Male Guppies

[FishSticks]

I never kept guppies before but from what I've read they sound like extremely hardy fish and they look real nice. They only thing that worries me is that I'm suppose to keep more females than males so they won't get too stressed out. Do I really even need to have any female guppies in my aquarium at all, can I just keep all males? I've looked at the female guppies and they just don't look as good as the males!

Yes you can keep a all-same-sex tank, I'm doing it right now to control my breeding(been doing it for over half a year). I find males get more aggressive when there's a female to fight over, so with no female present, they'll be fine with each other. Just provide some shelter b/c there's often a alpha male who sometimes will push others around.

Ok, I'll do that then. Thanks for the quick respond!

I love my guppies lol . They're fun to keep and they act silly ! My two males get along great so I dont think you will have a problem . I dont like keeping females because I don't want a bunch of little ones swimming around .

I love your username by the way and good luck!

You know what they say about a tank filled with just males


They were created to breed, so I think if they're not able to mate with a female they will die at an early age. Or they might get diseases from trying stuff with the other guys...

You're not serious...right?
