A disgusting amount of guppies

[defeatedqueenimkxxh]

Their not disgusting amount ok? It's nature that you can never change and their beautiful

[yorkiesrule2010]

Pet supply stores like Petsmart can take em off ur hands!! :)

[waffleninja12]

Feeder guppies usually are cheap and don't cost $150 like those big-tailed ones. But in general, no difference.

[douhnutz]

Hey, just wondering is theres any difference between guppies and feeder guppies?

[Lovingboyify]

And who let them reproduce like that? Yup, the disgusting owner himself.

[varun009]

just put in an oscar. you wont have anymore guppies by the end of the week.

[Penguin0fDoom6z]

@varun009 i would give it 2 days if its a big one

[skibbady]

[NSCACOWBOY]

I breed feeder guppies for my flat head catfish he loves em and goldfish

[MegaTman14]

put an oscar in there that should decrease the guppies population

[kuraisong]

@MegaTman14

I actually have a "controlled" guppie breeder tank just to provide a cheap source of live treats for my oscar.

How he loves them....

[AZack23333]

sponge filter will do if you have guppy fry

[alanmaxx]

will a power filter suck up baby guppies, I'm trying to breed them.

[roxsbabe]

Yes.

[GladiatorShield]

a very small filter shouldn't i had that problem once to .

[mastakow1]

i feed guppy babies to my cichlids

[SleazyKitten]

i used to feed my fry to my angelfish they loved babies but they couldn't keep up.they were so fat

[Finalfire9]

thats about the 1/10th of what you should have in there

[Smokeondavidp69]

guppys are a cool fish hey maybe me and you can trade some to cut down on inbreeding! hit me up

[MrRy1995]

ya, i would like some of your guppys. HOOK ME UP!!!!!!!!! hahaha

but really i would

[ziggylogan]

quite a few btw u sound similar to napoleon dynamite

[786san]

omg i want that manny guppys!!!!!!!!! its not disgustin! its jus a lot!

[Sp33dstix]

My polypterus would happily love some of these guys =D

[vincerrr224]

Hook me Up!!!

seriously.

[vornik24]

hei i want them :)) all of them :)

[slippytheturtle890]

in ohio they're 9.99 for 10o of the little fers.

[ortamenx]

Yup thats the way they go. We had a guppy breeding tank, started out 10 guppies. We took out a dozen or so regularly to feed our cichlids, and about six months later, even after taking some out weekly we had a 120 guppies when we emptied the tank.

[nocityboy]

do they use all guppys as feeders or just the commons because if i was to give my fancy guppys to a fish store i dont want them to put them in the feeder tank.

[ortamenx]

Usually they don't use fancy guppies as feeders, a common guppy about 25 cents, a fancy guppy about 1-4 bucks dependent on your location.

[halo3rules00]

since they're babies you cant really tell what they will look like color wise, you should show the adult tank to make people more interested in getting some of yours, cause for all they know those could be ugly and/or colorless. not sayiong yours are but people can jump to that conclusion. you can try selling them to a local pet store, butt hey will most likely be used as feeders :(

[imabadspeler]

I really want just feeder guppies but i haven't been able to find them

[Sp33dstix]

Big Al's aquarium services has them for 15 cents each.

[SleazyKitten]

ya dn they'll buy them for 5-10 cents a fish.fuck that.for all the time you spend looking after them and raising them sell them yourself like I am for double what big al's would pay for it.Big Al's has gone to the shitters after Al sold the biz.

[metalMorpher]

in new york they are $1 a dozen and i have a crap load of them.

[seka1986]

Lately I don't see feeder guppies at Petland or Petco. I see more of those orange colored feeder minnows.

[brockhammerstein]

i have a gar ill loan you guppy problem solved

[mikeeeabc]

were did u buy them becaese i want some

[Canopenner]

at a local live fish store.

Most "wild guppies" will be cheap and prolific given good (or even semi bad) water conditions and weekly cleanings.

3 dollars a dozen has made me a million billion of them.

[douhnutz]

@Canopenner my lps sell them for 13 a dollar :D

[sprayprayanddie]

@Canopenner lol 3$ for a dozen? mate what country do you live in? Try $3 each you should start an export business.

[MrGreengiant15]

@sprayprayanddie i payed 1.99 a dozen..lol.there feeder guppies they reproduce like flies.lol.ther arent worth the value of a real guppy

[jumbogumbo415]

did u seperate the guppies when they are pregnant or did u leave them together?

[Canopenner]

I hear you are SUPPOSED to sperate out the prgnant females, but I just have a clump of floating plastic plants in there and it seems to be fine.

I also HEAR that after the first few drops the parents will stop eating their young, if thats why your asking.

:^)

[edwiny263]

do u live in texas because i live in vancouver

[Canopenner]

no I live in MN.

Too far from either place.

[edwiny263]

where do u live

[edwiny263]

i want some

[Canopenner]

ok, meet me in the perkins in brainerd MN, specify the time you can be there and Ill give you as many as you want.

or we can discus shipping options.

But your best bet is probably to goto the local live fish store and buy "feeder guppies" for 2-3 dollars a dozen.

:^)

[Caimingchang]

US$2-3 only for a dozen guppies? That's so stupid! In Singapore, you can get at least 25 feeder guppies for S$1. I always get my feeder for free, I go down to the local drain and catch them when I feel like givin' my fish a treat :)

[Canopenner]

everything is more expenive in the the US.

I just give them away because they breed out of control.

The good news is once you spend 3 dollars you never need to buy another one.

[shawnfromhertz]

live in texas i want some guppies

[smcknight0628]

ok, this will be time consuming , but SEPERATE the males and females!!!!!!! Its the only way to keep them from reproducing. They start showing their sex at about 4 weeks old, once you know for sure what the are, seperate them!!!

[Canopenner]

why would I want them NOT to reproduce? I dont mind killing them by the bucketfull.

If I was to start seperating them I would need more tanks...More tanks=more cost where as for me to kill them costs nothing. I let the prettiest ones live and kill the rest...My "feeder" guppies at 8 months of breading are almost totally color filled and even the females have started to show color. Things seem to be going swimingly and soon I can start selecting for fin size/shapeinstead of color.

[Canopenner]

Plus Ive been pawning them off on my friend who keep cichlids, another friend who is an angelfish breeder and another friend who has african dwarf frogs. Also my dwarf puffer likes to eat the babies.

[smcknight0628]

And you mentioned that you still have a large population of them. I'm not saying that you get ten different tanks. If you seperate them, you can control their breeding and you and pick and choose what color, fin, size combinations you want.

My setup is two 10 gallon tanks and a small 2 gallon tank. I use the smaller tank as my breeding tank. At this point, I got about 30 pairs of guppies, and about 50 fry that just hatched between 2 mothers this morning.

[Canopenner]

well, at this point I am worried about getting base color in them...Getting rid of the plain ones...I do have a bunch of other tanks but they all contain guppy eating fish or amphibians/crustations...

From what I read female guppies will try and select the most colorful males anyway...And I know that once I start selecting and moving them between tanks (Instead of selecting and just killing them) Ill end up wanting more and more tanks...Ive heard of people filling their garges with 50 tanks.

[Canopenner]

My wife is telling me that one more fishtank and Im sleeping on the couch perminantly. heheh

Maybe Ill try and get a picture of some of my best males and get it posted.For the most part I think my breeding program is a success. And like I said I dont mind killing hundreds of the little buggers.Its only that my wife thinks the amount of guppies in the tank is disgusting.BTW how long have you been breeding in the 2.5 tank setup?A friend of mine says he cant his to breed in a small tank like that.

[0100110101001011]

i def gotta try this out. it costs a lot to feed an oscar.

what do you feed those little ones?

[Canopenner]

I feed them crushed flake, or crushed bloodworm, or crushed mysis shrimp, I guess the unifying theme there is crushed.

Be careful tho, they really snowball, I have probably about 5 times this many now, and I give them away to a million people, and feed the babies to my dwarf puffer, Be careful tho I heard that feeding a fish a diet exclusively of guppies will give them malnutrition. or for an oscar you might be better off using mollies because they breed just about as much but are bigger.

[starjelli]

That's weird. I hear of so many people's guppies breeding like rabbits, and mine just won't. Some come pregnant (they're feeders) from the LFS, have their fry, and then just stop.

>:( I don't know what's wrong...

[Canopenner]

I find that by varying the temperature between 70 and 80 the guppies pop and reproduce much more rapidly, also I heard they wont breed in too small a tank or one that needs a water change very badly.

Good luck. I would hate to buy feeder guppies all the time, even at 2 bucks for 24 that much add up.

[sgcsc]

get some south american cichlids, that will solve your problem

[zaracki92]

lol....true

[heireb]

good lord. if anything, sell them to pet stores. they are always willing to take them off your hands.

[etria702]

lol, i have the same problem in my newt tank. i put in 4 guppies 2 months ago for snacks and now my tank is overstocked and i dont know what to do. i feed some to my bettas but they can only eat so much. there is incest going on in there. is there anything that eats guppies that wont hurt my newts?

[askvideos1]

Sell or donate them to a pet store. OR. Get a new tank because guppies breed like CRAZY!

[etria702]

i got more bettas, and another tank for the little things.

[dangelgregz]

dude... gimme some... OMG... gimme some... i hope you're from east coast :(

[Canopenner]

sorry dude north central. MN. Sad really, cause now I have about 3 x that many. I am giving them to a angelfish breeder I know for food. But his angels cant eat them as fast as they reproduce.

[boogersinmynose]

Rofl where do you live i want some guppies

[Canopenner]

small "wild" guppies used to feed bigger fish.

[Canopenner]

Im doing a 2-5 year project turning feeder guppies into fancies by selective breeding and culling.

So far about 4 generations in and its going great, guppies look alot more colorful and they are starting to get larger.

:^)

[fishbreeder87]

whats a feeder guppy

[Canopenner]

a small "wild" guppy used to feed bigger fish.

[fishbreeder87]

do they still have the nice colours?

[Canopenner]

They get nicer with each passing generation. Of course I am killing the least colorful ones...Only the most colorful mate and have offspring. Its a eugenics project basically.

[zayfoe]

hook me up! haha so like why do you have fugly feeder guppys when you could have colorful fancy guppies??

[dkdoll]

I donno... wild guppies are the only fish that are actually interesting.

Most other fish are expensive and ugly.

[KillaBee297]

wow can you hook me up ill pay u

[Canopenner]

I wouldnt call it a problem.

I used to kill them all nicey nice...but now I rinse them down the drain and throw them in the rain.

I have other fish that would eat them too but I dont want them to get away and run rampant in that tank.

[odcoolshark75]

Dude you should buy a Spotted Climbing Perch. He will take care of your guppy problem. These fish grow 7in.long
