  • @amberlight27510 1 male 1 female. If you only got 1 female he might kill her. Guppies can get so horny they will actually kill ther tank mates, so I reccomend 2-3 females per male

  • uh your guppies are way cuter then my babys my babys are adults now and they look like the way they were when they were a week old still

  • lol look just like my guppies!

  • Omg I love those guppies I'm raising 500 fry every 28 days cause I have 800 females and 400 males

  • Hey... I kinda Feel Sad Now... Its Been 2 months since i had my last fish tank of guppies.... now i have hamsters... but i really want both... but i cant... i guess i will have to wait till 2 years or 3 years later then i can buy them and start an empire of Guppies! :D

  • So how long all together did the guppies reach adult size? Please REPLY soon! thanks:D

  • whats the name of those plants in the back of your tank

  • Great video how often did u feed and how long did it take them to get to adult size??

  • dont u mean fish not "fishs" lol

  • @jakalkid fishes

  • @strawswirls thanks for the correction lol

  • Do you use a heater in the fry tank?

  • man even the females are sexy

  • Excellent video and lovely fish.

    But you spell 'fishes' not fishs, and they're called 'live-bearers' not lifebearers

  • that blue boy guppy is so colerfole and cute

  • Your guppies are very pretty! I did breeding for 2 years before going to college and losing every single guppy to camalanus worms. This summer, I bought 3 females and I've finally gotten my first drop, I left them in the tank with the adults and at a week old and now to big to be eaten, more then half of them are still alive! Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have some pretty males like yours!

  • what did you feed the fry?

  • @nikejordan214 I fed them with ordinary flake food ... I just crunched it between the fingers so that the flakes are much smaller so that the fries can eat them. The too big flakes were food for the ground cleaning department of the corydoras ;o)

  • @BattlefieldDoktor than you very much my female guppy just gave birth 4 days ago and i thought i had to feed the fry something else rather than flakes..:)

  • oye cual es la canción, que sta muy bien echa

  • @BattlefieldDoktor: Ah! I found it! You should update your information on Tomi Bon Tomi.

    His youtube account is no longer what you said on the video.

    Now it's just "TomiBonTomi", and his website is also different: tbtmusic.com

  • @TFWC88 Woops, yeah ... I totally forgot to give an update about this into the info. Will do it in a few seconds ;o) Thank you for telling me.

  • Comment removed

  • @TFWC88 Hi FFWC88, the names of the songs are mentioned in the credits at the end. First song is "Ain't we sweet", second song is "Bonsession". The new URL of Tomi's channel is added in the description. By the time I created the video he was still having another account. AFAIK he is offering the songs with a Creative Common license.

  • @TFWC88 im not listtening to that radio station thats for sure lol

  • @looneyirish007why would I give a flying fuck what stations you listen to

  • Hi Battlefield Doctor! what is the name of the song you played in this tape please? I'm a radio hostess and would like to feature this track. Great video btw!

  • very good video I love guppies I own 6 of my own right now soon to be more. Two of my girls are gravid.

  • @denisesfeathers Guppies can be fun about the breeding ;o) But often I also had no success because the fries need huge plants to be able to hide and survive vor long.

  • ¿que son esas particulas blancas que parecen nadar tan rapido?

  • What do you feed the babies on, I am expecting some soon!

  • @sayuridp Same as to the adults ... just crushed the flakes between the fingers so that they are much smaller (as small as the rest of a bottle of flake food)

  • how old were they at 1:50

  • @girlsruleschool123 Not sure, it's a few years ago I made that video but I think it was between 4 and 8 weeks

  • how do u keep those plants? mine's always grow thinner and thinner.. and sun light always make the water turn green.. T_T

  • @DotAis4Noobs A friend of mine asked me the same xD ... I did nothing special about the plants. But I think it is because the tank was smaller and so the light was closer to the plants. They grew pretty good in these small tanks but not in other tanks.

  • haha cute- nice work and they are BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • It is baby Fishes.

    Fishs is the sound doors make on star trek.

    Please if you are going to write on Youtube use correct spelling and grammar.

    PS: those plants have a beautiful colour to them, do you CO2 inject?

  • @hatstalker I already know about the fish/fishes/fishs thingy, thank you ;o)

    No, no CO2 inject. The plants were only in my small tanks growing pretty well. I guess because the tank is not too high so the plants are getting more light to grow. But I have no idea ... used the same plants in another tank and they were getting thinner and thinner and slowly growing.

  • My Guppy is verry sick

    white patches on the wings and tail

  • i had 5 female guppies that had babys after babys must been over 100 and only got 30 or so of them rest were eaten i rasied them untill they where older and they sadly died but ilove the guppies

  • cool video did those guppies have guppies

  • @guppylover123 Yeah, I was lucky that they were breeding, too. But no further generation because my heater blew up - but fortunately a lot of these got new homes a few weeks earlier.

  • @BattlefieldDoktor My cousin said when changing the water, you can change the temperature, and you might even trigger the parents into breeding again.

  • water current is pretty strong

  • i love guppies there so awsome :)

  • how long dous it take till the guppies have their full colours?

  • uhm probably around 6 mos.

  • Ich hatte 5 männchen und 12 weibchen (hatten nachwuchs ) daran kanns also nicht gelegen haben. die flossen sind bei ihnen abgefault. war aber keine flossenfäulnis. so ein experte. Aber ich halte keine guppies mehr...;)

  • i would catch mine in front of my house,in a little river,but then when i transfer them to my fish tank,they would loose the color and got weak,i wonder why/?

  • You've removed them from the water quality they were used - different values (even in temperature) can be a problem. I would recommend to also use the water from where you took them and make sure it has the same temperature.

  • that is when they get stressed. they will kill themselves if their tank is not like their natural environment

  • Ich hatte auch guppies;) zusammen mit black mollys. dann habe ich aus versehen einen guppy eines anderen stammes dazugesetzt und der ist mir an den parasiten des anderen stammes eingegangen. Also möglichst keine verschiedenen stämme guppies zusammensetzen...endet meist tödlich...leider...so schön sie auch sind ;)

  • Parasiten? Meinst du die Pünktchenkrankheit oder waren einfach nur zu viele Guppy-Männchen im Becken? Ich hatte mit verschiedenen Guppy-Männchen kein Problem, aber man sollte prinzipiell mehr Weibchen als Männchen halten, auch wenn Männchen hübscher sind. Aber in Sachen Weibchen werden die aggressiv, ohne Weibchen sollen die Männchen wohl widerrum friedlicher sein.

  • nice music check out my vid of one of my guitars on my channel

  • rhe blue one at 3;31 is beautiful

  • wow they grow fast!!!

  • nice video!

  • in romania 3 adult guppys are 1 euro :)

  • That's awesome!

  • ha did you no your baby guppied, towords the end they are also pregnant (:

  • dats way cool

  • which is the temperature that must have water for the guppy

  • Very pretty

  • guppies are great all round begginer and expert there amazing fish easy to tell between sex and easy breading and rearing and are colourful :)

  • They were mostly female i saw 2 male even more fry !

  • so you are from germany :- )

    me to

  • i'm thinking about getting a male and a female guppy, they're so cuteee!!!!! <3 nice vid ^_^

  • Guppies are great tropical fish with a life span around 2 - 6 years! So, those guppies you gave away must be very pretty. I like the guppies with the big open spread back fin. Especially yellow tailed ones.

  • Cute! They are prolific!

    Season's Greetings & MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you a good year with peace, good health, much love and happiness.

    Season's Blessings!

  • where you get the adult guppies from ?

  • I got them from a pet shop in Stuttgart (Kölle Zoo). But they're always having different kind of guppies there.

  • Hello! Cool Video! Is it expensive to maintain guppies? :o

  • Not really expensive since it is a beginner fish and you can get them pretty cheap in the pet shops (at least here). I had a 70 L tank and it cost me approx. 80 Euro with lights and filter pump. The fish is approx. 1-3 Euro depending where you buy it here. But they're mating this much so you can probably have the luck as I had: buying 2 and getting 39 + 15 as second and third generation, lol.

  • I'm doing a science project of 'do plants survive with guppies?', so, can U tell me how to find the perfect plant for he perfect experiment???

  • In this tank I had Elodea callitrichoides ... it is growing pretty good and I sometimes I had this much to give some to a friend of mine. But these plants aren't good when having goldfish coz this plant has too short roots (and goldfish love to eat plants ... so they're pulling them out all the time, haha).

  • Can't belive you had trouble finding homes for them. They are beautiful! It really shows how the longer you wait, the better something becomes. From ugly little fry (no offense) to beautiful fan tails!

  • Well, first when you are telling "guppies" then it is "oh no" ... but when the people saw them then they even wanted more ... so at the end I was lucky to find a good home for all of them.

  • dont put your flow to 0. when you go to put them into another tank or sell them to someone they will be weak because they will have NO muscle and wont be able to fight the flow in larger tanks.

  • No worries, current flow is down to zero because the tank has no more water in it ;o)

  • the flow in the tank is bad, try to reduce it;)

    also a nice bowl of nice babies

  • Thank you ... currently the flow is down to zero since I had a problem with the heater (it boiled my fishies). But the generation I filmed here has good survived ... 36 out of 39 fries is an awesome result. But I also had my problems to find a new home for so many new guppies, haha

  • i had one guppy baby i don't know wy only one but i found two more and they died so my one and only guppy baby stayed in a small tank but two months later it was only the size of my little finger nail and im 12 years imagine my little finger nail its so wierd and last night it died could you give some tips for next time

  • It's always difficult ... I only had the luck twice to find guppy fries before the adults actually ate them.

    I think the size is quite ok after 1-2 months. But it also depends about the food. The smaller the flakes the easier they can eat it. And only put as much into the tank they are going to eat in a few minutes. I fed them twice per day.

    Why your fries died is very difficult to say ... could be also a genetic defect because of overbreeding with incest. So not always your fault.

  • thanx for your answer its was very hellpful ^^

  • how did it die

  • Heard if you leave a goldfish in the dark for like two weeks it will get white my friend did it it looked possesed

  • Good question, I never leave my fish in the dark so I don't know. But I also noticed about my goldfish that they can become white by itself. One suddenly became white after 1 year and another one seems to do the same after 3 years. No idea for the real reason but I read that goldfish are actually white and the orange color was something like a random mutation. But not sure ... I can be wrong ;o)

  • cool check me out rate me fancy guppy babys 4

  • Wow thoes 3 adults not very good. The male was okay but the 2 females looked a bit... Dodged up..

    I have some fry the same type

  • hello this looks like a huge rock core is a coconut? please tell me as processed for putting in the tank. sorry but m english is not very goos. LOL

  • Hi Edgar, sorry for my late reply ... It is a half coconut - you can get it at any shop with stuff for reptiles. It is important to drill a few holes into it because ancistrusses love to swim into it. To ensure to don't bring bad germs or such stuff into the tank you better also boil that coconut in hot water before putting into the tank.

  • thank you very much for your help but that green stuff that looks like a plant or moss grew more like one? or your the sow? As after leaving? tell me please ,well I hope that this time both evenings...

  • Not sure if it is moss or a kind of algae ... after some time I had it on both of my coconuts - it is already entirely on it.

  • WOOT AWESOME!

  • bery good

  • thanks for the reply.

  • hw to tell the diff between male and female mate'?

  • The females are larger and have mostlikely a gray or yellowish body and only the tail fin has color. The males are much more colorful about their bodies and also smaller. The females have a huge belly.

  • also a male as a pointing thing coming out under it cant say what it really is figure it out rueself female jsut has 2 fins under her and like battlefield said

  • how do they grow so fast in my tank it takes a half jear before they are 1,5 cm

  • I fed them good I guess. The flakes were crunched into very very small pieces so it fit their mouth better. Also they didn't need to fight with the adults about the food ... but also I must say that they seem to be bigger in the video than they were coz the magic was also zoom here ;o)

  • hey i wanna get some of these but i only got room for one tank so will the parents eat all of their babys? and how often do they bread, i dont wanna start some kinda farm of 2 million fish haha

  • they breed often and you can put a net like thing to separate the adults from babies

  • well like the rebel monkey said u can get a breeder net so the parents wont eat them if u have ampal or a lot of places for them to hind in it shouldn't be a problem but yes the parents will cannibalize their young another thing is a filter they will get sucked up in so get a sponge filter so that they wont or be like be get some plecos

  • and depends the average realeses fry ounce every month

  • and one mroe thing there called fry for u guppy fry

  • Thank you for the info even if I already knew (I posted it in 2007 and so a few other people mentioned about this minor mistake already, hehe).

  • hot to tell the difference of a female and male guppy a male guppy has coloring on its back fin dorsal fin and its body a female guppy has color only on its back fin

  • Keyboard-Rock Guppies must survive. °|~JoCognito

  • Thanks Jo ;o)

  • i baby guppies and what should i feed them?

  • I fed them with ordinary flake food ... but I crushed it between the fingers so it is small enough for their small mouths. Also don't put too much food into the tank because they're very small.

  • te cangeo dame un macho de cola roja y yo te doy uno de colo blanca con rojo y cuerpo azul esque tengo muchos de esos tipos porfa

  • dame uno

  • ach ich brauch auch mal wieder ein guppy becken (dann müsste ich mia ämlich niht so oft futter kaufenxD)

  • Hehehe, was hast du denn? Piranhas?

  • nene Piranhas würden meine etern nicht erlauben xD ich hab Barsche pimeloduse;)

  • guten tag, ich bin ein zwei und zwanzig jahre alt. ich habe ein guppies zehr ist kult. ich essen eine gurken.

  • Comment removed

  • Ich habe gelesen das das ganzschön verfressene viecher sind. Aber ich habe nicht viel gegeben. alle 4 stunden oder so ein bisschen.

    Oh das ist nicht gut. Hoffentlich passiert mir nicht so was. Möchte sowas nicht sehen.

    Ich guck mal ob irgentwann nochmal Fische haben möchte aber ich glaube im Moment nicht weil, ich möchte wirklich nicht das noch mehr Fische sterben.

    Ich kümmer mich weiter um meine 3 Meerschweinchen.

    Lg christina

  • Oh ja, verfressen sind die schon. Die können aber auch ganz schön alt und groß werden. Das Witzige finde ich immer wenn die fressen wollen dann schwimmen die immer ganz wild wenn die mich kommen sehen. Wenn sie genug haben, machen die das nicht mehr. Ab und zu wollen die Nachtisch, aber wegen der Wasserqualität entspreche ich nicht immer deren Wunsch, hehe.

    Dann viel Spaß noch mit den Meerschweinchen, die sind in jedemfall einfacher handzuhaben :o)

  • Ja Goldfische sind echt finde ich die besten Fische. So schlau!

    Ich wollte noch sagen das mein letzter kleiner Guppy heute Mittag auch gestorben ist. Ich weiß nicht woran es liegt aber er sieht so aus als wäre er aufgeplatzt.

    Ich lass es einfach mit Fischen sein, vielleicht liegt mir es nicht und ich bleibe bei Meerschweinchen.

    Lg christina

  • Autsch ... war es vielleicht bißchen zu viel Futter? Denn die brauchen nur gaanz ganz wenig, weil die so klein sind. Wobei ich schonmal einen Goldfisch durch einen Wasserwechsel gekillt hatte, der ist mir in den Wasserstrahl gekommen und hat wohl etwas Luft in den Magen bekommen. War völlig aufgebläht und ist mir leider nach ein paar Tagen qualvoll eingegangen.

    Bei solchen Erfahrungen möchte man immer gleich wieder Schluß machen, weil man für so viele kleine Leben verantwortlich ist.

  • Ja in der freien Wildbahn überlebt auch nicht jedes Junge. Ich hoffe das ich wenigstens das letzt kleine noch durchbekommen. Wenn nicht : ich hab es wenigstens versucht.

  • Genau so ist es ... Ich hatte nur 2x das Glück schnell genug zu sein die Babies zu finden bevor es die Elterntiere fanden. Und beim ersten Wurf 35 von 39 bis zum Schluß überlebt. Mußte einige an diverse Freunde und Kollegen weitergeben ;o) Haben sich aber alle gefreut weil ein paar Neon-artig blau geleuchtet haben. Beim zweiten Wurf warens nur noch 6 ... und danach hab ichs nicht mehr geschafft und bin umgestiegen auf Goldfische in größerem Becken. Meine ersten Panzerwelse leben auch noch.

  • Ja die vermehren sich wirklich wie Kanickel xD

    Goldfische finde ich auch irgentwie schöner, die sind größer und nicht so anfällig.

    Das ist aber gut das die noch leben.

  • Meine Goldfische waren kleiner als Platies als ich sie gekauft habe ... nun sind die statt unter 2 cm nun schon über 20 cm ... braucht man halt auch ein entsprechend großes Aquarium. Aber sie sind sehr robust und sehr intelligent. Man merkt wie sie reagieren wenn jemand in der Nähe ist und wenn sie keinen Hunger haben sind sie still ... manchmal versuchen sie auch zu tricksen oder wenn man mal ein paar Tage weg ist dann kennen sie einen nciht mehr, hehe, ist echt genial das so zu erleben.

  • Hätte ich das gewusst hätte ich gleich Deutsch geschrieben xD

    Nein ich hatte sie ja extra getrennt dmit sie nicht gefressen werden. Ich habe extra Futter für Baby Fische gekauft und das Flockenfutter mach ich klein und sie haben auch gefressen. Aber aufeinmal waren 2 tod. Ich weiß nicht warum.

  • Hmm, bin ich nun überfragt ... wenn das andere Becken eingefahren ist und die Wasserwerte in Ordnung sind und Futter klein genug, dann kann ich mir nur noch vorstellen, daß die Babys zu schwach waren. Guppies sind leider meist sehr überzüchtet. Bei meinen 39 die ich mal hatte sind letztlich 34 durchgekommen. 35 sind verschwunden. Spötter hier behaupten meine Filterpumpe hätte die aufgesaugt.

  • I have three Guppy Babys too, but today two Babys are dead. It lives one fisch. I am very sad. Why are two Baby fish dead?

    Answer me please!

  • Bei dem Namen schon gedacht du bist deutsch ... dann ists einfacher zum Schreiben ;o) Hast du noch andere Fische im Aquarium wie die Elterntierchen? Die fressen die Kleinen nämlich, können nicht unterscheiden ob das Futter ist oder ein Nachkomme.

    Ansonsten schau daß die nicht verhungern, also das Flockenfutter zwischen den Fingern zermahlen damit es ganz fein ist und nicht zu viel wegen der Wasserqualität.

  • was the pump at all times?

  • No, the original pump was too unreliable and this Eheim pump was much more reliable and not sucking as fast as the unreliable one. So better for the fries.

  • What kind of food supply you with

  • flake food but crushed it into smaller pieces

  • Song name? =]

  • wow those guppies only take a few weeks to get bigger and more colourful! one of my baby guppies has disapeared and they are in a breeding tank so they couldnt have been eaten; does any one know why?

  • i've a question: do you really nead a pump + filter for a 20l tank, or is a heatings element enoufg?

  • I always had a pump and filter in it ... and it always filtered out some dirt so I guess it also has its necessary reason to stay in the tank. If you don't use a filter/pump then you have to change the water pretty often as it also has no waterflow.

  • Cool nice tank!, How much liter goes in it?

  • Thank you ... that one was my old quarantine tank - up to 27 liters.

  • my pregnant fancy guppy gave birth to 43 guppies a couple of months ago, and all of them have there color except one female thats all gray with a black stripe running from her gills to the middle of her tail. anyone know what kind she is? pls respond

  • how long it take from your guppy fry grow in to adults?????

  • I think it were 4-6 weeks but maybe 8 weeks ... I am not remembering it as it was some time ago and I can't get the timestamps of the recording since my firewire connection of my camcorder broke.
