guppy

I bought vienna emerald from a shop 2 month ago and raising children. But they are not as beautiful as they used to be 10 years or so ago.(I regret I didn't keep the old strain.) Their emerald color got less vivid and they got micromelanin stain in its caudal fin upper base(the place I want the...

Does anyone know how to tell if a female guppy has japanblue gene on x chromosome? For example, how about the female guppy in the link below? https://www.shopping-charm.jp/product/2c2c2c2c-2c2c-2c2c-2c2c-2c3137323937

I gained about 30 fry from golden( japanese tiger) guppy strain. And one of them found out to be a blonde. Is this often happens? Is there any genetic relationship between autosomal golden and blonde gene? Does anyone know well about this?

Hi, We’re very new to fish keeping and bought some guppies a few days ago. as one of the guppies seemed like she may be ready to give birth (squarish belly, staying in one spot) and the males kept nipping at her we put her in a breeder box. When we checked on her we saw a piece if white fuzzy...

About a few weeks ago I had bought a 21gal tank and I had a 4gal tank with a minnow and a danio (all the others died off). I had only bought this bigger tank because I wanted to give them friends so I left the tank for like 4 days with a filter from a cycled tank and live plants. Then when I...

I got her three weeks ago from the aquarium store, the owner thought she could have gotten pregnant in transit. She’s super aggressive, still very hungry and active, poops a lot. There’s only her and one other female in my tank. Thank you!

How many guppies can I keep in a 10 gallon? No other fish, just guppies(All males or all females so they don't breed), as well as a couple snails. I don't want to do water changes more than weekly since I usually just do tank maintenance over the weekend.

So I have a 20 gallon fishtank with plastic plants and aquarium rocks for substrate. I havent had good success with fish in the past year. I cycle the tank, wait for everything to go to the right levels. Then, I purchase maybe 5 fish (hardy fish like guppies or goldfish) acclimate them and then...

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...
