So I have a rescue guppy female I saved. She was so thin and beaten I really thought she would never be all the way back to have any drops. I have three male “Endler” guppies I’m sure they are hybridized not pure blood lines. So nature have run it’s course and I have 7-10 fry!!! How long before...

So I gather as a “hobbyist” the best way to make “money” is to keep something that’s on the rare side Enjoy it and if they breed sell the offspring. This way all your cost are not business related and any funds you get are just a “bonus”.

How do you get a blind male to mate? I mean this honestly those techniques might transfer to hybrid projects so I would interested in input.

Is it possible that albino bettas are all blind this would be an explanation to why they are not bred and therefore rare

First I’ve heard awesome find

This is going to sound crazy so hold on: cut a potato in half scratch out the center to form a cup bury it in the ground maybe 8 inches or so in soil not sandy rocky stuff wait three or four days. Wrote you dig up the potato make some mushy oatmeal I mean just as pudding like as you can get it...

After a couple decades away from the hobby I set this Five gallon up four month ago. My substrate is pea gravel. The five larger rocks I scavenge from a field at my job as well as the orange tree root fragment. There are a handful of wild caught glass shrimp a merited snail in there some where...

Everyone talks about many tanks to set up breeding. I wonder if you found a used 40 gallon long and split it to four tanks with dividers that would cost $100 to setup. This would allow you to have three broods with the parents removed and still house the parents in the fourth section where I’m...

Yeah a photo tour may be in order;)

Do you run a LFS or what cause your like producing enough food to feed a lake lol

I don’t have the self discipline to limit myself that way. That is a strength I just don’t have. I have thought about possibly breeding the Endlers but not really into the price tag on a female. I know people get up in arms about hybrids. However I do have a female guppy I rescued not sure why...

Wow that’s generous unfortunately I’m in the US. If I ever win the lotto I’ll finally take a vacation and maybe we can work something out then.:D

I haven’t seen this from my Endlers. I’ll have to pay close attention because I’d really like to switch the ghosts out for a blue variant. Just think the blue would make for neat contrast.

Just a 5 gallon they share with some a feeder shrimp
