I had goldfish. When I was a child. Now I just want some simple fish and didn’t notice how complicated providing a proper environment was. This video helped me a ton thank you!
My grandpa have some of the most hardy guppies, like really hardy that he keeps in his small indoor pond with no filter, no water circulation, no water changes and my cousin's giant red-eared slider. He's only been giving them plain bread for 30 years+ and they still keeps on thriving and breeding new generations, the only thing that they're mising is the colors, they have a full black body with a speck of color on their tail, some males will have a purple body, red fins and some spots on their tail but they're pretty rare, they're also very small and skinny unlike the domesticated guppies.
I had a guppy tank for 2 years. I tried to add different guppy’s from different places and they lived for a long time. They made babies like crazy! I was giving them away to friends and family and keeping some of my favorites. Buy by the 2 year mark I noticed some of them were starting to have bent spines and wired looking belly’s. I scrapped the whole tank. Had a friend take all the mails and gave all the females to a local pet shop.
Oh they’re hardy alright. My boyfriend brought home some baby guppies given to him. I thought why in the hell... had no idea what to do with them. So I kept them in Tupperware. It’s been a week and they were fed once (no filter or anything so fed once to minimize potential harmful bacteria) - still alive. They have just been upgraded to a 10g aquarium. Currently acclimating. Fingers crossed
Your tutorial is very helpful, and will make the hobby lots of fun. I have watched several of your videos before setting up my own tank. Thank you for the time you put into these videos.
Thanks for the tips. My brother used to buy sick hamsters and try to take care of them, which also would never end well. Sending you positive vibes for caring for animals! 🙂
Rescuing a group of guppies tomorrow from FB market place because they were living in a bowl. This was very helpful! I’ve kept plenty of other fish but never guppies. Excited to upgrade them to a 36g tank
You saved my life!!!!! I’ve been looking for a simple yet straight forward video on how to take care of guppies! I’m a newbie & I’ve been building a tank. It’s 4 gallons and I’ve been doing my homework. Your video has given me the best & most information since i started looking for info. Im about to go see all your guppy videos lol thank you!!!!
I think guppye are so easiest fish to keep they are very calm,peaceful fish they also dont fight with each other or nip fish ,they are also good with betta ,i also has experience they they live in diffrent temperature of water but too cold water in also not give but stil you should take best care put some live plants and they are happy
I've opened my canisters the find live fry in them. I now keep sponges on my intake screens. They require much more cleaning but worth saving the fry imo.
I have bought feeder guppies that look like the old common guppies of the 70s. I have several different groups bought at different times. They are much smaller than today's guppy types. A good buy too at 22 cents apiece Having fun raising these guys. Very hardy too.
laughed at how hard you had to think about what the temperatures were in fahrenheit because I can absolutely relate. I am never going to understand what a fahrenheit is.
Interesting you mentioned buying sick guppies. I had the same thought process (I need to save them!) but the store had a policy of not selling sick or weak fish as they are liable for refunding you if it dies or makes the other fish in you tank ill, as the communication of "I want that fish because it looks ill" is the store admitting to selling you a faulty product. It made sense.
As for variety diet, Mix: -Dried tiny shrimp (from Asian shop) -Fish flakes, tiny pallets -dog food pallets -dried seaweed -aloe powder I jus take a mix of everything n grind to micro pallets (gud enuf for Frys) N feed X3 times wid tiny portions so it's eaten. A wave flow circulate so get eaten but a few loaches keep waste at bottom to minimum.
Plz tell me you are doing a detailed series on how to breed the neons I’m talkin like, multi part, fully fledged series. I think that would be the most interesting thing on your channel so far
My guppy just gave birth a couple days ago and had 35 fry I can’t wait for them to grow up and I’m probably gonna get more fry since I have way more pregnant females
I have a female guppy. She hitched I ride with one of my other fish purchased about a year and a half ago. She is in with my 100l planted community tank. She is about 4 to 5cm long. One of the largest females I have seen. I added a male to the tank because I wanted her to breed before she died. Her first spawn she produced around 120 fry. I couldn't believe how many she produced. She is a about to drop her second spawn within the next few days. She was breed with an elephant eye platinum male so interesting to see what her fry look like.
@@petertaylor6479 you can always donate them to your local pet store or give them to someone if you run out of room. Or you can be ruthless and hope they get eaten by other guppies lol.
For guppys, I find that corys are just like great ! They do not compete, they each take care of their own layer - and they keep the substrate clean ! Well, actually, guppys WILL be agressive towards very young corys, but once the corys are 1 cm long, they are safe.. I have my 200L (~50Gal) tank which started with 10 guppys, now, after 6 month more like 150 of them - and some look absolutely gorgeous.. Also started with 10 corys, now have like.. 50 ! (but I had to pick the eggs and let them grow in a small separate 20L (5 Gal) tank).. Death rate is about 2 guppys per month and 1 cory per month - I think that's reasonable ! A few Tetras in the tank and a couple of bristlenoses !.. And 2 kribs (which I need to pass along to someone else) Then the Kribs (Pelvicachromis pulsher) - kind of keep the guppys in check.. those that make it through are the strong ones ! Oh and also... I suspect some of my original guppys might be endler guppy (P. wingei) hybrids (the third generation lyra tail color shape kinds of give it away - but that's fine by me)
thx a lot, mate, for the tips ❤ got my first guppy this week, a golden yellowish female. She is alone, though, will get her a handsome boy this weekend!. subbed
I know some people really like simplicity, routine, saving money... but I’m always at the lfs like “ooh let’s try this! Oh yeah new types of frozen food! Gotta get some of that too...” I have like a million different types of fish food, it’s so fun 😂
You are Super cute Young Man Love your hair .And your Videos and info is Brilliant And its so better to listen to someone like you than guys who talks so slow 😊
Thanks for putting together a great video, mate! I'm very new to this, just purchased a second hand tank and doing my research to start off the right way. It wasn't very clear what degree should I set my heater to? I have the long tube one with dial on the top. And what the PH level should be to be best for guppies? I'm here in Brisbane. Many thanks!
I normally keep a 1:4 ratio when it comes to guppies so its one male to every 4 females which means I buy a whole lot of females like 16 females to 4 males just to keep the males from constantly harrasing the same females.
Got a few generations of rainbows now and mine keep getting brighter and more well formed, colours what no others have 😅 my cherry red shrimp breed like mad also
Woah, so you’re telling me that I’ve actually been doing it right? Haha woo hoo!! Oh and I’ve also noticed my shrimp going crazy over the micro worms that I feed the guppies, I actually had no idea that they’d eat them and their colours started to become so much brighter, especially the yellow and the blue dreams!!
Thanks for the great videos! What's it like having so many aquaria? I imagine you can't take holidays without an experienced person stepping in to care for your fish? - Amy
Looking into setting up my very first tank and definitely want guppies. I'm really big on the idea of an ecosystem so what would be the best bottom feeder to go with guppies? Looking at doing around 65L/14 gallons with guppies and maybe tetras :) Thanks!
This isn’t a fish, but I’ve heard good things about keeping floating plants like duckweed and water hyacinth on the surface of an ecosystem-y fish tank. The fish can also eat some of the roots for fresh food.
I have a new 10 gallon tank we got for my son. We were wanting to get guppies for him to put in the tank. How many fish would you recommend for that size?
Hi Nick, great informative video again. I am looking to add some colourful fish to my betta tank. I am thinking about either some guppies or endlers. I already have some rasbora and neon tetra, but just wanted some vibrancy, any advice please? Cheers
So I plan on having 2 tanks, 1 for males and 1 for females. I plan to move a male or 2 into the female tank for a month on rotation with a month in between each male. Will this help with diversity in breeding?
How did that go? I put my female betta with 4 guppies and she attacked and killed the two smaller ones 😳 my male Betta has 10 neon tetras and has been fine with them.
Is there any type of fish you would recommend as a tank mate for the guppy’s that will eat the fry but leave the adults alone ? I’m new to the hobby and don’t want my tank to overpopulate
If you’re not ready for the potentially numbers they can reproduce to, I’d personally put them with species that can eat the fry. It’s a little gruesome, but it’s more ethical that letting the tank get overstocked without a place to send the extra guppies. I personally keep my guppies with a betta (with bettas, it obviously depends on their perosnallity, mine might as well be Ghandi like). and some African dwarf frogs.
What would you recommend for feeder guppies? Because I just rescued a dozen feeder guppies from a pet store and I don't know anything about them! The fancy guppies don't live for me! And these guys have last time I had them years ago! I don't remember what I did to keep them going! And I need advice! Thanks
Thank you, I have randomly lost a couple of my guppy friends and was worried I was doing something wrong. All the others looked fine so I was thinking it was just age related, especially as their colour had started fading before they died like an old person going grey, but they were still eating and swimming around.
Do you have any update? I’m curious because I want to Breed guppies but not overpopulate so fast.I’ve heard betta eat guppy fry so it would lower overpopulation
I dont have guppies but I have a 10 gallon "which will become a 20 gallon soon" it's a community tank built around a betta, we have 1 betta, 1 zebra danio which we will get 4-6 more when we get the 20 long we have 4 ember tetras which we will trade in when we get the new tank. We have 4 neon tetras which we will also get more. And we will get some cherry shrimp
So… one thing I don’t understand about the breeding… If your tank is supposed to be so big, to accommodate a few guppies, example mine is 15 gallon. And then they breed, and keep breeding, 1. What happens to those space requirements? 2. What am i supposed to do if I don’t want ALL of those fish? Am i supposed to flush some babies? Because I’m not sure I can do that. Thank you, Kim New York✌🏼
I know this is an old video. But would love your input. I am getting a 4ft aquarium in september for my birthday. I know the basics of aquarium keeping I used to have multiple tanks, but shut them down during a high risk pregnancy 5.5yrs ago, couldn't do water changes on 4ft, 3ft and nano tanks when I was meant to be on bedrest. Anyway, my stocking plan is based around getting 1-2 pairs of GBRS/Dark nights. I would like to get a shoal of pacific blue eyes, 1 or2 L numbers, but I am also considering getting a trio of nice fancy home bred Guppies(like maybe black or blue metal lace snake skins, or purple dragons). My hope is that they will just breed, I can build a nice colony of breeding guppies and maybe have a few fancy guppies to sell every couple of months out of the tank(will be sticking to just one type and trying to breed true. BUT I am wondering, can guppies be bred successfully and with healthy juvies, in softer/lower PH water? Or should I just scrap that idea haha
I have read for a 4ft aquarium they recommend canister filters. What do I do? I am very new to this and I want to keep multiple different types of fish
No probs, some guppies become very active in a new tank. It also means he is perfectly healthy. And another reason is sometimes the guppy might be seeing his reflection in the edge of the tank and chasing it.
Is 72F min really what's recommended? lol. I have a few guppies with my boraras briggitae chilling aroung 68. But yeah, great video dude, I'm getting multiple tank syndrome so there may be more guppies soon
I'm starting to wonder if I was just very unlucky with my guppies... They'd nap each other's fins until they could barely swim and they just kept attacking each other... Got them from a great shop but they didn't understand why they were so aggressive all the time.. I've just decided to stay away from them tbh
My guppies eat each other and all the babies. What did you do to stop eating each other. I have live plants and feed them 3 times a day. The numbers just decrease each week
What is the minimum size of fish tank I should get for 4 guppies... And is it necessary to give medicine even if they are healthy before adding them in aquarium
Damn. This dude is so sweet. He’d buy sick guppies just to try and nurse them back to health 😭
Too good for this world.
Super informative video. The first one that actually tell me things that I really need to know, not the things I already know
I had goldfish. When I was a child.
Now I just want some simple fish and didn’t notice how complicated providing a proper environment was.

did you over breed them or just breed them one time? people think they can just breed their fish until the day they die which will kill your fish
@@didthatreallyjust I never had them die on me & had many of them for full two years until I took the tank down.
do you just leave them all on same tank and let them breed and grow baby gup? you didn't move out the parents?
Why bother giving them away? Just another tank and a snakehead in it
@@juli8vdberg562 I took the whole tank down. At the time I had a 3 year old and a new baby and i needed one less responsibility.

I feed my fish dried pellets, blood worms veggie favourite s & tropical quartets & tubifix worm. s I have a mixed tank so everyone's happy.
I have hang on filter, im glad since it will help me in controlling overpopulation in my tank
actually PH is really important to guppies, they like hard water and won't do well in a pH under 7.0
I agree but most people's tap water is above 7 anyways
Yeah, I guess your right.
Very good point and not be assumed. Needed to be mentioned in the video

I had guppies as a kid (1960 or so) and yes, they were so hardy.
Yes. And they could swim better without the heavy banners in the back weighing them down.
question about lighting. how long can one leave light on in an aquarium. I did make sure there s no direct window lighting.

👍 Good review. The hair!
Really insightful info. God bless.
You should do one on platys and mollys or like all live beariers
Is that specific type of sponge filter that you showed quiet? I saw it on another video, and if it's quiet then I may get one for my next tank
Looking into setting up my very first tank and definitely want guppies. I'm really big on the idea of an ecosystem so what would be the best bottom feeder to go with guppies? Looking at doing around 65L/14 gallons with guppies and maybe tetras :) Thanks!

Corydoras are great for the bottom 😊😊😊😊 go well with guppies

Is there any type of fish you would recommend as a tank mate for the guppy’s that will eat the fry but leave the adults alone ? I’m new to the hobby and don’t want my tank to overpopulate
I'll add that sponge filter isn't needed if you have a hang on the back filter you can adjust flow on just turn it to min flow 😉
If you’re not ready for the potentially numbers they can reproduce to, I’d personally put them with species that can eat the fry. It’s a little gruesome, but it’s more ethical that letting the tank get overstocked without a place to send the extra guppies.

kept guppies about 55 years now, do not do so much with them and the y live about 5 to 6 years. very healthy and colourful, lots of babies.
Sir I would like you to know that you are a legend
I cross bred male endlers to female guppies and the off spring we're healthy, they looked like a colorful guppy with a small or double sword..
Hi do guppy fry need a heater and filter or can I keep them in a small tank just with water
Unless you live in a very warm climate, you'll need a heater, you also need filtration.

Appreciate it
I know this is an old video. But would love your input. I am getting a 4ft aquarium in september for my birthday. I know the basics of aquarium keeping I used to have multiple tanks, but shut them down during a high risk pregnancy 5.5yrs ago, couldn't do water changes on 4ft, 3ft and nano tanks when I was meant to be on bedrest. Anyway, my stocking plan is based around getting 1-2 pairs of GBRS/Dark nights. I would like to get a shoal of pacific blue eyes, 1 or2 L numbers, but I am also considering getting a trio of nice fancy home bred Guppies(like maybe black or blue metal lace snake skins, or purple dragons). My hope is that they will just breed, I can build a nice colony of breeding guppies and maybe have a few fancy guppies to sell every couple of months out of the tank(will be sticking to just one type and trying to breed true. BUT I am wondering, can guppies be bred successfully and with healthy juvies, in softer/lower PH water? Or should I just scrap that idea haha
I wish someone like you lived near me. Where i live, there arn't many people who keep an Aquarium or have the know-how.
I have read for a 4ft aquarium they recommend canister filters. What do I do? I am very new to this and I want to keep multiple different types of fish
Add a sponge intake filter. This will keep fry and food from getting sucked into the filtration system.
My new guppy keeps swimming up and down the tank...what's the problem
No probs, some guppies become very active in a new tank. It also means he is perfectly healthy. And another reason is sometimes the guppy might be seeing his reflection in the edge of the tank and chasing it.
Is 72F min really what's recommended? lol. I have a few guppies with my boraras briggitae chilling aroung 68. But yeah, great video dude, I'm getting multiple tank syndrome so there may be more guppies soon
I work at a bigbox pet store and I tell customers that guppies are basically aquatic rabbits.
I'm starting to wonder if I was just very unlucky with my guppies... They'd nap each other's fins until they could barely swim and they just kept attacking each other... Got them from a great shop but they didn't understand why they were so aggressive all the time.. I've just decided to stay away from them tbh
can i use house plantes for the aquarium
i really appreciate your videos
My guppies eat each other and all the babies. What did you do to stop eating each other. I have live plants and feed them 3 times a day. The numbers just decrease each week
Nice vide👍
Thanks Jack
What is the minimum size of fish tank I should get for 4 guppies...
And is it necessary to give medicine even if they are healthy before adding them in aquarium
The minimum for four guppies is five gallons, but 10 gallons is better, given how fast they breed (unless you have one sex)
Terrific video.
How often do you recommend doing a water change for a 110 ltr 10 male guppy tank? (new to the hobby)
One change 25% a week is the rule for every tank
awesome video
