You’ve inspired me to get back into guppies. I’ve set up 4 breeding tanks in the house and doing a 100gal pond outside once this cold weather passes. It’s a project I’m doing with the kids and they get to keep any profits from selling locally and to 2 fish stores. Thanks for everything!
I had some feeder guppies last year in a bucket, just to see what happens. They seemed to breed just fine, I rarely fed them. Now I have a 27 gallon hdx tote pond. I feed them once a day, and scoop from the green water and the mosquito cultures to get different size live foods. The mosquito cultures thing... Just be prepared to start over. It would work better if I used bee keeper net to only allow mosuitoes access every few days. Dumping one before restarting, and feeding out of a second.
Took your advice Michael and put a heater out in our first UK pond of the year, all going well for the past 2 weeks with about 600 Staeck endlers in there, babies everywhere today :) P.S have you ever considered doing a tub just for daphnia? We do this and they survive the UK winter and give us a really good amount of live food daily for the fish room, we use rainwater and they just explode! Thanks again Michael for the tip!
Great video Michael. I always enjoy watching on Sunday morning with a cup of coffee. Working on a mutt guppy 100 gallon. I started out with guppies as a kid and you helped me rekindle my love for them! I'm thinking of adding Endlers to it but have heard that if the fancies bred with endlers, fry will be endlers and not a mix. Your thoughts as I don't personally know anyone that has done this.
With the guppy/endler mix, you will find the hybrids have a lot less colour in the tails than if you just stuck with mixed guppies, our experience anyway. A mixed pond of different strains of endlers would be interesting, don't think I've ever seen someone do that yet?
@@Aquadiction thanks for the input. I may have to try both ideas in separate tanks. I just subscribed to your channel and see that you have a video on this. Be well.
I'm doing this.... adding 4 endler males to an outdoor pond full of excess blue Moscow females as an experiment because i had them. Snakeskin yellow, Japan blue, and 2 black bar double sword.... they're all likely hybrid. It's been so cold here, not willing to take them from heated tank to pond yet, we're overdue for less spring like weather!!!
Great video again. Could you maybe do a small information thing about glass.. like I know my biggest.... tank has had new kit on the corners. 450L by the way.. and the thought the kit will be worn and starts leaking gives me the shiffers. Maybe you have tips on when to renew the whole thing or better to save for a new tank 🤪
Nice Michael. We feed our pools because we have really big fish and if you don't feed them they eat each other... So there's that. But I suppose with guppies it's a bit different.
It will be interesting to see if the mosquito population drops in your area. Sparkling water and hummus/pita bread and liverwurst. No mashed potatoes! 😤

That is awesome!
Got 12 green shrimp from you last week. They are wonderful, thank you!
Lol, no you didn’t.
cold rainy day - Chicken noodle soup while watching . We feed our tubs but like you we want lots of FRY!
We are like twins!
Light over the pond, attract a lil extra tender and delicious smorgasborg of bugs.
👍💓👍
Exactly!

Ponds are fun to feed!
Sure are!

Good thinking with the light in the ponds. Free food! Happy holidays. Hope your health is doing well. 👍
Not me, someone told me.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.
Very helpful thank you 🙏 l do see my guppies eating stuff in my pond but they refuse dry food l try to give them. So it’s fine.
Yup
Thanks for the content
Thanks for watching!
HA! Did you get my Amazon led light?
Was that yours?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I think I shared it on FB, one’s in my guppy aquarium, another in a potted plant. I liked them so much that I have about 6 now lol
I feed my pond twice a day. I feed a prepared blend in the morning. And, I feed frozen cyclops rotifers etc. in the evening🐠🦯
Nice
Nice Michael. We feed our pools because we have really big fish and if you don't feed them they eat each other... So there's that. But I suppose with guppies it's a bit different.
For sure!
ROTFL! Love the bloopers!
Best part.
Cant wait to get my 300 gallon pound up to get some of your fish 😊
Do it!
Just had my pleco eggs hatch what would the best leaves to add to the grow out tank
Indian Almond Leaves from @KJE AQUATICS
How do you keep your ponds warm enough
A heater
do u keep your fry and the adults in the same tanks or do you separate them into separate tanks
I colony breed.
@@MichaelsFishRoom thanks so u never separate the babies then they are left in the same tank in which they are born with the parents?
Food makes fish breed. So yep...feed them for the best result. Imo. All the best on this memorial day.
So does Barry white.
@@MichaelsFishRoom And when I try to get the wife to listen to Barry White, she tells me to go fish.
The circle is completed!
Any update on the red dragons?
What red dragons? Guppies?
@@MichaelsFishRoom yes
@@MichaelsFishRoom yes on the red dragon guppies any updates?
I was actually going to suggest a light to attract bugs at night. How is it working for you?
So far so good!
Where are your ponds located?
In my backyard
@@MichaelsFishRoom sorry I meant regional location, like northeast , southeast -
Micheal I have one question can we take shrimps with our guppies?
Sure
Cool video
Thanks Coop.
I would definitely feed your pond! If your growing for cash especially!
Yup
Ceasar salad with salmon
Yummy
Where's Hank?
In his tank, why?
Hang a bug zapper above the pond
It will be interesting to see if the mosquito population drops in your area.

That sounds hideous. Lol
Lol!
What is so funny?
A little disappointed today,thought we were baiting the snowflakes so you could do a good rant ( thought for next time).
