Hi people i have decided to go for a guppy set up and keep only these fish, How many do you think i could keepm in a tank this size???
Lights and filters are standard as they come in the box. :good:
 
Hi Mate I Would Put Bout "20" In An See How They Go Mate.
 
20 is plenty.. i can get a few nice colours in there then :good:

I dont want a bottom feeder in there but is it best to have one ???
 
I Would Have One In Mate Just To Keep On Top Of The Tank. Just Remember guppy Breed Like Mad I'v Had Mine 1 Week And Got 4 Baby Fry's In ! Day Setup And I'v Got 2 What R Ready To Go In Breading Tank.

What would be a nice safe bottom feeder to go with?

I did read they breed like mad :good:
Was going to have a go at breeding some nice colours..
 
Your Best Asking The Suppliers Were You Get Them From As Thay Can Be Funny With Guppy's Mate.
 
I don't really think there are any bottom dwellers suitable for that tank (I have one myself).

You could look at shrimps, maybe, but you don't need a bottom dweller; it's your job to clean up, and if you don't overfeed, you shouldn't have much waste on the bottom anyway.

I wouldn't put more than eight or ten guppies in there, and I'd advise you to get all males; you don't really have enough room for females or fry.

My plan is to start stocking my Juwel 450 with them as they breed, so every time fry are born i will move to the larger tank and in time every fish in the big tank will be home bred, Which i think willl be pretty cool. :good:

As for the bottom feeder i will give them a miss.... :good:
 
That's a nice idea :)

Do think about shrimps though, they're really cute and interesting.
