guppy

Hi, I recently got some guppies for my first fish tank and they spend most of their time at the surface. Is this normal? I have a filter installed and an airstone installed. The airstone seemed too powerful so I keep it on for a minute at some times during the day so I don't stress out the fish.

So I was browsing the marketplace yesterday and came upon an ad for free fish tanks. I, of course, hopped on it. Just got home after picking it up and setting it up. It turns out, she still had the fish, but would have no tanknonce I left with the last one. She offered the fish as well. I...

So a friend close to me bought some tanks that came with fish, which he didn't want. I said I would take them off his hands. Ot was a mixed lot of neon tetra and supposedly guppies, but two of these female are absolutely huge. I suspect they are actually a crossbreed, and therefore infertile...

Hai So, one of my grandparents female fancy guppies look not well. She's really skinny and really long. And a chunk of her gill is missing. She's acting fine, but doesn't look like it. The photos are blurry, sorry. Should I move her to a hospital tank? I'd the water parimaters, but the tank is...

Hi guys, My guppy flamingo has been clamping her fins today and I'm not sure what the cause is?? I changed the water yesterday, all params are fine. I have 70L with 5 guppies (3 babies) and 3 male platys whom she has been best friend with for months now. Here is a picture of her a couple of...

Hi there, hope someone can help. One of our guppies has swim bladder - showing the classic signs. We have followed the good advice we could find - - we stopped feeding him - put him in quarantine tank away from others (this is an established tank) - gave swim bladder treatment (have given day...

Just as the title says. I was looking at my guppies the last couple days, and one of my new fish in quarantine’s tail started to get clear in the middle rather than the beautiful blue when I bought her. At first I didn’t think anything of it, figured it was just stress but the whiteness kept...

Hello, I have a guppy tank, and one of my guppies looks close to death. She's swimming vertically, struggling to swim, and her gills arent moving much. I tried doing a water change to see how she would do... she seems terribly close to death. Attached photo. Any suggestions please?

So I’ve got a 29 gallon tank that’s divided in half. On one side I have my male guppies and the other my female. Anyway, I have one of the male guppies in an isolation box because he kept endlessly harassing a single other male guppy. The isolation box is mesh so it just sits in the main tank...

I’ve recently been searching on the web about methods of yielding more male/female Guppies from batches of fry. I’ve read that softer water with lower PH yields more females, harder water with higher PH yields more males. I’ve read that even the temperature can affect the ratio of sexes. Has...

One of my yellow guppies has an extremely clamped fin. A few days ago it looked like he had burned his back fin on the heater. I just finished treating the tank for ich, so i have the temp around 83°. I haven’t done a test on the water quality lately because I’ve been changing it 20% every 48...

Hi, new to fish keeping literally only had fish for a week and I already have so much going on. In the tank I have 2 x Cory catfish, 8 x pacific blue-eyes (1-2cm fish), 6 x male guppies, 6 x female guppies, 6 x neon tetra, 1 x male gourami and 1 x snail. This is in a 100L tank. They all seem...

I have a pair guppies that I have had for 6 weeks. So far there have been no hiccups except where the female started to get weak, and hung out by the filter intake, but now she's slightly better. I don't have water tests yet because I'm in a bit of a rush, but the male is lying on the ground...

So my tank is starting to look amazing for what I want it to be, I have a 40L tank with 6 Phantom Tetra, 4 Guppies, and 3 corydoras. However, one of my guppies is displaying some weird symptoms that I can't find anything online about. On its sides towards its head turns blackish every so often...

Hello! Can someone give me some tips at caring for 160+ guppy fry. My aunt wanted to throw her sons guppies (I separated them by gender the first time I got them) so I decided to adopt them since my brother has been wanting some for a while now, and noticed that 3 of them was pregnant, the...

Does anyone find these two appealing? I’m trying to decide if I should breed out a strain of these. They were a really random coloration out of all the cobra tailed ones I have. Unless it was the other female who spawned these. Idk I think a feeder male mustve crossed with one of the cobra...

Hi guys, New to the forum here. introduced 4 x guppies to a new tank (around 2 weeks since set up) today, and suddenly noticed one has a growth from the belly. Images attached. Has anyone seen this before? No other guppy has it, and we didn’t notice right away, leading us to believe it may have...

Lately my female guppy has been lying down in the gravel in one particular. I don't see any particular signs of any diseases or fungi. I know it's not pregnancy because she gave birth a week ago. In the photo it looks like she's hovering but earlier she was sitting AMMONIA: 0ish - yellow but...

Hi, I got 2 males and one female by accident. is there gonna be a problem? I only have a 10-gallon tank.

I wasn’t really sure where to post this, but I just found some white worm-looking creatures on the glass of my 10 gallon. I’m not sure whether or not I should be concerned, but I thought I would ask if anyone is able to identify them anyway. An image has been attached, it’s the best one I could...
