Jamacian Blue Guppy

[Shred]

Ha, thats strange, I'm down near bristol, and my lfs was selling them in pairs as well. And no mine were with the guppy tanks in tropical water. I've currently got them in my community tank at 25 degrees but I will lower it I think.

Since if they do breed I'll want to get rid of the babies, I've given the orange one to my dad for his tank, hopefully any babies will be the same nice blue as their father, and hopefully easier to sell/give away.

That is my problem; I'm not sure what temperature to keep them at; they were in the cold water tanks at the shop I saw them at.

They will be fine in anything of what we talked about before. If it's a large change from that their in now make sure you change their tamp slowly ie it more than 7-8f difference do it over 30-40 mins as a sudden change is never good.

That'll be ok then

OMG I was fish food shopping on Friday and when I looked in one tank I saw these little things swimming around; they sold them singularly so I managed to get 3 males . I'd love to breed them but at the minute I don't have the space. They still had a couple in when I was in on Sunday but I didn't buy them even though I was very tempted.

I put them in my shrimp tank (red cherry shrimp), they are juviniles at the minute; I did wonder if the shrimp would go into hiding but they haven't in fact they are very protective of the tasty fish food haha. The guppies are way smaller than the shrimp; it's quite funny.
