I have a huge tank (dont know the size I found it on the side of the road and I couldnt pick it up by myself) that housed at ONE point 3 female and 1 male guppy. I now have 48 guppies from them breeding within 4 generations. Anyways I never used a pump or filter but I did add alot of real plants that grow roots in water (such as pothos) and plenty of hiding places. I'm guessing over time they built their own ecosystem and they've been fine, havent lost one yet. It's a real b to clean tho since I have to remove all the fishes individually and drain the water and bring the hose inside to fill it back up but it's a nice relaxing time I get to spend with them and they seem happy.
even if you only change 10% water in a week, it will be safe, guppies are hardy fish and old waters are healthy for the fish too, since it will create an ecosystem in the tank
thankyou for giving me the idea that if the mosquito larvae start to born its safe it really amaze me because the other video that i watch they didn't add that thats really helpful ty sir
nice vid would also suggest putting lava rocks/sand/gravel (minimizes maintenance) substrate and floating plants like water lettuce to help minimize ammonia and nitrate and for ectrta shade as well
Thanks for sharing. I bought few guppies before and they didn't thrive bc i used freshwater and didn't add some salt. I only found out when they are already dead. But currently im raising few molly fry in pure freshwater. I think they're used to the water unlike the fishes that i bought from the petshop.
when you say freshwater, do you mean tap water? guppies will thrive in freshwater, it’s their natural environment, if you use tap water instead the chlorine will kill them. maybe you didn’t dechlorinate your water.
Sounds to me like the water hardish was off! they like harder water parameters so if you have just set that tank up or only had it going for a few weeks chances are its just not cycled enough or ph is waaaaaaay off. Guppys are freshwater fish you can keep them in sightly brackish water but ideally a cycled freshwater setup with ph at about 7 to 7.5 is best. The salt is optional to. really depends on how you are starting the cycle of that tank
thank u so much. it really helps me making decision to raise guppy in tub....i have a smaller place in my house. you now have a new subscriber and follower...
Thank you so much for putting this video up I want to make a mini pond and this helps with keeping the fish thrieving and looking beautiful in the habitat
Hi I have few questions if you don't mind; 1. What are those white stuff? 2. Is that kitchen salt or aquarium salt? 3. Is the salt safe for water plants? 4. What if I use de-chlorine instead waiting for the white stuff and mosquito larvae appear? UPDATE I: I've try and it works! I added some water lettuce, water hyacinth, and hornworth and put the tub outdoor (partial sun). The lettuce grows like crazy and the guppies are healthy. Thanks! UPDATE II: The guppies are breeding like crazy too. I have to make few more tubs to house the fry!
@@driannepastillero8499 i am pretty experienced at goldfish keeping i have 4 of them but not so expericed about others so yeah kinda not experienced anyway thanks for your reply
Beautiful video! I'm doing a similar thing but I made mine planted with soil and sand. I'm cross-breeding black moscow with japanese blue tail do you know what the result will be?
You could add some potting soil and cap it with sand to fro more plants like water sprites and pearl weed, you should also add some floating plants like water lettuce bc in some areas like where I live it’s full of hawks and fish eating birds
What are the normal Temps day and night where you live im just wondering because I live in canada I'm think of maybe moving some out for the summer like this.
Hello i too have a pond like tub setup for my platys but my fishes keep jumping out of tub i reduce the water level a bit too and add duckweed plants but still my fishes keep jumping out of my tub pls reply what to do ?
I have platys too.. and in my experience platys are bully to their kinds and usually chase out competitor. For example alpha male platy usually chase other male platys until they have no way out but to jump out of the tank.. so i suggest make another tub for the other fish..
@@albertsguppyadventure4293 i breed angels and in summer months i can grow them out in tubs outside...have learned to put screens over them to keep snakesb raccons and cats out....my angels cannot survive without it...of course that keeps my investment from going down the toilet....to each his own...
hello...I am a bit surprised I can say because I start to have fish for about 6 months or more,and I read a lot on internet how to take care of them,but I never see something with adding salt...I have guppies and platy...I start with a few and later I had a lot of babies...they grow now but they start to die a lot and I don't know why (the platy), sometime guppies but rare, I change their water 1 per week/25%, I don't have any live plants although I plan to buy some floatingones...now that I have the aquarium already set how I can do with the salt, how I can start to add it?
Male Platies are aggressive.. 1 alpha male platy in a fish tank sometimes kill another male platy it could be one of the reason why your platys are dying.
Will this work with guppies in colder climate? The city I'm at currently is known for it's cold climate, considering that fact will the guppies be able to thrive despite the colder temparature?
If your gonna do the no filter thing I recommend getting a shitton of gallons tank 30 gallons could be good the annomia is much less constrated, I would add duckweed or any other type of fast growing plant Also put lava rocks at the bottom of the tank
Hey buddy am happy to find your vid recommendation. I'm a newbie fish keeper and ordered 4 guppies n single Platy fish to keep in a big bowl. But you commented to someome saying Platy males r aggressive, so my question are as following, kindly respond. 1. Is it ok to keep guppies n platy/platys together? 2. Can i keep both in similar set up you just showed without filter, inside house?
i will help answering it 1. yes you can put male platties on a communal tank, aggression on communal tanks by male platties are rare but if it happen, just make sure you separate the aggressive platy ( and put them back after about 3 days ) or increase the volume of the tank for bigger area 2. it is better for you to put these outdoor, so sunlight could hit the plants and make the fishes healthy, outdoor air is also better than indoor, if you want to make this indoor, you could use air pump or increase the number of plants for oxygen supply, thanks
@@kentjoy8996 Thank you so much for your guidance. I have put the Platys and 1 swordfish in the communal tank which had few tetra widows. As of now there's no aggression seen from any side. Hope for the best 😁 About the guppy big bowl, i will add a air pump soon since i need to keep it inside. Also have put 4 diff plants inside which hopefully will help keep it healthy for the guppies till i get air pump.
The simplest yet very informative video I’ve ever watched! Less talking direct to the point. ❤

@Kent Joy,
To create a ecosystem, you need to have substrate, shelter for fish, plants, filter, pump, flow maker etc.

Thank you Bud
Please specify that salt should NOT be IODISED. It is harmful for fish. Best salt is aquarium salt, or rock salt
Thank u sir.
Thanks sir. I would have bought the wrong salt.
Welcome ( I am not a sir, just 14 years old)
true, don't use table salt that we consume, instead, use aquarium salt or fish salt which contains 100% purely NaCl

Yes u can use bigger bucket ;)
How did u clear the water from fish poop what was the gadget
Did u use marine salt or aquarium salt?
Woow.. Keren skli good
Can the plants grow without sand, soil and gravel?
There are aquatic plants that can grow without soil.. guppy grass, hornworth, cabomba etc
how many guppies can i groom to adult size in a 84 litre tank?
You could add some potting soil and cap it with sand to fro more plants like water sprites and pearl weed, you should also add some floating plants like water lettuce bc in some areas like where I live it’s full of hawks and fish eating birds
i have a question do i really need to put salt in the aquarium if i do what kind of salt?
Salt is to promote good bacterial growth. Kills parasite from tap water.. not necessary but recommended.. use rock salt or aquarium salt.

Dechlorinator sir. But you still need to wait 24 hours after apply to the water
