I recently flew to Vietnam and one tank of my uncle Is at least 20 gallons but I think it's a lot more, and it is filled with guppies and some other fish, and it has no filters, heaters. The tank is dark green and trust me it is DARK. Also it is place outside with no aquarium stand, and the frys are placed in a bucket, and I notice the tank has slot more males than females and it is chasing them like crazy, it has no decorations, no ornaments, no plants. And when I told him about the over harrassing he ask how to help it. I told him either put more females or put some decorations, plants in the tank, so he just grap a rock made for aquarium and just drop it in there. Then he trapped a net and net out the pregnant females that are ready to burst out frys. He netted one and just place it on the floor and show me how he know the female is pregnant, like idk. For at least ten second then he place it in another bucket with also no heater, no filter. I asked him how do they survive? He said at first every guppies he bought die in a few days, and then he grapped a oxygen maker a pretty ghetto one with two balls connecting to the machine, although it's like your hand sized machine, he said when he make the tap water, he put the two balls in for oxygen, then he REMOVE it then put REGULAR salt in it. Then he's done, when adding guppies, he just dump the guppy in it, no float the bag technique. The fish food is only some very cheap flake food no brine shrimp, no treats. I feel very sorry for the guppies kept by him. What should I do? I told him that the proper way is having filter, heater...etc what should I do to these guppies,
