My son gave me a bunch of feeder guppies. I've had them in a 20g. They have breed to be beautiful reds, blue, and cobra mixes. I call it my rainbow tank. The variety is endless and beautiful 😍 I love mutt guppies!
That is awesome!
I'm glad I saw this video. I really liked breeding mutt guppies in my tank but I always felt it was kinda pointless to not breed a specific strain. I just really love seeing the different combos that come from breeding mutt genetics! Thanks for making this one!
Last weekend I bought 2 red dragon trio guppies from my LFS, few hours after they were acclimated there was like 20 fry in the tank. Guess i got lucky
Not lucky, just well taken care of fish.
Cough... I’m fine!!! 🥰
I laughed he did it so quick 🤣🤣
Oh, thank god!
Murasaki Senbon Cough COUGH I’m fine...I have the shirt...true story.
As a kid we got a pure bred dog and we called it Mutt
LOL, why?
Designer mutts... They are beautiful!! For somebody like me that just wants to enjoy the fish, they are perfect! ❤️👍
I totally agree!
Love mutt guppies & can't wait to get my tubs stocked :)
I think I will do it today!
Great videos through this lock down. Thank you for you fun and creative videos. Can’t wait to see all the ponds set up. Trying to soften my wife up to doing some ponds. Not working by the way. LoL
Here is a secret......Let her pick the guppies!
I am having to overcome the same challenge Lou. Good luck to ya.
Mike this is epic. I completely love it.
Thank you!
Hey Mike you may have covered this in another video, but what temp DO you breed guppies at when you heat your tank? Just curious to see what temp you think is best.
I heat the room and it’s about 73-75f
Your channel is the best its comedic/funny,educational your just being you which is the best thing about you and your channel when you cough im fine and fishy friend thing it's all just so funny and entertaining don't stop 👍👍👍👍
Wow, thanks
Why some guppy have a kinda of dark rim at the end of the tail. Example blue grass. Please help to explain. Thank you.
Not sure what you are talking about, sorry.
I'm in upstate NY 😜 I would love some Mut guppies 🥁🐠
Www.michaelsfishroom.com
Just came across your channel then checked out your shop just to browse. Then I came across your beautiful Blue Japanese with the lower sword tail and I had to have them.
Looking forward to getting some mutts in the future.
Thanks for the order! I will ship on Monday.
How often do you feed that cyclops food? Is it too high in protein?
A few times a week.
Sir Michael I like ur talk. Your are do good n simple n honest person.
Thanks
You are THE MAN! I watch all your videos an I asked you on Monday what a mutt guppy was sn you answered me but now you made a video which is awesome! I will be ordering some mutt guppies from you! Thanks for the video an hope you an your family are doing well.Love from Texas.
AWESOME!
For your mutt ponds outside, you might consider doing one pond with mutts with the half black bodies and one tub with mutts without any half black bodies. That will help prevent the half black bodies from muddying up the colors of them all.
It's like you read my mind! TBH, I was only going to do the the ones without black so I don't make anymore like that.
@@MichaelsFishRoom 😁
@ReenesZooTube, very good point, the whole time I was looking @ them, not up front but in the back of my mind, I was thinking he's got a lot of just the dark fish like 1/2 & how that would seriously impact the school as a whole... could like you said (if possible) one just dark, one mainly lighter colors, & maybe like seconds/thirds ? fish from the light & dark (not many, just back-up to back-up), any reason for more !)
Coughs ...I'm fine...luv your videos bro
Thanks!
How many guppies can i put in 55 gallon tank ease
Depends how lazy you are.
Yay excited
Thanks my fellow tribemate!
@@MichaelsFishRoom Great job boychick.
I lurve my mutts. You say about blue yellows. I’ve unintentionally got 3 from a rather small amount of guppies. I’ve now got 5 blues ready to birth- so excited 😆
Thank you for your videos x
That's awesome!
That tank is beautiful!!!!!! I have never owned Guppies. EVER. But you have me wanting some! I have a spare 20 gallon tank, so if I order 5 Mutt Guppies, what happens if they breed? Won't they overcrowd the tank? What happens to the babies? I have heard that the mothers will stop breeding, I've heard that the fathers will start eating them, I've heard that you have to sell them or give them away; what happens?!?!?! How can I just keep a colony of them in a 20 gallon tank???
You can keep just males, let nature take its course or sell them!
Today I'm back to a good cup of tea with Mum's secret recipe Choc chip cookies...we're out of lockdown baby!!
Congrats! Maybe football will start soon!
@@MichaelsFishRoom Mid June sees the start of a domestic Super Rugby competition.
How many mutt guppy can I put in a 55 gallon?
As many as you want.
Really like your exploding/imploding logo. Also, your 90 gal looks great, all the colors and activity.
Thanks! I made the intro myself and I am proud of it!
Hi micheal those mutts are beautiful they look awesome
Thank you sir!
A dish of home made pad thai and egg rolls accompanied by a bellini and a video from michael. This evening is gonna be a good one.
Sounds great!
Thanks for watching!
Very cool Michael!
Thank you sir!
I have a 29 gallon mutt guppy/platy tank, and I'm currently establishing a 10 gallon pink flamingo breeder (waiting for it to get warmer so I can order plants and then start cycling it with seeded filter media) and was wondering what plants you would suggest? I've been thinking guppy grass as the main plant and some type of floating plant. I've heard salivina minima and frogbit are good. I want something that grows decently fast since my tap has 20ppm nitrates. I'll also have ribbon plant and pothos growing out of this tank too with 50% weekly water changes.
I use java moss.
@@MichaelsFishRoom okay I'll look into it. Thank you
Where in the US do you ship from ?
NJ
Just got 3 fancy male guppies with 15 feeder females. Yellow cobra, platinum, and lyretail delta daddies in the making!!!
Hope you quarantined them.
Hi Michael, I'm planning on setting up my first quarantine tanks as I'm new to the hobby, what medication do you recommend I use on my quarantined fish and how long should i keep them in quarantine for?
Search the channel for "how to quarantine"
For someone like me, who's not looking to breed high-end, line bred guppies, these mutts are ideal. I just like colorful fish.
What a cool retirement project!
What I did for my mutts I bought a platinum red dumbo ear male for like £3 (4.50 dollars) and a female with a HuGE blue tall and the mutts are just spectacular
Brilliant! (gotta say it in a fake british accent like I did)
Enjoy your videos wish I could order plecos but I live in Canada. Have a great weekend and good luck with the ponds can’t wait to see the vids.
Sorry, but your government is weird when it comes to selling fish!
Michael's Fish Room and fish medications!!!!
I ordered a trio of Red Dragon Guppies from Coast Gem USA. Long story short they gave me 3 females on accident, but all three are pregnant. So far 2 of the 3 have had fry and I now have 19 babies and still waiting for one more batch!
Thanks for telling me ordered from someone else. 🤔
One day:
*"I'll take all of them"*
That’s a lot of guppies!
Do mutt guppies mix well with Endlers?
Yup
Hello Mr Micheal if you did a 55 gallon mutt guppy tank how many you think you could fit in there?
100000000000000000053
Michael i just got a rare strain of guppies and thier starting to breed but I feel thier maybe something wrong with them they are only half of the size as a normal guppie in my opinion is thier a way I can contact you to see if thier stunted or is it normal thanks
Holy no punctuation Batman!
No they are a smaller strain.
@@MichaelsFishRoom thanks, sorry for no punctuation.
Hey I couldn't quite hear, you have three or four plecos in that guppy tank, what kind did you say they are?
2-3 Gibicepts plecos. You want em?
@@MichaelsFishRoom oh thanks, I literally listened to it three or four times and couldn't quite make out what you were saying. I am actually making the transition from bristlenose plecos of all varieties to some fancier ones. I'm just finishing my first week with new l134, l264, and l333 that that I got. It's quite exciting. It will be a while to grow them out, but it's a blast and they sure are beautiful. I still have about 200 longfin albinos growing out that will be going to the local fish store within a couple weeks. I'm going to step back from breeding quite so many, although I won't stop, and will be concentrating on acquiring some new additional fancier species. Best regards.-Bruce
Excellent video 😊😀👍 nice guppies you have there 💖💕I love 💖 guppies there very pretty looking fish
Thank you so much 👍
Michael's Fish Room your welcome 👍
i got a 200 litre mutt guppies tank and i love them heaps better than my breeding lines
Cool!
Guppies have been my long time fav fish......I think Mutts are my fav guppy.
Those guppies in that tank are stunning.
Im glad Im in Aus..... I'd be that pesky pain & sending screen shots of the vids to choose which ones I wanted lol, yeah THAT person ....or I'd buy them all!!
Can't wait to see more of the "mutts" in a month or 2.
Would you say that "hybrid" vigor accounts for some of their strength/ healthiness, like "mutt" dogs & cats who are usually overall really strong/healthy?
Lol...yeah glad you are so far away!
I think the mixed genetics are the reason for sure.
“I’m fine” 😂😂
I am, I have a shirt that says so!
Hey Mike do you take your pregnant guppy out of community tank and place her in another tank in order to save your guppy fry from being eaten?
Nope.
Hi Mike thank you for replying, so Mike do you just heavily plant to prevent fry from being eaten? My 9 yr old son watch your channel faithfully, he pretends like he is you when he record himself on his phone..
I love my Mutties!
Me too!
Can't wait to order. I hope I can soon!
Me too!
Gotta love the mutts! Beautiful in their own right! #projectpoecilia
What is that?
@@MichaelsFishRoom During the month of May we're celebrating the poecilia genus, specifically GUPPIES, for the wonderful fish that they are. For the love of livebearers, these fish are great from entry level to advanced hobbyist and are a staple of the hobby.
Feel free to trash this like a set of China filter instructions if it is out of place.
Love your channel I am beginner to fish keep, love my colony tanks, especially my guppies, can you recommend any tips for keeping my tanks healthy, from Scotland with love bro
Welcome! Check out my videos on the Nitrogen Cycle to start.
Spotted a yellow variegated snakeskin male in their I would like & a couple females that "matched" well (imho) I would mate him to. I feel where your coming from with your opinions on mutts. LoL Story... Few year's back I had some halfblack blue females I wanted to breed out. Issue was, I needed a suitable male. Finally I managed to find the ends of a batch of turquoise guppies with one male. No breeder (99%) would have chosen, due to that long red color defect in his tail. F1 males were (putting it lightly) stellar. Surpassing in color,finnage,etc. And NO color defect in ANY of 20+ generations. So mutts can truly surprise you sometime. 🐠😎✌
There are some stuners in there!
Hi Michael, do you ever have issues with the male’s tails getting nipped a lot?
Occasionally, but not too much,.
Do you do local pick up?
I do!
Thanks I was the white truck
Hey is it ok if I ask you a question on every vid if so my question today is why don’t you breed platys you can tell a lot faster
they breed true and I have a lot more and I would Luke to see you breed them
It is OK.
There is no money in them, that is why I don't bread platys
I am even more excited about getting my order after seeing this beautiful mix! Thanks for the teaser!
That is what I do, I tease
@@MichaelsFishRoom 😂
Lol
I got a 55 gallon tank 2 months ago and all I want in it is mutt guppies.
So buy them! WWW.Michaelsfishroom.com
Are Guppy Endler Hybrids considered mutts as well?
Depends if they breed true they are not mutt. If they don't breed true they are mutts culls
Lol....say that out loud “mutts culls”
Love my mutt guppies
They are the best
My mom wants to get a guppy tank with deferent colors. We will probably have mutt guppies, but we don't mind. They are still cute, as long as they are healthy, we will be happy. I just want to get her a bigger tank, I have a 15 gallon but want to get her a 30 gallon. She will be glad to know that the babies will still be colorful. We don't want to sell them, just want something to look at and see them grow.
Cool
Hey we had an exam based on your video it was really cool. One flaw though. Female guppies sexually select more colorful male guppies. Female coloration matters less in terms of reproduction and you might have even more success than you already do if you select more colorful males for your breeding
Where was this exam? Tell me more!
@@MichaelsFishRoom It was our school (University of the Southern Caribbean) And since it's still pandemic times we had an open book exam for Ecology (On Moodle). Basically we had to read part of the book and then look at your video especially from 9:30-13:00 and use your video as an example situation.
Anyway according to our books and professor female guppies sexually select more brightly colored male guppies. They're seen as more dominant and healthier in the eyes of the female.
If you're still wondering how they'll do in the wild if you released them though that depends on what predators there are. A lot of predators will easily attack the very colorful ones but your guppies with less coloration will be fine. However if there's little to no predators the bright colors will prevail throughout in the wild.
So the trade off is reproductive success vs easier to spot by predators. In terms of your safe tank though you'll get a lot of colorful fish because the females naturally will go after more colorful males to breed with. But if you separate them off for breeding try to select bright colored males and don't worry too much about the female color (I mean they can be colorful if you want but don't fret too much on it :) ). This will make it so that the males you separate for breeding get a chance to pass their genes. If for example you take a dim color male and bright male the females will virtually always reproduce with the bright colored male and you don't get a lot of baby guppies sharing the dim colored male's genes.
Hey Micheal what is a Mutt ?
I am not telling! (storms off and pouts in the corner)
No one can call themselves a fish hobbiest/breeder if they kill off fish just because they're "ugly" (to you) or "mutts." I have some mutts rn from a platinum female I got from a store. They don't have full body color as I'd like, but their spotting is SO unique. Color covers about 1/2 to 2/3 of their bodies.
Some of the females are orange translucent. The males have some mosaic traits & coi traits. And most of them have the luminecent trait from the mom.
One of the males I'm keeping looks like a crystal. He has a white body, pink & blue undertones, and light orange around the face. He got most of his mom traits, but even has a cople specks on his tail from like his mosaic dad.
Another one looks like a koi, but is opaque not translucent.
I don’t kill fish because they are ugly, I sell them for a profit.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Right! Because if you don't want or like them there will always be someone who will.
Turns out, I've been doing the same thing accidentally. I have a similarly large tank now that someone had given me, I moved the guppies I had into the tank and bought a few more. Now I have just about 100ish guppies (it's hard to count them, they breed quickly). It's a mix of Turquoise guppies, Tequila sunrise, Japan blue, Cobra endler and Lyre tail. Pretty much everything you can buy at petsmart paired with about 8 corydoras. The colors they produce are amazing. Don't sleep on mutt guppies lol
RIGHT!
LOVE mutt guppies!! :)
Me too Rock Lady, me too!
They are beautiful!!
Like me!
I love mutguppies!!!!!!!❤
Me too!
I love you channal its awesome
I have a "poop ton" of guppys again too.
Weare like twins! (you are the better looking one, I am the funny one)
@@MichaelsFishRoom Trust me you are the better looking one, I'm just and old woman who loves fish.
Micheal do u sell on Amazon if so what is your site for Amazon?
Nope
Or you could just order in my website
Ha silly goose I dont have pay pal or check lmao I only pay in $$$$$
Then how can you buy on amazon?
I got tanks & nothing to put in them🤭🤭🤭🤭
Love your vids keep doning you and thanks for inspiration love Daniël
Thank you! Will do!
why dont you use your own mutt guppies from your existing strains?
More genetics the better.
Your jacked up dorsal impression looks just like the guy next door when when he drinks to much.
Lol...pictures or it didn’t happen.
I still love my mutt guppies.
Me too!
I remember I started w/ goldfish they where cool & I had them exclusively for a very long time (@ least for me the common (carp body) goldfish are/where very forgiving hearty fish, but then I heard about breeding live-bearers & egg-layers (I have never tried egg-layers) & I was hooked (pun but not intentional) right I am chopping on the bit (& have for a few moons now) I to breed true Red Cobra Guppies/Endlers (thought I heard you liked them too... I called them "metallic tiger strips w/ red/orange w/black spots tails) I know what you are talking about as far as the Mutt-Guppies; see always having to breed true the in-breeding just naturally re-enforces whatever defects carried in that line (think Hapsburgs of Austria... the chin !) but take a male & a 2-3 females all them different, instead of bottle necking the gene pool you open them up (wild guppies look more like Endlers except not as bright & flashy) but they took those fish & created the fish lines of today (in-breeding all the way, in fact I've seen many of my mutts thinking man that would be a cool fish propagate, but then I would really be covered in aquariums instead of half covered (if I could have more I probably would) any ways I want to know how you keep guppies in outside "ponds" year-round in Jersey, I am in So.Ca. (or as I call it : The State of Confusion) & I believe my weather year round is probably nicer/warmer I dont think I would take a chance so what's your secret unless you just have massive electric bill or solar; My Name is Vito (like the Godfather !) I am going to check "your Store" for mutts, maybe look out for red cobra genes here & there2
I love my mutts too :) hope other people do to or I'll need a 90 gallon
They are the best
FIRST IN LINE!
Actually 3rd...(2nd place loser) LOL
@@MichaelsFishRoom No way - I got cheated
Hello again, to the best aquarium channel in the world. I liked these guppy, I just need to improve my English, to better understand the videos. Good weekend, be careful.
Thanks Paulo! I never asked if you are a Football fan? Portos? Benfica? or another team?
@@MichaelsFishRoom To be honest, I'm not a football fan, but my family is from Benfica.
Thing I don't understand is we all know mutt guppies happen in the wild so what's the problem in the aquarium.
No problem!
Most Guppies are the best guppies imo 😄
Yup
My guppies, have been going crazy about that freeze dried cyclops! I almost feel, if I don’t mix some with the other food. They won’t eat the food I put in lol.
You spoil them!
Falling behind on your videos trying to research a bicycle build for my wife and building a cabinet for the garage to hold all my stuff so there is more room for new tanks. Next time you are in Japan, if you go by a bike store, pop in and see what Brands they sell. I’m just curious if they sell different brands than USA, or made in Japan bikes. Most (99%?) bikes are made in... **DRUMROLL** China. Also, bikes in the USA are made for tall people and I’m wondering if Japan has smaller sized bikes. (My wife is short)
Chips, salsa, and Earl Grey, hot.
Bikes are smaller and many have little motors and batteries. There is a large bike ship in Shibuya Tokyo near my hotel. They sell Cannondale I know for sure!
Ok I want some
Order on my website.
Love the video bro nice big arse tank of them I have one with 150/200 in right now can't wait 😂 😂
Cool! Send me a pic!
@@MichaelsFishRoom soon as i give them another week to build up as theres like 30 that are 1cm at the moment and the rest are about a week or 2 weeks old so there harder to see with the light i use for that tank! bare with me though =D
Alright
Where you been?
Only 28.5k subs ? what the hell guys if not subscribed then sub guys you don't know what you're missing. DO IT FOR THE FAM
I feel the same way TBH.
I loooooooove me some guppies! 😊
Me too!!
Tip:
When buying prepackaged frozen brine shrimp,
Make sure you buy the right size...
Good tip!
is it just me or is black a very dominate trait, i have 4 males 8 females, each male is different (only one black one) but like 90% of my fry have large amounts of black bodies. also links for those massive sponge filters?
No black is dominant, you are correct!
mutt is beautiful💪👍
Thanks!
That's so beautiful and nice.. Lol
Thank you! Cheers!
Ohhhh noooo there are to many in that tank, LOL
SSSHHHH.....don't tell the Facebook police.
