6 guppies that I bought spawned more than 40 guppies. I didn't know so many would actually develop and grow. I know the tank is crowded but I can't afford another one, my mistake.

  • Hey i'm new to fish keeping and was thinking of turning an old fish tank into a tropical set up its 28 liters, i like guppies and was thinking of putting a few of them in there? is this wise or do they need alot of space? thanks for any advice!

  • @Kamikazeantigen Sure, guppies are pretty cool because they come in different colors, but more importantly they swim everywhere (top, middle, bottom) and are quite curious so they make your tank seem "whole." The general advice for most fish is that you should have one inch of fish for every gallon of water. So if I had a 20 gallon tank and the type of fish I wanted to buy grow to about 1 inch then I could have 20 fish in the tank without stressing them out.

  • @Kamikazeantigen Also you generally want more females than males like 2:4 or 2:5 ratio, but the females aren't that colorful and some people do just have all male tanks. In my experience they breed quite easily so you just might have a guppy invasion like I did!

  • What happened to the Parthenon ? Ruins in the Middle ?

  • @mba2ceo The Parthenon was "invaded" with algae and turned very green. During the summer when it was warmer, algae would grow faster and it ended up being totally covered with the stuff.

  • Update some more vids - would love to see the # now

  • @mba2ceo Please check out my other vids by clicking on my username. Unfortunately my guppies died out do to a long black out, but I bought a few more and I still have some cool cory catfish healthy and swimming around!
