppy fry, and limia fry infected??I take them out as soon as i notice, and guppy females with week to go, go to a 54 l tank. The fry are from non infected female and infected. My limia fry havent been doing great lately, only 20% get to over 2cm and i worry Camallanus is the reason. I am about to kill off the rest of the obviously infected ones even though they dont look sick and it sucks. But might try to get my hands on some real meds to at least try it instead of just killing them since its a waste of life. What about the unhealthy guppies i have been giving to my friends bush fish being infected?? I have read about them in other fish than livebearers. Think they will digest them since they are kind of big but dont know. These bastards are a nightmare.. I have had the same strain/mix of guppies for over 6 years and I am for the first time in a critical state of having the colony collapse. I wish I had more pictures of the different males that have produced since i started. Had some crazy black tux lemon pastel tails pop up for some years and fantail endlers. I have only two left of what i call Peacock Emerald split/lyre-tail Endlers :) Had them in the mix for a long time. They seem to be the overall most consistant producer. Those and my Emerald snakeskins are my faves. Hope those will keep producing after I cut down population, weather it be due to bad effect of medication or me just cooking them. I am at the point of starting over. Dont know if having 9 aquariums is to my advantage right now or not lol .. Jesus. I have no life :D .. Thanks for another good vid.. Peace !! From København ..

Does anyone know any resource where one could see one of these rock pile fry seperators?

What are the best tankmates for guppies? I have a 50 gallon tank and I’m want other species in my tanks besides the usually Livebearers like the platies or mollies. Any suggestions? Thanks.

so where I live the gh is basically 0 and the kh is 20+ im new to fish keeping like 1 week new and wondering if I could even have guppies with these conditions or can I just add calcium and be ok

Has anyone ever tried to say add in a pinch of salt and keep the salinity really low. Then test if fin rot would basically become nonexistent?

This may seem like a stupid question but will my cobra males breed with my fancy females ?

I know this is an old post but I have a question. what is your opinion on using melafix for bacterial infection in guppies? does it work?

I can't get the exact name of the guy with levamisole instructions from CO. Can you give it here. Thanks

Hi. How hardy are these compared to say, Endlers?

That was so good

will snails live in water with see salt and with guppies?

What did Cory say to use to deworm guppies???

not plastic cardboard tomatoes noooooooooooooooooo great video :)

Sir, what is the main cause of guppy tail colour fading. And number two, guppy tail become shredded broken. And I notice my guppies are always the one dying first. Not other liver bearers. Wonder why.

The hatred that Cory had for tomatoes at that point.

will snails live in water with see salt and with guppies ?????

Anyone know what I would get if I bred my Black Phantoms with my Black Moscows?

Do platys and guppys breed?

GREAT VIDEO

lmao no tomato XD

Nice Cory

Taco Bell tomatoes are pretty bad. I can agree with that lol.

I breed guppies too

Why do I have this feeling endless guppy are stronger than fancy guppy. I have not lost a single endless guppy but already losing one by one of fancy guppy.

Will panacur C harm new born baby shrimp URGENT please

Coloca legenda em português nessa porra que eu não sei ler em english não 😑

I have been studying guppies for 55 years. And five years ago I saw homosexual behavior in male netgupping for the first time. That was very annoying, because I needed those guys to achieve my ideal. And I saw homosexual behavior at Endlers in the pet store last week. For safety's sake, I took a pair of a different breed. But unfortunately that male is also not interested in the female. Hopefully the female has been impregnated by another male. HOW DO GUPES BECOME/ARE HOMOPHIL?

I had shrimp but after a few days I never saw them again ): ... Guppies are fine tho

best purpose for guppies is live bait, i hate them with a passion
