my guppies are not breeding can any one tell me how i force them to breed? :)
 
you cant force them i am affraid, give us some details and we may be able to help, e.g male to female ratio, you may find they are pregnant and you dont know be patient
 
Are you sure you haven't had some fry and they just go eaten? Are you sure you have both males and females? Guppies will breed very readily so no "forcing" is required :lol:
 
i'd like to ask; would you like to be forced to breed with someone? :no: people would call that rape and go about hiding and blaming themselves or suing the pants off the rapist.

don't force your Guppies, look for females who look ready to pop and stick them in a breeder. if you miss a fry birth hutn through the tank with a turkey baster until you get the missing fry back. it's worked for my Platties ^^
 
as said, make sure you have both males and females. a good ratio is at least two females to every male. guppies really don't need any help in the breeding department. chances are, like william said, that they had fry and you just missed it. check out the livebearer section for the pinned article on breeding. will tell you signs to look for when its time to put the mom in a breeder box/net. quite often, they ahve the babies overnight and eat whatever ones dont' hide fast enough, so you may never even know a birth occurred!!!!!!
 
:huh: actully i had alt of fries but after that when the male come closer to the female she runs away help me
by the way i have 2males and 2females
i used to have 3 females but one died :-(
 
I have three females and two males and now I have over 30 babies in the same tank, I'ts not that hard. Leave the tank light on for a month that usually helps. If they are still not breeding I would suggest getting some other guppies.
