@@AquariumCoop hey Cory, I’ve had this idea of doing guppies and then only female mollies in a 20 gallon long. Do you think that due to keeping the mollies female only, that they won’t be hostile towards the guppies? Or will I still run into issues? I plan to keep it planted, mainly with jungle Val plus driftwood and river stone.
I’ve been into fish a while now but this video may have helped my daughter be more interested in the guppies she has. With any luck she will get that long term goal of seeing them grow up-seeing the fruits of her labors. Kids are all about the instant gratification anymore.
Great content! Selecting for traits can be challenging, but it's definitely rewarding. I’ve found that focusing on one trait at a time makes it easier to work toward your goal and helps make progress more attainable. Have you thought about making a video on the different resources available to learn about guppy traits? I think it would be really helpful!
Loved this! Also, completely unrelated, my humpbacked limias slowly whittle away on algae too. Not as much as a rosy barb or a molly, but I brought in my algae covered filter from my pond and threw it in their tank, and over the next few weeks they picked it clean.
I have been waiting for this video…thank you so much! I started out with 3 females (no males!) last November and now have over 100 in 1 10 gallon, 2 29 gallon, and 2 3 gallon (for fry) tanks. Please keep this series going - I will watch! 🤓
Wow, I see where you have more than a million subscribers now. That is awesome, congratulations. This shows that you can make it but just being nice and sharing your knowledge, experience and journey. I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you.
Awesome video Cory! Well done! You nailed it with feeding. My guppies love to eat so I feed a lot. They will mouth everything in the tank until it’s all gone. Including some algae.
Hi man! Just found your channel yesterday and love the way you film and give information. Keep it up!! I have to know, what's the name of the blue/ red/ orange Guppys at 4:07? They r beautiful. With regards, Robert - Sweden.
When I had a guppy colony, I crushed up NLS flakes and crushed some mbuna pellets by Ron’s and mixed it all up and that worked great. I had jungle Val and water hyacinth with Argonite substrate.
My guppies look great. I can't believe how much they breed. I had to give away about 40 of them. I originally only had about 5 of them in a 10 gallon tank and I had to put them outside in 2 twenty five gallon tubs. I'm on well water too and very seldom do water changes. I don't check water parameters either. I did clean the tank for the year. I guess all the plants take care of everything.
Agreed! There are so few videos dedicated to (wild-type, full color) endlers, and the few who put effort into it are very nitpicky about what should be called an endler and what shouldn't be called an endler.
It is very important to have LOTS of live plants for the females when they have their babies. Also, females like another female or two in the tank. No males at birthing time. I put the males together in another tank. I feed the pregnant fIemales a lot in smaller amount during the day. Plus, all guppies like plenty of sleep time. I try not to startle them with instant bright light by using a soft light nearby to start with. I find guppies to be very sensitive. Mine know my face. Often, the females will wait til I am present with the food to start having their babies. Eating their granules seems to help their giving birth. I feed their girl roommates in another part of the tank so they will leave Mama some privacy. Amazing fish.
Would I be able to use plastic plants? I have a 20g long I’m setting up with some driftwood, plastic plants and a SpongeBob pineapple. I haven’t had fish since I was maybe 6-7 years old, I know I want Co tried for sure, but if guppies need live plants maybe I should think of other species. Any advice is appreciated
@@pitsnpistols1005 Honestly, I don't use ANY plastic plants anymore. The LIVE plants work as natural filters and really help the water quality. I use plants like Vallisneria and the broad leaf plants like the sword plants. Some anacharis and anubia also. Floating plants are nice too. I don't use Co2, just enough air bubbles and the over the side filters. I feed granule fancy guppy food. I give them about 5 hours of light a day, sometimes a little more. They DO like their sleep/dark time. I also try not to shock them awake with intstant bright light, by slowing turning on adjacent lights. Healthy guppies are energetic guppies. I do a 1/3 to 1/2 water change when needed, if they seem sluggish. I read my tanks like a book, lol. I LOVE fishes, especially guppies, Bettas. and 4 inch plecostamuses. I also have ramshorn snails which do a great cleanup. Excited for you!!!
Hi Corey. I am a tropical fish home breeder. I am just now trying guppies. I Have Bryan George Chins books. He references the term “mule”. Can you explain to me what that term refers to please? Thank you for what you do for the hobby.
Im going to try to implement the tips you gave been having a hard time with guppies I get them to Breed the moms die the baby's grow up to show color then pass away as well along with the dads. Im thinking it's the ph and hardness because I use bought spring water for water changes
@ jessicawalden. Stop using store bought spring water! It has chlorine in it. By law they have to add it. I was told that by the manager of Kentwood spring water company and seen the process.
7:30 so you don't follow the instructions on the box, you just wait two weeks between each dose? Wondering why the box says to do it one way while you suggest to do it another way?
Good day im james from South Africa i did start with guppies now for 8 mouths now but i will love to get some stuff for my tank if you guys have for me will appreciate it alot
My last guppy just died and he was just about five years old. I got a bunch when I moved into my home, and they have been living with my water turtle the whole time. They boomed to about 60ish in numbers at their peak two years ago with the CPD's and cory's. My cory's are ten + and just spawned. I don't know if I should get more guppies, it's so sad seeing the tank empty of them.
Hi Cory, I have a female guppy that is very very big for a guppy. I believe you’re looking into monster guppies? I would love to show you mine next to a ruler for good comparison, how do I send a photo directly to you?
Endler males x guppy female, produce nice of spring, they in my experience look like a colorful guppy with split tail or double sword tails, they we're hardy and I back bred them with guppy fish..
I have sort of a mental block/anxiety when it comes to guppies, heard too many stories of how they overpopulate and are hard to manage without aggressive culling. Ive since only been keeping males, but realistically how much of an issue is overbreeding?
@@AltarenGalil Look if you have adult fish, they do eat some of the tiny babies. unless you save them or have lots of hiding spots. There is a possibility they could over breed. i wouldn't be able to cull them. So I keep my males and females seperate for the most part.
Overbreeding can be a big issue. I bred guppies for about 1.5 years and, for me, it was a nightmare. The babies would hide in the plants so they were harder for the adults to find and eat and I didn't have the heart to cull them. I started off with a few in a 10 gallon tank. By the time all was said and done I was running 4 10 gallon tanks and they were all overpopulated. I wouldn't do it again but watching the mother give birth to live little babies was super cool.
My bro tip if you do guppies don’t do them indoors . Do them in outside just like more of the pros do . Free food all day for them the fry grow faster than even in being in a fry rack . I did guppies and live bearers inside but not anymore only outdoors in the heat

Corey, you have inspired me to get back into Guppies these last couple weeks. Thanks for that. They are great fish !
Guppies are one of my favorites. I am always learning from them, about them. I actually try for about 5 females to one male when breeding. USA
Oh boy, exactly what Ive been waiting for! Fantastic content as always 😃

Nice video. Why do guppies get all the spotlight when Endlers are more colourful and hardier? I wish more videos were exclusively devoted to Endlers.
If you get guppies and they revert you’ll get both 😂
@@missyflutter5562 How can you get Endlers to revert to Guppies when they separate species?😂
Cus most prefer guppies than endlers obviously.. matter of choice I guess
Agreed! There are so few videos dedicated to (wild-type, full color) endlers, and the few who put effort into it are very nitpicky about what should be called an endler and what shouldn't be called an endler.
Endlers aren’t as available

Держу в аквариуме гуппи 🤩было очень вкусно посмотреть ваше видео 👍
Hi Cori,
Can you direct me where I can buy 125 gallons tank in bulk with a good price? I'm planning to get 10-20 pieces.
Hope to hear from you
cory, lookin spiffy lately 🔥🔥
What foods do you recommend for them?
The Aquarium Co-Op Castle ornament is very close guys!

9:35 what kind of guppies are these?
@@cubanplaya561 thats tuxedo koi
Is Aquarium Co-Op group still on FB?
Yes
What is the magic nano feed?
A new food we are releasing in the next 4-6 weeks. You can see it in some of my fish room videos.

Me waiting a 60 minute guppie video
Are king cobra guppy’s somewhat rare?
3:52 planariaaaa
do you ship guppies
In my experience, male gubbys with big tears need more flow, in order to build muscles.❤
I got 15 fancy males. No females. They are differwnt patterens a sizes.. !!
Even my normal guppies are dying……but all my ember tetras are still alive and I have like 30 embers in the tank

What do you do in the winter?
When I had outdoor guppies they changed to mostly black lol
My golly I got Gollies mixing guppies with my mollies!
Just add water. Done!
Nope!!!
Is a school of only male guppies ok to keep?
Have 15 males. 6 months in and all ok
What to do with over population?
Started with 4 guppies. Now have over a hundred lol help 😅
