  • what happened to the mom fish? did she died?

  • @jovell005 POWDERED FISH FOOD. and seperate them from momma

  • I have a male guppy that looks almost exactly like yours and both my females are red tailed with blonde bodies, will any of the fry have tails like the dad? When the male and female are different do the fry turn out different like some like the mom and some like the dad or will they all have both colors or be one color or the other? That may be a crazy question but I can't really find a good website that explains the genetics.

  • @CaramellCutie101

    thx i got oscars :P

    i got another tank ill see i might get guppie

    thx for the helpful response

  • @will20091995 Your welcome

  • hey am just wondering

    do i keep the babies with the parents or do i separate them ? thx

  • @will20091995 lol don't even think about keeping them together ! they will eat them all !

    what I would suggest is that you can either keep them in their breeder , or in a separate tank :)

  • @AugustFlower14

    oh , that really helped thx a lot

    ill make a mix tank

    silver shark

    guppies

    and some other fishes =D thx a lot

  • @will20091995 well ask wherever you buy the fish from , if guppies are compatible with silver sharks and other types of fish , because they might eat each other :)

  • hey am just wondering

    do i keep the babies with the parents or do i separatef them ? thx

  • at what week do the guppies start there color? my fish just gave birth to six and i think there are still more to come

  • @EmoRylee366 well in general they start to emerge with little dots of color on the tail... small pigments of color are found on their tails around week 7 to 10 depending on their growth spurt and what you feed them! good luck..! feel free to ask questions! :)

  • @superfish99 thank you. they are now at least two weeks old now, only had six and some have dots of black. one has an all black tail. i just released them into the adult tank today, and i don't see them right now since they are in the rocks. I hope i can see them soon when they get bigger.

  • @superfish99 what do you feed baby guppies? ...or do they eat algie?

  • I called the pet store and the dude said that with all the duckweed in my tank the fry should be ok free to swim the tank! yayz!

  • My guppy just had a LOT of babies... Can you give me some tips on how to take care of them? I didn't even know she was pregnant so I didn't get to prepare

  • hey how can i see that mij guppy giving birth??

  • okay so i just totally got a surprise a few mins ago...BABY GUPPIES!!! lol:P what do i feed them?

  • @froggieluv97 :.....

    hey so wat i did is i took the normal flake food that you give o tropical fish like guppies and neons... and you crumble like a good amount of it in a small bowl to a point were the flake food is like powder or the size of a grain of sand... then you one small pinch of that and put it in with them... repeat this feeding process at least 4 times in the day or more depending if they look hungry!! have fun and please ask if you have anymore questions!...

  • U left them in the breeder for a pretty long time, i would have released them at 4 weeks, once they get bigger they get more stressed in that small breeder thing

  • So how long did it take until your guppy fry reached full size (adult)? Did you do anything to help them grow faster? PLEASE REPLY SOON!:) Thanks:))

  • Need help here

    i got soe frys what do i feed them? they are only 1 days old

  • Can anybody tell me why one of my fry is five times bigger than the rest--incredibly confused!!!!????????

  • @titsandcheese it was prolly from a different batch ,and you just never notice him i have had plenty of guppies that i didnt even realize had babies and found fry. Lol . or he might be the alfa male of them and eat a lot of there food, just try and feed quite a bit and throw in some algae wafers that is always a treat all your fish will enjoy. hope this helps..

  • @titsandcheese mine too... one of my guppy fry is 4 times smaller than the others. I think this is about dominance, the alpha fry gets more food because the alpha rules. But once a fry is weak, it'll get bullied by the others and ended getting inly a very few of food and it won't grow up... Still small. Your giant fry is probably the most dominant fry.....

  • I play or I can raise these fish die without oxygen or any one of you please repondamen is that I have 2 males and a clutch and do not want to die quickly respond

  • wud guppies eat other fishes fry?

  • @TheDogh8ter Hey, female guppies can eat their fry sometimes one or a few but is pretty rare!... and other female guppies can possibly take interest and eat the whole batch!!!... but i mean after my second birth with my female she gave birth to about 10 and i left them in the tank and not in the breeder cage and they were doing just fine even with the tetras and the algae eater (plecostumus)... good luck! have fun!...

  • @superfish99 i no i never take them out i find over time they get use to seeing fry and dont even bother trying to eat them

  • i have some too about 12 of them and they have some color already =) too bad theres a female bitch that ATE them but week ago it died :O

  • @ipodyoshi ouch sorry bout that...! but dont worry you will get your females have their gravid spot... ( black spot near the belly).....! ggod luck!

  • awesome video, thank you for sharing :D

  • Nice video!

  • i have those female guppie! she had over 30 babies. and the babies's father is a orangeish with black, almost same to tiger color. but more yellow, white, orange.

  • hrmmm forget the song... we sang it in music class... the song authors were The Beetles. the octapuses garden one... anyway im breeding the guppies too and i cant wait to see my moms face when she gazes upon many, many, MANY fish. shes like gonna die or something

  • my baby gupps are like pre teens that some dont have color but some do and i had them in a seperator like your were doing and ummm the adults died in my moms tank because i put them there and took them out of the seperator to get more exersise

  • will the females baby have babies because my female baby has the color on her tail and it looks prego is it?

    

  • Awwe!! They're so cute! I have to wait till I move out before im aloud any fish, ( even though i can take care of them)

  • hi!! this is really great! =D thanks for uploading. today, i saw 2 baby guppies in my guppy tank! im not sure how long they can survive bcoz other guppies are in there too..and i cant catch them bcoz they are too small and always invisible..please help! i want to know when my guppies are pregnant so i can put them in the breeders tank!!

  • Normally the adult male guppies will do no harm to the fry...But some females can eat one or two babies but it is rare but possible. the babies always stay near the bottom of the tank and if you are patient enough put the net in the water and find one they are always near the bttom and swim slowly when they are not menaced.. the babies in the breeder cage actually were born in the tank and i caught them in the net and put them in the breeder cage. just try a bit. if you have questions please ask

  • *sniffle* they grow up so fast! *sniffle* literaly!

  • very good

  • WAY TA GO ON DEDECATING YOUR SELF!:D:b

  • i have 2 guppy that are going to have fry. i just want to know if its ok to put a divider in my main tank like one half has the fry and the other has the adults. is that ok?

  • and one more question would a fish bowl work to separate them and then put them in a bag when there bigger to adjust to the water in the tank.

  • yes that would work and avoid a round fish bowl because it distorts the fishes eyes! more like a rectangular form! and when catching the fry in a net be careful to not hurt them as for they can be damaged and when dropping them into the bag they will stick to the net! good luck and feel free to ask me questions!!!! ttyl!.

  • do you think at least one guppy fry would survive loose in the tank.

  • yes normally they are very smart but i haveseen my female eat one of her babies.... normally they stay near the bottom of the tank and in the calmest area but when you feed your adult fish they will come out to try to catch the small pieces.... once they are born take some flake foos and crush it up to the point that it is almost powder.... then if u have a breeder cage drop a small pinch every 5 to 6 hours or earlier... and if fry are in the tank do the same thing but a bit more bcause the flow

  • @superfish99 hey, did you grow the guppies in the breeder thing? How big is it? My babies live in a small 6 gallon, but they are still very small....is it because of the size of the tank?

  • Nope it is not the size of the tank.. A six gallon is perfecta actually compared to my little breeder cage... i think you are not feeding them enough... what i did was take a small bowl and take 5 big pinches of flake food and crunch them into very small particles not to dust but more like the size of crushed pepper and i would feed them 4 to 5 times a day just a pinch of the food every 3 to 4 hours depending..

    they need food often to grow... also check the pH with the special tabs... good luck!

  • @superfish99 thank you :)

  • @superfish99 oh another question, sry do i need to seperate the sexes or else the females wont grow? thx

  • seperarting the sexes will prevent the females from having more fry the same thing happened to me i had more babies after the first ones... lol it was pretty funny.....!

  • @superfish99 but the females can still grow to full size if they are unsexed rite?

  • well normaly they should.... and the term unsexed in your words what doesit mean??? ... ttyl!

  • @superfish99 oh sry. what i mean by unsex is that the females need to be separated from the males or else they won't grow to full size rite? thanks :D

  • I HAVE THE SAME THING AS YOU

  • Wish my guppy fry would grow so fast

  • cute baby fry

  • hey nice ! Do check ou my vids and subsribe :D

  • hey srry bout the late response i bought it at petco but u caan get get it at any aquarium shop.... most bof the time.... it costed around 12 dolars but had different options to it.... good luck...ttyl...

  • My female looks just like yours. Hope mine give birth. And don't eat the babies, and the babies survive, and the babies don't become deformed, and the babies are free of disiease.

  • lol thats alot of hope :P

  • Hi it thecherkassky just had to close my other channel so i could chage the name lol My babeys are dong grate thank you for all the help

  • that sounds good... and how many males have nice color....?

  • hoe did you get them to stay in that breeding unite coz my babeys keep on falling throgh the holes on the botom so i had to put them in a bucket ya how long can i leave them in the buket for

  • you canlleave them for 30 minutes depndeing on the temp! if you buy an aquarium heater for them to stay comfortable it should work!..... goood luck and if you have any more questions ask them to me!....

  • when my babeys grow up will they breed even ther brotherd an sisters

  • is it safe to take the guppy out and pet him. Also is it ok to feed the guppy chocolate?

  • yes they love chocolate. you can also get them out and take them for a walk. make sure they have a lead or the ranger will get you. they also love to swim in petrol on a cold day, it helps warm them up lol

  • lol nice vid but your lucky you got the fry in the Breeding tub otherwise that Angel would av eaten them all

  • lol the babies were in th breeder tub before i bought the angel but he seemed rather calm! ... lol ttyl

  • how long dose it take till the baby comes out and when do you know when she is in labor

  • hey well the female guppy in my movie at the beginning had her babies and as u can see she has a black spot underneath her... that is called the gravid spot. The gravid spot if black means that she pregnant. some female guppies when they are not pregnant have there gravid spot a little bit tan or brown. also the female gets bigger near the stomach. when she gives birth she could give birth to 20oe more or to 1baby. and the baby or babies come out in spurts pretty quickly... ttyl!.......

  • i have 2 guppies i always woner if one of the is pregnant becaus you could see something in her i had 3 but the other one died

  • how much was that male

  • he was about 4 bucks.... cyah and ttyl

  • do you only have 2 guppies in your tank ?

  • no i have none they all died out about a month or two ago.... but i stlll like them as a fish.... always have the best color....

  • AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH i only got to save 1. how long does it take for a guppie to grow ?

  • hey! well with the right water conditions a guppy can thrive within 13 to 16 weeks, around there... do not over feed the fry. if u can, take ur foood,flake foood if u have it, and with ur fingers in a small bowl crunch some flake foooood into a fine powder, that way it is easier to for the fry to eat. Repeat this until he or she is adult and once you can make out that the guppy is an adult, start giving it normal flake food! Good UCK, and have fun with that one Baby Gupppppy

  • i'm just wondering, what is the maximum amount (number) of guppies you can have in a 10 gallon tank?

  • hi, well i have a 12 gallon and at 1 point in time with my baby guppies and my adult guppies i had at least 30 to 40! i know this is way 2 much that is y i had to give some of the adults to the pet store. But a MAXIMUM for a 10 gallon tank and keep it safe for all the fish would be around 15 guppies (around that number) since they are not as bad as other fish when it comes to poop and stuff. if u have any more questions i am here to ans them and check out some of my other vids with live plants

  • thanks!... by the way, awsome plants... :D

  • how old or big do they have to be untill they'll be safe with the adults ?

  • they have to be big enough so they can't fit inside the bigger fish's mouth. everyone cares for their fry differently so the fry will grow at a different rate so i wouldn't rely on a certain number (age) of the fry to determine that. But usually by 5 or 6 weeks they can swim with the adults.

  • at least 6 to 9 weeks roughly> when u let them out of the breeder cage or net with the big community fish, some of the others may pose interest in them but they get there way around the tank... i always watched their progress and within 2 days i did not have to worry any more! ttyl!

  • my guppy is 10 weeks old ( 84 days ) but she really doesnt fit inside the platies , swordtails , mollies , zebras , mouth but i have gold fish in the tank ps none of the other fish bother the gold fish are ok but im scared that the guppy still might fit inside the fish mouth the guppy is almost the same size as the zebra fish but is a litle skinnier than them do you think i should wait a little longer and the guppy has his colors

  • what i woooood do is let him with the other fish! just watch him for the first few hours and days! when you feed your fish make sure he might get a few pieces here and there!

    i think those goldfish will leave him!...

    also i did this and even when a fish chased after one of baby guppies the baby just swam as fast as he could to safety!

    it should work just fine if he has colors!

    good luck!.........

  • goldfish wont leave him, they would EAT HIM!!!!.........and, zebra danios bite at the guppy fins toooooo much,

  • GOLDFISH EAT GUPPIES!

  • nice female!!

  • lol

  • cant u take the baby guppies out of the net after their a month old.

  • when will the fry start to get there color mine are two weeks old

  • hi they will get little black dots around the tail around week 4 and on week 7 they should have some color pigment kick in!

  • Hello my guppies are 1 month old from today =] i have them in a little attacher net that attached to the top of my tank and there is about 4-5 inches of water for them to swim... i noticed alot of algae in the net and was wondering if it would be smart and safe to put in a algae eater. i have some in my tank i have a chinese algaer eater that is 4 inches and 2 albino cory cats that are 2 inches long can i put one of those in or should i maybe put in some snails?

  • hi regarding the gupies clean the net but but them in a little bowl while you clean the breeder net then once finished put them back in the net with the other fish> for the other fish they should be fine if they are bigger then the CHINESE algae eater!!!! I used to have a chiese algae eater and it kiled off all my other fish like the fish at 3:13 and many others so i do not think that algae eater is good for u because i had a very bad experience with them but keep ur gups in the net till bigger!

  • i have a chinese algae eater but it is a little big

  • Lovely tank you got there. You seems to be kind of an expert on guppies. My favourite is guppy too. Feel free to check my video. too:)

  • thanks yeh sure i'll check it out! ttyl

  • il send you two vids of my tank with live plants now instead of plastic plants

  • can you send me them too>? Also what about if i put snails in?

  • snails ehhh i dont really like them they reproduce like helll and get annoying!

  • Btw, when do you see when Guppy is pregnant? because I might get Guppys when I get the 220l :) Thank you for advise and stuff man, I realy get use of your tips sooner or later ;)

  • I forgot to say that I also have a Clown Loach and he's hyperactive and the star of the aquarium. I forgot what cind of fish he was so i didn't edit him to last comment

  • cool my sister wanted one but i wasnt too sure for a 12 gallon aquarium and do u think it should be fine with maybe a little bit more freinds loach like a kuhli loach and maybe some of its own kind!?

  • How big aquarium do you have and how many fishes do you have? :) I have a 28l aquarium whit some tetras, platys, corydoras, swordtails and a shrimp :) I love having a aquarium and I'm soon gonna get a 220l

  • hey well right now i have a nano cube dx 12 and it contains 12 GALLONS and i have 4 neon tetras,3 red eye tetras, 2 red tail sharks (just got them) a yellow mollie, a pleco and a kuhli loach. damn a 220 litre is pretty big that sounds like fun! lol

  • Thank you for letting me know mate :)

  • no problem ask me ANYTIME!

  • I've always wonder how do you feed them while they are newly born?

  • hey well i wondered that too and i asked my local fish store and they said i could take normal flake food and take a small bowl (like for an ice cream scoop) and you take the food and you crush i and the food in between your fingers till its a very fine powder for the babies to eat and you just keep repeating this over and over for nice powdered food that way the babies can eat it!

  • Can you check my videos too see if my guppies are pregnant?

  • yeh sure i will do that right now!

  • WOAH AT 5 WEEKS YOUR FRY"S were soo big O_O mines 4 weeks and not nearly as big as that

  • yeah well i kinda off not sure since i was on vacation for a while before they were born!

  • The one with the red tail is pretty~

  • yeah he a male he was awesome!

  • This is a great video of your guppies. It shows their natural progression into adulthood. Your video isn't fuzzy like the others are.

  • thanks alot yeah it took me a long time to get the video onto utube but the babies were born in augudst and the final shaot was in january! check out my other planted aquarium vids if u want i have amazing plants and stuff!!!

  • I LOVE THIS VID OF YOUR GUPPY!

  • thanks kudaidude lolol

  • no big! :]

  • cool man

  • thanks alot!!!

  • :D your welcome :P

  • I like the round curves of the aquarium :D

  • thanks thats the awesomeness (lol) of the nano cube dx because its made of acrlic so they can shape it what ever they want!!! talk to u latah...

  • Heheh , yeah it is indeed awesome! . Ttys:P

  • oky docky

  • i just cant stop watching this vid, its so cool man!!!....

  • thanks i started getting addicted like u too but to another video that inspired me!!

  • no big hahaha

    ur guppy vid is the best man!!!

    p.s. got a question, will guppies survive winter without a heater but a strong lighting with temp of 20-25 celcius?....i cant buy heater yet its too expensive at my local store...what would you recomend if i dont have a heater yet?

    thanks man :]

  • yeah it should would work so does the metal mesh have holes abot a squre cm or bigger?? i would just buy a breeder thingy becaause it s easy to use and also you can use it for a sickm fish or an injured one!! also maybe instead of a metal mesh that may rust overtime and also u can use plastic mesh that should work too !!! if u have any more questions feel free to ask>>>>>

  • hey thanks for answering my last question but i have 1 more, wat water temperature do u recomend for guppie fry?

  • cool guppy, i just got mine yesterday...will the mother eat the fry?...im trying to breed and i need more info other than internet, i need a profesional and expireince breeder.

    thanks :D

  • hi well u met the right guy most mother guppies do not eat their fry but if they do u seperate the babies and put them in a breeder box to keep them safe from the mom. normally to have babies you need on male for 2 oe three females he will take the one he wants and follow her everywhere as u see in my video also when the female is pregnant u will see a gravid spot you see my female has a little black spot beneath her bottom fin!!! the babies come out alive too>

  • awesome!!! thanks...oh and hey, is it cool to have 2 male and 2 female in the sam tank?...

    or do u recomend more female than male?....

    thanks again dude XD

  • well that can be fine normally male guppies don't fight between each other but i think that would be fine hopefully the two male guppies wo'nt follow the same female leaving the one female by herself which she ll be fine>it alll depends how u want it because guppies are the easiest fish to breed so dont worry all you have to do it put the male and female and let nature o the rest also it may take awhile for the baby guppies to come out> if u want to know if she is pregnant, the gravid spot

  • oohh a'ight cool XD....

    p.s. what gallon is ur tank?...and where did u get the breeding cage?

    thanks dude.

  • hey again my tabk is a 12 gallon nano cube dx its really nice and is perfect comes with all the filtering stuff except for the heater and gravel ..... i got the breeder box or cage at petco but u can probably get it at a aquarium store >>> also u can look it p on the internet there are several types!!! feel free to ask me anymore questions !!!!

  • ok...cool ive been searching for a kind of breeder like urs at petco but they dont have it, ima try it online XD...oh and i got a net breeder at walmart and its like 1-4 size of my 5 gallon aquarium...lol..

    k thanks dude...ill ask u if something come up.

  • hey how long does it take for the colors 2 start coming out?

  • hey well it takes about 5 to 6 sometimes even 8 but u get little black colors first on the tail and then the color pigment comes out in the 8th or 9th week but it depends too on the food water quality etc... if u have anymore questions please ask me

  • haha, nice background music!! Gotta love the Beatles's abby road

  • thanks , yeah u gotta love the beatles!!!!!!
