I’m from Canada 🇨🇦 and listening to you talk is so relaxing. I would listen to you say “water” all day long haha.
Those are endler/hybrids...grow rate on endler is slower...🤷♂️ edit; if u want to speed it up a bit, feed em fresh hatched brines, daily....multiple times a day...
I am no celebrated expert, but I can say from experience, that Guppies will grow in anything, as long as you feed them and the water has minerals. In my foolish youth, I had a 4 gallon ish sized aquarium. maybe less. Little under gravel filter, air powered; horrific blue and white gravel with a lump of coral that had been spray painted yellow. 25w incandescent light was the light and heat. some floating plants were placed in the top, and usually died off within 2 months to be replaced.
It was a guppy breeding machine. Water changes, maybe every couple of months, a gallon worth. usually just a top up. No idea what the PH, hardness, ect was. The algae grew pretty steady. Some bladder snails arrived on some of the floating plants, and setup a snail factory. The water was pretty hard, there would always be crust at the high water mark, I think. Had some sort of fin rot once or twice in 6 years, it was treated with a 20 year old bottle of methylene blue stuff. That came from my mom, her aquarium had a Silent Giant air pump, that stopped being made in 1970s.
You could take 10 out and give them away, and it seemed like only a mild thinning. in a month, it was back to normal. waste seemed to just disappear into the fairly chunky gravel. No food was ever left uneaten. I'd estimate about 10-15 adults, and the usual cloud of babies and young.
If you can give guppies food, light, heat, minerals and a touch of salt. They will go forth and multiply.
problem is everyone is comparing guppy's to someone who keeps them at
28 celcius and giving life foods. ( almost no one does that.)
Love the tool stand
Great informative video Mark! I didn’t realize how small that no filter scape is! The scape you put the guppy’s in is looking amazing! 👍
In my experience, female guppy/endler hybrids can vary in size. Compared to a pure bred guppy only female, they can stay pretty small (or grow pretty big).
Thanks for the nice report of what you saw. I really appreciate the new Anubia created by Tropica. Beautifull aquariums.
The scape you moved the guppies into still looks so good.
I had the same issue with guppies. They would just do real poor in the tanks I had RO water in but we’re fine in my tap water.
High nitrates can stunt growth as well 👍
This could make for an interesting video around plants that can tolerate a higher pH, kH and gH in the future
@MJ Aquascaping you have endler/livebearer cross in this tank.
Endlers are closer to their wild roots, stay smaller than their domestic, selectively bred cousins, and grow in direct response to temperature and correlating food supply.
I can look for you on IG, and send you some links.
I'm not seeing the bent backs we typically see in livebearers that don't have access to adequate calcium. It's similar to the bone damage we see in humans who have too many babies too close together.
You actually have a variety that phenotypically looks very similar to a line that I breed. They grow slow, take 6 to 8 months to reach maturity (temperature dependent), have smaller clutches, and the females are not as big as my thumb, even after 12 months at 65° F (slowest growth rate).
Cladocera make an ideal first food, as they don't foul the water like brine shrimp. It's fairly easy to start a colony.
The cooler temps will allow slower development and a longer lifespan. Glad to hear someone addressing the risks of growing fish in containers that are too small, I just didn't want you to think all of the things you were seeing were issues you had caused.
The largest female endler I have was the oldest female in a 36 cm × 125 cm × 25 cm deep river biotope paladarium (paladarium is 60 cm tall) with a strong current (builds caudal strength and reduces the risk of spinal curvature in older breeding females).
She was 1 of 6 females I put in the tank 18 months ago.
She requested retirement this week, and is now in a standard US 10 gallon tank, and quite happily swims up to greet me every time I walk in the room.
There were 5 females half her size when I took her out of the big river tank, they are currently establishing who will be the next "big fish" and staking out territory. The males just endlessly dance, trying to convince one of the many females that they are worthy, lol.
You will notice, warmer waters get you more males, and cooler waters get you more females. The adults like to chase amphipods and play with their dinner. They also eat blackworms, planaria, and hair algae... as well as duckweed if they are underfed.
I would also add these:
1. Feeding 3 times a day instead of 1 time a day. Fry has quick metabolism so more feeds are better.
2. Temperature. The colder the temperature the slower the growth. Not sure what your temperatures are but I'd say 24-25C is perfect. Anything below I'd consider on the colder side.
3. Size. Your 13 liter tank if fine for the fry. I've grown many fry in a 10 liter tank with no issues. (yes, it's small but they still grow well).
Hope these help and you fry grows big ;) Good luck!
Yep, i have grown guppy fry in 10 liter tanks as well. They grew really well. I had like 100 fry in that tank😂. Needless to say, a lot of daily water changes and a lit of plants were there. I moved them to a bigger tank soon after. But size of the tank, in my opinion doesnt matter.
@@nigga12665 Oh god! 100 fry sounds both exciting and terrifying at the same time! I had about 15 in mine 10 liter ;) But totally agree, guppy fry does very well in pretty much any tank.
@@igormysen4296 it was a lot of work ngl. I had to rehome em when they got a but older
Good stuff brother. Glad to see you solved the problem 🤓👌🏼
I have got that advice also that to grow fish bigger then a bigger aquarium is a key factor.
But it is maybe not enough nuance to say because of RO water..
Then you blame the wrong thing and viewers got the impression that RO water is this or that..
You should see RO water as a blank canvas what you can decide what YOU want to do with it!
I for example use RO water and keep cichlids that want harder water.
So I add in my RO water (plant) minerals and pH/KH plus.
So that I get desired target range for GH, KH and pH. That the specific fish needs.
In other words it is not the RO water that we should blame 🤣🥰 it is you that do not did the remineralization correct.
Using RO water is not only to wanting to have softer water..
There is many other reasons actually you can make RO water of your tap water and then put minerals into the RO water and make the exact same GH, KH and pH that you have in the tap water!
WHY?!
The difference is NO and removed chlorine, arsenic, boron, silicates(metalloids), lead, copper, parasites and viruses and so on.. and you always get the same results when you mix yourself and not dependent on what water delivery in your area treats the water you get.
Otherwise it is impossible to just remove copper if they are at a problematic high levels, from the tap.. you remove "everything" and just add back what is needed for what you have in the aquarium.
i have several batches of endler and guppy fry every month and those i dont want go out in the greenhouse in a large water vat. They get fed 2 or 3 times a day on quality flake and live daphnia and mosquito lava. In these vats the endler fry never reach the same size as the guppy fry.
I fed my fry at least 3 times a day with crushed guppy food and frozen brine shrimp. They lived temporarily in a 2.5gal with plants. And they got water changes few times a week.
Great video! I had the same issue with cpds that I bred. I think I kept them in too small of a tank for too long it stunted their growth. Unfortunately I didn’t get another attempt because my 1 male passed away in that time and all the fry ended up being female! I really wanted another shot at it with a heater in the tank to see if I got a better mix of males and females! Maybe a future project for me
Nice fish treatment 👍🏻
Nice informative video. Yes tank size is very important as one that is too small can stunt growth. Having said that I have known Koi breeders to get some good size on young fish in smallish ponds by over filtering, however they do have to be given room to grow on asap. I imagine the same principle would apply to guppies. Your forest tank looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

In my experience, Endlers and Endler-Guppy hybrids tend to give birth to a lot of young, and their growth rates have been varied, even those born at the same time from the same female. Some develop slight deformities, some barely eat any of the food while some grow at a healthy pace or even have growth spurts. 6 months is a decent enough time for healthy males to start showing colours..

@@lopezfam7317 I have a message for you , so listen up before ..... Juris and Jesus told me to tell you " Do not be so Heavenly mindful that you are no Earthly good " another soul to aqueeze 👺
I like turtles
It depends on the temperatures (for maturation) and how many other males are in the tank.
Endlers, especially, have a fairly hierarchical "society".
You will typically see one larger female, then 5 females not quite as large, and there will be a hierarchy among the males, as well.
I have to take "sleeper" males and put them in an all bachelor tank to get them to develop their colors. The bachelor tanks are US 10 gallons or smaller, and as long as nitrates stay under 100 ppm (we have a turtle pond of 10 gallons where culls go, so lots of variations we get to test) the biggest inhibitor to males developing color appears to be remaining submissive to dominant males when females are around.
Remove the females, and **every male** colors up.
I suspect this is behind the marketing strategy of selling 6 males and no females....
live food such as brine shrimp is more important than the size of the aquarium, other foods rich in protein such as egg preparations and when you see the difference separate the males from the females, because if they are kept together they do not grow much, but if they start to reproduce very young.
baby fish should be fed extensively in a bare tank so that cleaning can be easy and cycled out for good growth. at least from experience. in planted tanks may not be good due to nutrient exposure for algae.
Yo tenía a los neones verdes en un tanque de 30 litros. Los metí en otro de 100,y crecieron igual que los neones grandes. Casi siempre el problema de crecimiento es por el tamaño del acuario. Buena elección!

Live food is the key. And lower water is better for fry.
Super tank, Super fish 🙂👍
but tap water in my region causing diatoms .😔😔 what is your tap water tds?
Voor zover ik weet prefereren levendbarende vissen altijd harder water, soms met iets zout toegevoegd. Zoals bij Molly's bijvoorbeeld.
give them live food, big proteins.
lots of fry = more cleaning (whether it's scaped or bare tank).
Im not sure if its stunted growth, or just a species thing cus I have endler hybrids but they're definitely bigger than yours and they were born at the beginning of March.
beautiful fish 👍👌
I don't think the water had anything to do with it, sure the guppies prefer harder water, but they're fine in RO water as well. The adult size to time ratio that you saw was probably being fed protein like krill or something 3 to 5 times a day, just to grow them out. They will still reach full size with non-protein food like spirulina but it'll take much longer.
What was the name of the Single Orange striped fish in the forrest tank ??
Keep up the good work💪

Tank size matters lol i have one 39 gallon and two 10 gallons. Both the plants and the fish grow bigger in the 39..
Tenho uns guppys blue sky albino full véu num 37 litros e acontece o mesmo pH 7.5 TDS 150. Já no aquário 60litros com guppy dumbo pH 7.2 TDS 120 não tenho esse problema, 3 meses já são adultos nos blue sky já 5 meses para a face adulta. Temperatura 25 graus em todos os aquários
Is that a JYSK shelve that the aquariums are on ?
It's from Leen Bakker!
temperature, space and pH
Their lack of growth is probably because of some kind of environmental problem. But your aquarium's look amazing and healthy so I would not think that's the problem.
Anyone know where the maintenance stand is from 😍
No Minerals at all 100% RoDi ? My Tds tank Water is 1050ppi yours is 65 will be interesting to see results
Trust me bro i was a successful guppy breeder my simple formula was sunlight and big big containers, they grow fast they started producing baby in two - three months, just give them plenty of space sunlight plants 3 times food ( I fed them three times a day)
Now I'm not doing it purposefully but still they breeding themselves, thing is my mom is taking their care indeed she knows only to feed and water changes
they grow according to environment. small tank = small guppies. large tank = large guppies.
Now i realize who you look like 😅…. Jaqen H’ghar from Game of Thrones 😆… i was trying to place it for so long Tom Wlaschiha is the actor if you want to see ur twin in short hair
😅
Has anyone watched stranger things season 4?! Ive been watching your vids for over a year now, and i everytime they show the russian guard from stranger things i remember you 😅
I keep hearing that yeah 😅
hello from Ukraine. U are wright about size. the second problem is food. the bigger and stronger fish will eat more. as resoult= size of fish.
👍👍👍
👍👍
👍
Well that wasn’t helpful what did you used to harden your water I am trying everything because I have only rainwater in our cistern I have no other water to give them
See if you can get your hands on some GH+ /Kh+ salts I like to use the saltyshrimp brand salts
He used his HARD tap water 😂 for your soft water try using crushed coral its cheap to buy.
I use crushed coral.
second
why do you look like the no faced man on game of thrones?
