I have a 46 litre tank, (10 gallons). I have a few neons like tetras, ghosts, glass. I recently bought 2 females and 1 male, would these be likely to breed??? somebody PLEASE help!!!
I made no effort in trying to breed guppies....i got 20 guppies from the petshop for 2 dollars threw them in a 10 gallon tank....now i got about 40 guppies in 3 weeks.
its not a simple as well to buy a tank and set it up.. a tank needs cycling before any fish can go in or you will end up losing more fish than its worth.
inaccurate information in this video.. guppies when pregnant are ready to drop do not always have a dark gravid spot, this is not a good way to predict the drop.. when ready to drop the guppy will be unsocialable, hide away, be very static, and mainly just dwell.
the ratio of males to females is 1 male to every 2-3 females to stop harrasment.
@5teady using gravel is also not a good idea, the fry can swim under gravel and become stuck and grow under the gravel where they become trapped completely and die.
sand or a bare bottom tank is best, using lots of java moss on weights to keep it on the bottom is best for the fry to hide, or attach a lot to bogwoods.
Guppys have fry every month, or 28-35 days, not 12-28 days..
be prepared for lots of fry when breeding guppies
@5teady you additional tanks set up for the fry, like a 10 gallon, the fry go quick and your main tank will end up over run.you need to find a local fish store that will take them in for cash, or exchange, or free
hi as soon as the female is preg when does she give birth and when do i seperate her and how log until she can breed again and last can i keep the adult guppies with small goldfishes? thanks i subbed please sub back and btw nice vid
Breeder nets suck, though! Aren't you supposed to put fry in a separate tank? I started with 24 guppy fry, and only one of them is left now, and I kept them all in two breeder nets!
instead of wasting that much money you can go to pet land and get a 10 gallon tank with plants,gravel,filter,air pump,charcoal,air tubing,instructions all for 16.88. if you wanted a hood w/lamp for 23.00 or 29.00
So i have a 10 gal with 2 females guppys 3 males and 2 plattys, I have a few decorations like a fake bridge and a sign, so I just need fake plants to let the fry hide, not real ones?
@KongregateBadgeQuest anything that is busshy or thick. java moss is very good or horn wort. you can also have fake plants but they need to be dense so the others dont see them. you can make your own things for your fry to hide in like a breeding mop. to make it you take wool and make 10 strips 12 inch long, bunch them togeather in the midle and tie them to a cork. you will now have 20, 6inch long pices of wool dangeling in your tank. because of the cork it will float. mrfishlover14 here to help
@djromeboy25 You have it all backwards. You need 2 or 3 females for each male. This will make the females a lot happier because they won't be chased around so much, and the males with become less aggressive. You need to add at least 3 more females to your tank.
@djromeboy25 the best thing you can do is get 3 more females because you dont have the corect ratio. if the males are doing that then it is just a matter of time before she is pregnant.
@BAEnErGYzZ I have a heater but I'm a bit worried though. Everyone says that the water must be at a "tropical" degree, and it's true. But, I've also heard that if those things malfunction... overheat.... complete disaster. So I'm not sure if they're good or bad, but I still have one.
@BAEnErGYzZ they don't adapt, they try to survive and then they slowly and unhappily die from illness. It opens them up to infections and allows things like ick to kill them. Its stupid to think that you can take an animal that has evolved to deal with constant temps of 82, to think that they don't need a heater. I think maybe you should do a little experiment. Keep your house at 59 degrees for a few days, and your not allowed to wear anything but your underpants. Maybe that'll make you think.
idiot, for saying tropical dont need heaters!!! first of all its tropical fish, its means they live in warm water, and tropical fish lives in tropical country and they dont have a winter!!
If you need tanks, go to craigslist btw if anyone needs one that's probably the best place. Also, I've heard that you should have 2 girls for every guy. Nice video tho
have had probs with pregnant guppys dying just before dropping fry, i have lost 2 this way and have 2 more pregnant ones do you know how i can stop this from happening again.
do u think it would be bad to put the 1 girl and 1 boy guppy in the breeding tank until she gets pregnant. then take the boy out and leave the girl in the breeding tank until it gives birth?
[i cant get an extra tank but my large tank already has a heater and filter]
@x3rawrjoycex3 that is the best method that most breeders used! Keep the breeding male and female in the breeding tank, then remove the male after he fertilized the females eggs. After the female gave birth, remove her as well. (LMFAO with your "1 girl and 1 boy guppy") lol
@tez1204 are u an idiot. Did the $ not make it obvious enough?
Anyway, helpful video :)
I've been keeping a 70 gallon tank with a lots of cichlids for the past view months (videos on my channel) but I have a 20 gallon tank unused now so I'll probably buy a few guppies and tetras tomorrow to fill it.
I have a Question! My female Bue Galaxy Guppies seems to be avoiding all of my male Guppies. Once male(s) go near her,she will chase them off. I was wondering if you can help me.
Hi I have a fish tank 2.5gal with 1 male 2 females( one pregnant one not) and I don't have fake plants I have not alot of real plants in this tank. I don't have A bubble filter so I put a net around the filter. Wat I'm going to do is let them have the babies and if I see any aggression I will ether remove the adult fish and put them in my tengal or split the tank. Will this work?
@TheChamoNY If you live in santa monica, visit Pets Of Wilshire. It has a heater for 12.36 (including tax) they have only one left though, I bought the 2nd to last one, and they've been there for a while because they had a hell of a lot of dust on them. they aren't gonna restock soon, I assure you that.the heaters have been there for 2 years., but work great!
@mrwhatnottodo The fry will have to be either kept in another tank for about 2 months or until they aren't small enough to be eaten. If you just let them hide for a while most will die from being eaten
@LilKolo523 you dont need to seperate the fry from the parents! i have found out that live barers will not eat their own young! this only aplies if you keep your fish well to almost over feed. 2 times a day and the female and male will not eat them. problem is other fish will so if you have a different type of fish in your tank i recomend you seperate them. but other than that your good. =] mrfishlover14 here to help.
@mrwhatnottodo i leave all my fry in the same tank ive never taken them out if you leave them in the tank the guppies will get use to seeing fry and wont even bother to eat them ofcourse keep your fish well fed and also put lots of floating plantsfor hiding i have a huge cluster of plants skinny plants i never replanted they just float at top of tank and babies also look for cool hiding spots and will do fine.also hiding spots encourage breading p.s worse case you can ad them in after a month
wait are guppys tropical fish?!?! do they have to be in warm water!?!?! i just bought guppys and they are in mild water right now!!! (room temperature water) plz help!
I use maybe a 5-8 gallon tank with a medium sized cheap filter, a heater, some fake grass, and rocks. I started with 2 guppies and ended up with like 20 haha Anyway I just had the pair in the tank and they did it themselves.....no special equipment etc. and they all grew up fine... unfortunately some did get sucked up into the filter but I can't really change that
This IS Wrong :/ You Need A Litre Per Inch Of Fish + You Need 2.5 Female To 1 Male Ratio :)
You Give The Guppies Hardboiled Yolk And Keep The Heater Up On 32 For The First 3 Weeks To Help The Growth . . . This WILL Keep All The Babys Alive And Healthy :)
@ThePastaManCan ratio should be 3 females to 1 male because the females can get stressed out from the male chasing them all day. I would advise you take the babies out and put them in their own tank if you want maximum fry survival.
@3829882 Let me put it this way, you could just get a tank and fill it with water and guppies, but your going to run into a lot of problems. First your guppies will be unhealthy because the water is not clean because you didnt buy water cleaner. Second your without a filter your guppies will be unhealthy. Third without a heater they might die. Fourth even if they do breed and there are babies the babies will be eaten by the parents because you didnt get gravel or plants. So the answer is YES
@LilKolo523 Dude im a fish breeder myself i dont touch guppies because they are prone to disease im not saying yours have any but thats a fact. But my breeding setup consists of 20 2ft tanks a high volume airpump running filters i chose the air filtration system to eliminate and isolate diseased fish more work maintaining but thts the price u pay for quality that filter u got in there is a common fry killer i had one and it was causing me flow problems it was cleaned regularly. GL with ur guppys
@LilKolo523 Dude a word of advice switch ur filter for an air pump and foam bubbler u will have more fry per batch i bet u get a few stuck to the filter when they breed not just dead ones and dont forget to use EASYLIFE a stoned fish is a happy fish lol.
@Internettroll1 In the video my fry are in a different tank. Second an air pump is a good idea,BUT without a filter your fish aren't going to last long. Besides many filters pump air into the water so if you can get one that does that that i have in the video, you really dont need an air pump
@layerba714 well heres the deal: Breeding net you dont have to constantly look for fry and you are guaranteed all the fry are safe. No breeding net: you have to have a very well planted aquaruim for the fry to hide, you have to constantly look for fry. So i'd say either make one or just spend the 5$ on the real one
@Kikyo361 well first of all, guppies don't lay eggs, they give birth to live babies. Secondly guppies will mate if you have them in a coffee cup, just kidding of course, but if you have male and a female they WILL breed and if you mean how long until you see babies from the female it's about 1 month after the mating proceses
i have some guppies in a community tank that are soposed to be male. but a couple of them are nudging and playing. they have known eachother for about 4 weeks. i just hope one is female -- i don't want gay fish!! so should i seperate them to another tank and hope for the best?
Any advice for someone who has 2 guppies, a female "Fancy Mixed Guppy", and a male "Blonde Guppy"? I've wanted to try breeding them just to see what happens, and sell a few for 10 cent profits.
@MentalWyro P.S. I checked my female guppy, and it's a brownish gravid spot instead of the black gravid spot people usually see. Is that normal or will it not work?
wow, a heater for $8 dollars, damn, i dont where you live but i live in sacramento, califonia, and a heater over here costs like 12.99 a piece..thats a kool video..goodluck!
@GuppyNovice Sounds pretty good to me i would suggest getting a another female so you will get more fry and so there is less stress on the females other than that your good to go
guppies survive without heater :D my guppy frys are on a separate smaller tank with no heater and when they are full grown u put them in your tank like you would do to your Purchased fish and by that i mean clymatizing
@Fr0z3nBarrage yes, definitely move the parents they will eat their own fry if not moved. In terms of what to feed the fry you could simply crush up fish flakes into a powder or take a hard boiled egg and take the yolk and mix it with some water to get a paste and feed TINY amounts of it to fry

after the female have done giving birth do i have to put them under treatment . and what i have to do
hectorgroldan 1 year ago
@hectorgroldan all you have to do is put them back in the tank after a couple days of rest.
LilKolo523 1 year ago
In my opinion, that big gravel is not a good idea. The fry may fall in the gaps, although it usually tries to be on the water surface :-)

do you NEED all of the stuff on the vid? because i want to breed guppies but my dad doesn't want spend that much money
3829882 1 year ago
@3829882 Let me put it this way, you could just get a tank and fill it with water and guppies, but your going to run into a lot of problems. First your guppies will be unhealthy because the water is not clean because you didnt buy water cleaner. Second your without a filter your guppies will be unhealthy. Third without a heater they might die. Fourth even if they do breed and there are babies the babies will be eaten by the parents because you didnt get gravel or plants. So the answer is YES
LilKolo523 1 year ago
@LilKolo523 Dude im a fish breeder myself i dont touch guppies because they are prone to disease im not saying yours have any but thats a fact. But my breeding setup consists of 20 2ft tanks a high volume airpump running filters i chose the air filtration system to eliminate and isolate diseased fish more work maintaining but thts the price u pay for quality that filter u got in there is a common fry killer i had one and it was causing me flow problems it was cleaned regularly. GL with ur guppys

@3829882 YES
LilKolo523 1 year ago
@LilKolo523 Dude a word of advice switch ur filter for an air pump and foam bubbler u will have more fry per batch i bet u get a few stuck to the filter when they breed not just dead ones and dont forget to use EASYLIFE a stoned fish is a happy fish lol.
Internettroll1 1 year ago
@Internettroll1 In the video my fry are in a different tank. Second an air pump is a good idea,BUT without a filter your fish aren't going to last long. Besides many filters pump air into the water so if you can get one that does that that i have in the video, you really dont need an air pump
LilKolo523 1 year ago
@LilKolo523or you could put tights over the filter to keep it going, and so your guppies wont get sucked in.

BREEDING NET IS IT MANDATORY OR IMPORTANT
layerba714 1 year ago
@layerba714 well heres the deal: Breeding net you dont have to constantly look for fry and you are guaranteed all the fry are safe. No breeding net: you have to have a very well planted aquaruim for the fry to hide, you have to constantly look for fry. So i'd say either make one or just spend the 5$ on the real one
LilKolo523 1 year ago
ALSO! what do fry eat the same food as the adult or special food
layerba714 1 year ago
HELP! so the filter, wont that kill the fry and also water cleaner isnt that the thing to remove the chlorine
layerba714 1 year ago
so can u put the fish that just gave birth into the tank with the male and then leave the fry in the breeding thing by themselves?

i have a male and a female in a breeding trap thinggy... it will seperate the eggs from the parents if any mating happens....
but.. will they mate? how long does it take usually?
Kikyo361 1 year ago
@Kikyo361 well first of all, guppies don't lay eggs, they give birth to live babies. Secondly guppies will mate if you have them in a coffee cup, just kidding of course, but if you have male and a female they WILL breed and if you mean how long until you see babies from the female it's about 1 month after the mating proceses

i have some guppies in a community tank that are soposed to be male. but a couple of them are nudging and playing. they have known eachother for about 4 weeks. i just hope one is female -- i don't want gay fish!! so should i seperate them to another tank and hope for the best?

Any advice for someone who has 2 guppies, a female "Fancy Mixed Guppy", and a male "Blonde Guppy"? I've wanted to try breeding them just to see what happens, and sell a few for 10 cent profits.

@GuppyNovice Sounds pretty good to me i would suggest getting a another female so you will get more fry and so there is less stress on the females other than that your good to go

guppies survive without heater :D my guppy frys are on a separate smaller tank with no heater and when they are full grown u put them in your tank like you would do to your Purchased fish and by that i mean clymatizing
Good breeding and aquarium keeping

2) if yes how do i do it?
3)if no: then aint there a chance for them to die?!

Fr0z3nBarrage 1 year ago
@Fr0z3nBarrage yes, definitely move the parents they will eat their own fry if not moved. In terms of what to feed the fry you could simply crush up fish flakes into a powder or take a hard boiled egg and take the yolk and mix it with some water to get a paste and feed TINY amounts of it to fry

@YugiohGeek123 usually that means that they are breeding
