Wind Pollinated Guppies....

[Ludwig Venter]

I only have this one tank with guppies in it..... (originally)..... Their 3ft deep pond is filled only to about 1ft from the brim... yet!!!... I have guppies in with the Swords, (adjacent pond) I have guppies in with the Corydoras... some 3ft away, and I have guppies in with the Platties and Mollies... 4ft away from their tank..... Now how does this happen if it is not wind pollination???

Haha, awesome thread title. Probably tiny baby guppies getting carried between ponds in nets/buckets/any other shared media.

You clearly showed them the threads here saying how difficult guppies are to breed, keep and to rear Lud.

Reverse physiology fishy style

Oh and you read the threads how guppies cross with mollies, swords, platties and now cory's this is how there getting every where. Invasion of the mutant guppy!

Are you bragging or complaining LV? We have members here who actually think that guppies are hard to rear and are "weak" and subject to early deaths. While your experience and mine are similar, there is nothing quite as tough and resilient as a guppy, your statement that they show up with no help from you is hard to explain. Do you never use the same net to move things around in a guppy pond or tank and then use the same net in one of your other tanks? Do you never have a need to move a crowded plant grouping from one tank or pond to another? These actions can spread fish between tanks unintentionally. I refuse to keep my endlers in the same room as any guppies. It gives me some assurance that the fish will never be mixed. When I first kept endlers I thought that some fry that I found were endlers. I later figured out that I had used a net in a platy tank and then in an endler tank. It turned out that simply by using the same net I had moved some platies to my endler tank.
