Guppies - from babies to adults

I checked some old tapes today and found a footage of my guppy fishs I had some time ago. I suddenly got baby fishs and protected them because their parents would have eaten them in the quarantine tank. But at the end I had 35 guppies, hehe. I hope you like this small documentation. For some of you it can be probably interesting to see how small a guppy fish baby really is. They are growing fast.

The guppy has its origin from South America, actually from the Amazonas river. But some populations are also imported to Europe and since it is a pretty easy fish so it is a good advice for beginners - as these are small (needn't a big tank) and life time is around 1-2 years (so when you want to go on with some more difficult fishs you get the chance after 1-2 years). Anyways, I recommend the goldfish as it is a much more robust fish (but it has a very very very long life and because it can grow a lot you need a big tank).

PS: Thank you for your feedback - I already know it should be fries instead of babies ... glad you all like the video coz it is for sure a video with the very best feedback - you guys rock!

what did you feed the fry?

[BattlefieldDoktor]

@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: 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.

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.

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

@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
