4 Guppies

[Viettxboii]

so i have 2 male 2 female guppies what should i raise the numbers up to provide less aggression(none present as i see it)and perhaps more fry as well, particularl hardyness and colour is what im looking for though.

Less aggression and more fry would mean more females. More males would mean more color but be very stressful on the females. Could just keep a tank of all males...

more colors=males, but more aggression if you've got females in the tank as well
more fry=females, but less color

try to get colorful females?
i've got a few...it's rare though
keep the 2F-1m ratio though or approx.

For all Livebearers, I'd be inclined to go 3 female / 1 male.

I agree.

If the guppys are new it will take a while before they settle down a pecking order, the males attentions towards the females will change depending on things like what stage the females are in their pregnancies etc.
IMHO You should definately get at least another 2-3females, i'm surpised you didn't get more to begin with, this topic should also be done in the common livebearer section of the forum really.

yep i agree on getting a few more females, looking in your sig, i wouldn't worry to much about fry unless your tanks is heavily planted

Theses guppies were bred by my friend, which he has millions of but for osme odd reason hes refusing to hand me more, iunno i may go buy some fancy females whcih my the LFS sells same price as reg.females. Frywise i woulnt worry as , theres not that much hdiing places atm, and the angel can tank care of them....and im just looking so that a few survive..survival of hte fittest eh..
i may have to get a breeding/isolation unit for breeding, and isolation though..as well as a few more plants..
