    By breeding guppies, am I ā€œsubjecting generations of animals to rapeā€?

    I sent an image of my brand new, 50 gallon, planted guppy breeding tank as I was very proud of it. Iā€™ve been wanting one since I had gotten my 20 gallon guppy tank in October or September. 1 male per 2-4 females or so, all healthy. About 20 of them, soon to be a lot more. A few hours later...

    Fisherman taking care of fish :)

    Hey all, I am a lifelong avid fisherman who is kind of a new fish keeper. Had to take care of my sister's HUGE comet goldfish (we named her Fatty), a severum, and some of those glowing tetras like 3-4 years ago because her work place didn't have any more time to care for them. She brought them...

    I bought a strain of guppy some weeks ago. I haven't taken photo and now my camera's battery is too low. Well they are Japan blue with clear round tail.

    How do guppy tail fin genetics work exactly

    Hello fam. So I have a few fry that were born from their mothers who were pregnant from the store, so I hadnā€™t gotten a chance to breed them yet, and their tails are freaking me out a little bit. I thought depending on species or type of guppy, they usually had small even fins for normal...
