[Lokemer]

So i bought a tank that im going to fill with guppies to breed and feed to my oscars. i have a 20gallon tank so what amount of guppies cna i get?

not many people keen on doing this, but id start off with 3 males and 6 females, and youll soon get a population going, but youll need a grow out tank

id say none as i think its a tad sick

the rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon (maximum)

wrong, this is not a rule by any means its a guide, i stock my tanks at 2" per gallon, because i can easily rectify a situation.

if you have monster filtration and keep up on WC youll be fine with 2" a gallon but why use feeder fish? there of no nutritional value to your oscars whatsoever

'Rule of thumb' means its to be used as a guide,not as a hard , fast rule.

they are not actual rules but more or less some guidelines

i agree with u on feeding the oscars

 

[Lokemer]

Why use feeders? Because it gives the oscars something to chase hence keeping them healthy.

yeah i meant feeding the oscars guppies is sick as they where brought to the fish trade to be pets not fish food

 

[Truck]

feed them something along the lines of what they eat in the wild, because guppies have no nutrition in them whatsoever

 

[Lokemer]

i know but i meman i bought a tank for guppies and im going to fill it up with guppies. I am going to feed them a diet but a oscar kept in captivity needs somthing to chase and hunt it keeps them healthy and they live longer.
