I Put this on journal, but not sure if journals are still visible. (do you think I'm.... maybe..... overstocked)

i'm gonna go with yes..... without being harsh, is that your point or you offering to sell?

i honestly dont mean any offence! (just unsure lol)

Would not be any use trying to sell on this forum... (being from SA).... yea!... It is a point.....(100 males in a 4ft) 2 x 90% water changes per week, strong filtration.... but they are healthy and as happy as a fish in water....

Photo1 is in outside pond.... The rest, males in one tank, females in another, and then there are the blondies swimming around with their own fry.

Yeah it looks a tad crowded. I know guppies are low-bioload, but hey- the sky is the limit with these guys once you have a male and a female! Why don't you offload some to a local pet store? I'm not sure about SA, but in north america at least they will take your fish for a store credit or sometimes even cash. They will only give you 10-25% of the sale price but hey- it's all money in the piggy bank right

not to be any offence to but do you live in a rather wealthy part?,or if not or if so you could go to a local school in south africa and set them up with a fish tank with aquarium and other needs and put some guppys there that could be a really really nice learning for young 6-13 year olds

That's some varied guppies!

Full pond shot?

Really like the planted guppy tank. All looks and sounds so natural, I envy you being able to keep these in outdoor ponds.

Do you keep any strains separate?

Have only 2 pet shops in town....only one keeps fish in about 10 tanks..... All the fish in there are from my stocks on store credit basis.... I supply to (average) at R4 and they sell for R35....(I've asked them to lower their prices for increased turnover, but they refuse).

Lots of private sales as well, anybody wants 2 guppies, I scoop about 20 and charge them for the 2... This goes for all my other available fish as well.... Convicts, Swords, Mollies, Platies, Blue Gouramies, Comet Goldfish.....& finally got rid of my last 4 Bettas last week. (I have no real access to breeding stocks - of other species -, or else the list would be much longer)...(live almost 300km from the City.... 600km return trip if I can market over there)......
