Things To Know When Keeping Guppies - Part 1 

I would save the "waste" water to use for watering my plants. The amount of nitrogen is perfect for fertilizing most flowering plants. The African violets bloomed like crazy!

Thank you canvas mesh for actually kind of like cross stitch….great idea! I con use those for dividers too

I've got a 36 that regularly tops 100+ thanks to the active breeding. I just started a few more ten gallons.

Great vid but one small grip i gotta point out on your comment on 2 types of keepers experienced or learning: everyone who keeps fish be it 1 day or 40 years is still learning how to keep them. the day i claim to know everything is the day i prove i know nothing. :P

What are you planning, tank size, filtration, air system, bare bottom or plants etc. Great thinking mate!

Very informational video! You got my subscription! Thanks!

beautiful examples and good video !!!

Great video man, very informational! Keep it this video really helped me

I really like using the terracotta plant pot trays too. They are very useful.

Thanks for the tips!

that feeding cone is a great idea. wish I had known about that when u had guppies

i had a 65 gallon with over 100 guppies and about 8 other fish, used just a heavy filter and everything was great!

Thankyou I needed this video

That reflection at 3:08 is my favorite type of vitamin water.

ive been thinking of something to use to keep food together . Thanks

nice info thanks

you have such a beautiful set up.. thunbs' up mate :)

Looking at getting some guppies for my 20 gallon tank, and I found this video so helpful! I want to do an all one sex tank so I don't end up with breeding.

Ty for sharing!

45 seconds in and you've already blown my mind bro. Nice! :)

Hey Jorge your rocking the videos the lately. I only have time to get one out a week. The is video was well done and thumbs up.

I gave them living blood worms for the first time , it was like a Nacional Geographic nature films ! They got aggressive like I have never seen before , and even stoled worms from the snails ! Lol ! Oh man , they are very dynamic beasts . Love then .

great video! keep it up!

nitrogen cycle.... for instance my 20 gallon I bought beginning of September.... it is NOV beginning and it just now is down on the ammonia but still has high nitrates.....still has a ways to go before being fish ready.

i have breeding guppies for over 10 years and something I have over a hundred guppies in one pond and they do great . I have twelve ponds and they all do great I also have a 5 gallon aquarium with eight guppies and babies the thing is once you have good filtration and plants the guppies will be great . I change water in all my aquariums every two days so all my fishes are great

Thanks for the help I am getting mine tommarow and this will help I think I am getting 1 male 3females and I yes I do want them to breed I am doing it in a ten gallon tank so I think as long as I keep giving the frie away I will be fine

Great advice indeed 🤗🤗

thanks

I really love your video's I'm just starting with breeding with guppies

Question: I have a new tank and 3 new guppy, all male. I am a true beginner. 2nd day with new fish. One of the fish has remained on bottom of tank in a corner and refuses to swim around like the other two and uses it's tail to push away the other fish. Is it frightened, sick ? Two came from one tank at the store and the hiding guppy came from another tank of males. No, I did not cycle the tank beforehand as I was unaware to do so. Ran the filter for 2 days before hand and put conditioner in also followed by fish.

nice information sir i am also guppies breeding and raising i received nice information from your video

did a nice film--- used a 30 gallon plastic tub outside, under shade-- in south west Nebraska-- temps can be over 100 degrees and this winter finally moved them back inside but they survived temps down to 30 degrees with a 50 watt heater in it, they huddled around it like it was a pot bellied stove-- went in one year from 2 fish to now 600-- problem is finding people to buy them--

I have about 60+ adult guppy in my 40 gallon right now with a lot of babies also.

How do you cleen a tank with fry in it? And I like your viedeos lol.

I got a guppy tank I got 4 and I didn’t do a cycle I just put bottled water from the shop in and so far I’ve had no problems what’s your thoughts on that?

Very good advice :D

great video! Very informative and descriptive. ;D Question; i have gourmai in my tank but i am breeding guppies in there too. It is a 10 gallon with a log hide, big fake plant, tiny terra cotta pot, and a bridge. There are also 4 guppies in there (including my 1 fry.) I was wondering if i would have to give away my gourmai to make room for future fry? (now dont get me wrong i LOVE all the fish i own especially my gourmai; i even named them all! :p)

Have you tried repashy fish food? I've heard it can be useful for feeding fry over long periods of time without making a mess in the tank.

I love the plastic canvas idea.

what airpump do you use which is strong enough for all the tanks? I have same filters, but really want 1 strong airpump for my breeding tanks

I am watching this with my 4 males guppies and two pregnet female guppies. I got them today my first pet!!!

I have a 30 gallon tank I have a lot of moss at the top and ghost shrimp. I change it once a month

I have 30 full grown red delta guppies with more than 60 fries in breeder boxes and three big fancy goldfish.....all in a 32 gal tank. I do 45% water change each day. The tank looks great and busy. Lots of gold and orange red. It’s also a barebottom tank so the water is clean.

Nice Video! I just subscribed!

I’ve got a 10 gallon with two cory catfish and a betta fish (he is very calm) how much do you suggest (I’ve done my research and contrary to what people say, betta fish can room in a tank with other fish as long as it’s a decent size tank)

hi i was wondering what your setup was for you airpump filter and tank dimensions thanks

could u make DIY about your 4 aquarium and setup and price and more info about breeding please

i have a pond near my house with thouseneds of goppies are those safe to keep?

I bought some guppies from a pet store apparently one or two were pregnant, thng is I had pput them in a Half Moon Tank small I might add , so they had babies I have like 25 baby fry . So I bought a Ten gallon Tank system filter etc . So hearing your video Im panicking so should I buy a Bigger tank which I mam getting a 50 gallon tank on Layaway. Am I going to lose them?

Your logic is right, I have been in the fish hobby for 2 years, and my pet shop workers always say, "you will kill your fish if you don't have 1 gallon for each inch of fish" but I think a Guppy in a 3 gallon alone looks so lonely. I had a female Guppy I had since she was born and then a while ago, maybe a few weeks, I got a platy friend for her.

I know I'm late, but I bought a few guppies (male and female) just to have not to breed. I've had them for a year or two now and they still won't stop breeding, it's not bad just a lot of babies

Hey Jorge! Great info! How did you arrive at 10% WC weekly as a minimum? I do WC based on what the nitrate level is. As an example I change 10% in my 450 gallon system daily, I do more if the nitrate level reaches 30 PPM. Which is rare.

30 gallon tank don’t want any breeding what do you recommend for amounts of fish and everything

Hi, nice breeding set up you got there. So what is that red fancy guppy varity called?

Yes please if you can post a video on how to start a new guppy tank from scratch. I’m just starting and have no idea on what I NEED and the nitrogen understanding and all of that

nice video . I have a few guppy breeding at the mo

I have like 7 guppies mixed genders there in a 10 gallon and I have been doing the right stuff and ammonia and stuff but like 1 dies a week so I think I’m doing something rwrong but I can’t figure it out

what should i do when one of my guppy's is swining rapidly up and down in a cowner and going mental

For my 10 gallon guppy tank water changes, I do about 30% every week, and de-chlorinated water is added over a course of 4-5 hours to ensure my fish doesn't go into a shock. Usually what I do is I grab those cheap plastic basket from walmart for like 2 dollars, and have the water mixed with small amount of salt and de-chlorinated chemicals over night, and change water after morning feeding. I have 10 adult guppies (f/m mix), 3 ghost shrimps and a Otocinclus Catfish. Tank is not planted but I have a HOB 100gph filter and a 10 gallon sponge filter which shares a 10 gallon air pump with my 5 gallon breeder tank (so it is a bit under powered).

Are they hardy ? I need some color in my 30 gallon would like to get a few of them..

You can put fish in a newly set up tank if you use Quick Start. It eliminates the whole 30 day cycling thing. I didn't know this existed until recently. ☺

Full red guppy so beautiful

what type of guppy is in the thumbnail/what strain?

@homeaqauticshobby Was that Thera A food you were using?

I have a few tanks, by May 2022 I'll be in the hobby for 1 year. Still learning. I have slightly over 200 fish, 47 different species. All doing great, except I struggle with guppies. I also do 50% water changes weekly clean filters every two months. My local shop mentioned I should clean filters every 3 months. I buy 10 guppies male female mix add to quarantine tank no medicine or salt just as is. Quarantine tank has some plants in and hiding place. By the end of the week I only have about 3 maybe 4 guppies of the 10 left. I bought form 3 different places around me which is the best suppliers we have close to me. With all the same result. Sometimes I have a few fry but the adults keep dying. What can it be. I'm buying guppies now on a weekly basis to get stock levels right. Some channels and websites talks about inbreeding and bad strains, brackish water where they might come from. Should I add salt to my tank to ease them into my water?

I got a question. Im thinking about getting some guppies, but can they be with other fish?

Plz help I have a male guppy fish who change his color from normal to dark Evry hour... Plz what happend??

Can I just use a regular filter instead of a sponge filter?

I got guupies few days back and I just notice two of them are pregnant, I don't know when to separate them.. One female has very dark spot and bulged belly. Need suggestions what to do.

Hey! love your video. I have a 75gallon how many guppies, platys can I have in that? I currently have 8 guppies and 6 platys in my 75gallon. mix sexes. I have owned larger cichlids in the past as well as ornate bichirs, and other exotic fish but never small fish and my tank is cycled. I also have a 55 gallon, 40 gallon and two 5 gallon tanks currently being used for other fish except my 40 gallon.

What is the air filtration you have?

I have an outdoor plastic pond with lot and lot of floating plant. let my guppy and platty lost and control their population themselves. No water change only top up. The do grow pretty slow because I barely feed them they forge for bug and live off algae. What I notice is adult max out much smaller than indoor fish where we artificially feed them daily.

What do you feed your guppies

The mesh is made for things like cross stitch, crewel, and latch hook, if anyone needs help tracking it down.

One question can guppies live like bettas with no filter but with clean water?

I have a 2.5 gallon tank with 3 female (small) guppies. The Guppies seam happy. Swimming all around and playing in the filter bubbles. I have two questions. 1) should I add a snail or/and a ghost shrimp? 2) If I cut the light off they tend to stay at the top of the tank. Do I need to keep the lights on all the time?

I see you keep shrimp with guppies. Do you lose baby shrimp? I have shrimp and put two baby endlers (sold as guppies) and had my neon yellow caridina breed in it. Also is your opinion if I remove substrate I can control detritus worms? I underfed my shrimp and deep suction gravel up to 2 times per week as soon as I see malm on the substrate. I'm about to just quit substrate altogether

What do i do with my guppies if there is to much

I have 6 guppy with tetra cichlid molly platy tiger barb and pleco in 36 CM tank I feed them potato cucumber and weekly 50% water change with methyleblue adding and 2 table spoune of sale

I have 15 fish in a 5.5 gallon tank and I do 50% water changes a week I also feed my fish 1 a week as well

What size tanks are these?

hi, I have started 1 male and 1 female guppy, male guppy dies after 5 days...then the female guppy gave birth to 17 babies after one month, now that babies are growing up slowly, mother and babies all in one tank only, I saw many colored guppies in shop I like it more so I buy some more colored male and female guppies and placed in the same tank. now the problem is slowly one by one gyppy is dying, I don't know why...??? I clean the tank every week once.I feed them twice a day. now I separated babies and mother fish. I have some algae in the tank. can you please help me to save my guppies... Thank you

Can you get artificial plants and not real ones when breeding

if given the choice between a large water change or more frequent smaller changes always do more small changes the the larger the change the more stress on the fish

Nice

I bought 5 fish today to add more color 1 of the 3 guppies I bought died the water ph is perfect added stress coat to the water what did I do wrong?????!!!!!!!!

I am considering a guppy tank and thus really helped. I have a couple questions though. what would you suggest for food? also when breading do you separate the mother from the get as soon as possible so she doesn't eat them or do you leave them together?

Is 2 nerite snails, 4 male guppies, Indian fern and Anubias overstock for a 10 gallon?

what strain of guppy is in the thumbnail?

How much is one gallon?

What name are the red guppies

Is there a way to stop them breeding???? Would turning the heat down work??

I'm new to guppies is their a way I can email and ask u some questions? ?

my Guppies always die off on me :( I don't know why - my water parameters are great and all my neon fish, shrimp and snails are happy! The only guppy that survived has a broken spine but is otherwise super happy and healthy! Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Is it because I got them from a commercial fish store maybe? EDIT: Could it be too much flow?

good video how much do you sell them for

I have a 10 gallon tank with 12 neon tetras, 4 fancy guppies, 2 German blue Rams, 2 dwarf gouramies and 1 pleco. 30% water changes twice a week. Is that over stocked?

I have a ten gallon tank. 5 black skirt tetra. 2 white skirt tetra. 1 black molly. 1 sunset platy. 1 male guppy. 1 female guppy. 1 amano shrimp and 1 pleco, is that too much?

new sub!!! :)

Can I feed blood worm to just born guppy fry?

Can you make a vid of how much money you can make per couple of guppy or per baby guppy? and the expenses per month?
