Thanks for the pointers... but unfortunately they've come a bit late as all the guppies have now died :( Only the plec remains. Not sure whether to just sell up the whole lot and admit defeat. Very disapointed. Might do a huge water change (the plec obv seems v resistant to whatever the prob...

Hi - HELP NEEDED ASAP PLEASE...!! I have a 12gallon tank with (had approx 10 guppies in) been setup about 5yrs, no problems and all well. They've all been breeding in the past, and all seemed fine. After returning from a weekend away; I found around 12 baby guppy fry in tank (hooray!!) HOWEVER...

Many thanks everyone for all your comments. In the end, I went with 3 mollies (2f 1m) and 3 swordtails (2f 1m) of varying colours - black, white, black+white, pineapple, gold and gold/black so hopefully will get nice results if/when they may ever produce fry. Thanks again and best wishes to...

Sounds like gouramis need quite a bit of space (and can get q large+aggresive too..) so had a change of heart there also. Someone has suggested Bolivian/German rams which look lovely (I'd never heard/seen them before) so that will probably be the way forward. Any thoughts on how many would go in...

Wow - they're v beautiful, thanks for the advice. I'd never heard of them before. I'll ask my LPS if they could get some in for me. I've never seen them before. What kind of conditions do they need? My tank temp is 76-is this ok? How big do they get and how many would be ok with the guppies in...

Thanks for that. Won't bother with an angel fish then - but how about a gourami or siamese fighter fish ? Are these compatible with guppies/other similar community fish like neons etc, or would they attack them/be attacked... ?

Hey all! :) I have a 50litre (10 UK gallon) tropical setup, with 7 guppies and an albino bristlenose pleco -so all pretty small in size. It's been setup for years but now I have more time on my hands (and our 4yr old is taking an interest in it, yeay..!!) am wanting to add a few more. Any...

Many thanks for the advice there. As I only have 1 platy (male- I think!??) I'm going to get guppies and swordtails. After my (one -and only) bad experience with mollies and them all dying on me over a very short time, I don't want the guilt of any more deaths of them (due to lack of salt in...

HI THERE! I'm going to get more fish for my tank. I have a pregnant guppy, 2 male guppies and 1 platy. Is it good to have 1 male to 3 female guppies? I would like some swordtails too. Is it the same ratio for them as I dont want the females (and the current pregnant guppy) to get stressed with...

Many thanks for all the help.. v interesting. I will certainly keep up posts with pregnancy progress! V pleased she will be having fry!! :good: I'm going to get more fish for the tank. Is it 1 male to 3 female guppies? I would like some swordtails too. Is it the same ratio for them so that...

So you think she is in fact pregnant then?? Great!! 2-3 weeks on?? How long before any sign of fry do you think? Thanks for the info about that colour type of guppy, I didn't know that..

Hi there Please can you tell me if you think this guppy is pregnant or not. I'm a bit confused as I thought pregnant guppies had black spots that are the fry's eyes ?? There is definitely no gravid spot but its tummy seems to be getter bigger. Sorry about the not-so-great quality pics ! Any...
