I was hoping to get along to the show at the weekend & get some pointers, but as I couldnt go, I thought I would ask on here, for any advice people might be able to offer please.
I would like to set up our first go at breeding a specific line of fancy guppies, I'm buying a couple more tanks, which when divided will give me approx 4-6 sections, I now this is probably not enough, but its all I will have until Jan.
Hubs has agreed to get working on the fish room for me as my christmas pressie, but that will be a few months in the making.
Which line of guppies do you consider the most beautiful? I know everyone will have their own opinions, but would be interested to see.
Where do you buy your breeding stock from? I have joined the BLA, will there be info on guppies available in the monthly publication? Any ideas how I could find a local group?
How many pairs should I start with, or would a trio be best?
Do you keep all the males together & all the females together, choose the best pair, place them in a breeding tank, how long do you leave them together to ensure they have mated? Then do you leave the female in the breeding tank, remove the male & await the big day?
Phew! So many questions, sorry, but any advice or info would be great.
