5 Gallon mixed live bearing fish tank *Guppies, Platy, Molly, Snail*

[ES31710]

I had a question does it seem tht a five gallon is suitable for a guppies and platys

[MissCountryChloe]

@ES31710 Yes it is! But if you don't want any babies, make sure you get all male or all female, that are not pregnant!

[czechivan]

beautiful.....

[MissCountryChloe]

@czechivan Thank you so much!

[laughlivelove143]

nice tank, I was thinking about gettin one male&female mollys.. will they breed? check my tank out on my channel!:)

[hollister602]

How do you do that without the fish being territorial?!



[MissCountryChloe]

@hollister602 You know, I'm not sure. I've never had any of my fish nip fins or anything. Sorry :P

@MissCountryChloe there all new right? I got a 10gal with a platy a betta 2 cory cats 2 african dwarf frogs and 1 snail, every time I try to add another platy, the one I already have attacks the new 1s every time, but I bet if she hadnt had the tank to her self the last 4 months she wouldnt be trying to kill the new fish. Its funny my betta is all mellow and doesnt mind other fish, and then my platy trys to kill any 1 new. Anyways I think new fish with new fish do better then new with old

[MissCountryChloe]

@whiteboypatrickkelly I got all these fish at different times, and I've never had any fighting problems. I'm just lucky I guess. Maybe try getting a breeding net and putting the new fish there for a day and then let it free?

[whiteboypatrickkelly]

@MissCountryChloe I have the probel I got is I cycled the tank with my 1 platy and the betta so they where the only 2 things in the tank for the 1st 3 months I had the tank, any ways she loves the betta, she fallows him and schools with him its cute and weird anyways I think she has gotten so youse to the betta she doesnt like her own kind, I could only get a boy platy and then they will make puppies and I dont need 100s of platies, its cool shes happy not being in a group, she loves her betta!

[irisdaisey]

thanks:)

[irisdaisey]

can you put 2 guppies and 2 mickey mouse platies in a 5.5 gallon tank??

[MissCountryChloe]

@irisdaisey Yes! :) I would also buy a back up tank though, because they may breed. Like a 3 gallon for any babies. Feel free to send me a message if you need some help!

[marcellokid14]

did u breed any of these fish?

[MissCountryChloe]

@marcellokid14 Yes! The two at 0:09 made beautiful babies!

[bulloran1965]

are those dwarf platys?

[MissCountryChloe]

@bulloran1965 You know, I'm not really sure. This is the first Platy I ever got, and it only said "Sunburst Platy".?

[siwiki12]

[laurelmek]

How long did your platys last? I have a similar set up

[MissCountryChloe]

@laurelmek I've had the platy since July 2010, and she is still alive and well!

[2213catlover]

how many can you keep in that 5 gallon? really beautiful fish! =)

[MissCountryChloe]

@2213catlover Since my fish are relatively small, I can keep 10 fish at max in this tank.

[54321dude1]

@MissCountryChloe dude u neeed a 30 g for all of em

[MissCountryChloe]

@54321dude1 Are you kidding? These are small fish, they all have lots of room to swim in.

[54321dude1]

@MissCountryChloe haha u need 29 because they need a bunch of then sholes so besides the only fish u can put is a betta

[ojojojka2]

@MissCountryChloe they need 1 gallon per 1" of fish

[MissCountryChloe]

@ojojojka2 I have a 10 gallon now, with the same amount of fish.

[MrGreengiant15]

@ojojojka2 thats not a good way of telling

[Blueyary21]

at 0:31 is that platy? its cool looking!

[MissCountryChloe]

@Blueyary21 Yes it is :) My very first platy. I got it at Petland, I believe it's called a Tricolor. Thanks for watching! <3

[MrTumer213]

wen yuhh buy them at a pet shop r they already adult enough to breed?

[MissCountryChloe]

@MrTumer213 Yes! If the guppies are atleast 1 inch long, they can begin to mate (safely.) Thanks for watching!

[austinktaylor4]

i like the fish at 0:04 what type of fish is that and where can you get it 

[MissCountryChloe]

@austinktaylor4 That is a Male Lyretail Guppy. If you have any fish stores around you, you can probably find it. I got mine at a small pet store. Sometimes Petsmart and Petco will have some.
