hahaha okay... 1 hr old is like what? 1mm in size? hahaha..... now is just shrimp only tank? send me and see see... then tonight take again?

lol okok.... forgot its about guppies here

lol thanks, need to pay you advertising fee? hahaha

agreed, you can get a smaller one, start with just a pair, as you have more fishes, that's your excuse to buy. wakakak..... so bad of me... lol... but honestly, 1 tank cannot do anything with pure strain guppy, especially small tank. unless you dont plan to breed.

not so much on thailand guppies, i been there last month, quite disappointing. taiwan yes, plenty of them, we can even get you "best of show" guppy strain (or family members) in the "world guppy contest". but problem is, what is your budget. in the world of guppy in taiwan, it's pretty chaotic also haha....

lol.... translate into future discounts. hahaha

for a start, the bolded, put a sponge filter into the pail, air pump it for 24 hours, then it is good to go already. 2 days is already more than enough for the water to be safe for use.

what filter are you using? i'm only using sponge filter, don't have other type of filter also. i suspect, in your tank, already got some kind of virus brought in by your guppies, or even the fake plant, should be washed before use. how often do you change water? when i'm free, I used to 30% water daily, or about 50% every 2 days, or about 70-80% water every 3-4 days. keep the condition of the water good to keep your guppies healthy.

no need to put salt unless there's sick fish inside. after water change, put salt then don't feed for 2 days. see how it goes. or you can quarantine your sick fish. but if i were you, i will start all over again, as in, clear all the tank, clean it, put water into it, let it run for at least 2-3 days with sponge filter before introducing any fishes. good luck.

indirect sunlight could also caused green water. green water doesn't mean it is not good, it's good for fishes too, but you cannot see them only. can try doing large water change and see how it goes. what kind of plant are they?

suggest you post the question in the planted tank thread. i'm not too sure either.

i change about 50% every 2-3 days.

5 days imo is a bit too long already.

actually there is not such thing as best practice, but just that you need to let the fishes get used to your way of rearing fishes.

there are people who use treated water of 12 hours, 24 hours (like me), 48 or 72 hours. there is no such unwritten rule.

but rather, how are your fishes getting along with your way of keeping them happy. but generally, 24 hours is good enough (my opinion).

yeah, no need to put anti chlorine. if i know i'm not gonna change for more than 2 days, i also wont put anti chlorine...

but if more than 10 days then better dont use already. this 1 taught by a shrimp master. haha....

i mean if the water is more than 10 days old in your reserve tank, then the water is best not to be used already. taught by a shrimp master.

i also mean, if i'm not gonna change water for 2 days, then immediately after the refill of water in the reserve tank, i wont use anti chlorine, the air bubble from air pump can nullify the intoxication elements by itself already without the use of anti chlorine.

first, what do you feed your fry?

the only solution is............ feed live food....... haha.... like artemia brine shrimps (the only recommended food). or you can feed microworm, but the risk of getting viruses or bacteria is higher with microworm, or can feed 水蛭. i dunno what is it called in english.

feeding with live food is more effective. you will notice the difference.

my fry 3 weeks old only already reaching 1 inch soon.....

keep up the feeding intervals. sometimes when i'm at home like weekend, i would feed like every 2-3 hours, up to 7-8 times a day... but in smaller quantity....

that's how you get big sized fish at 2.5 month, 3 months will then be fully grown ad...

is ok 1. but reminder, just dont switch off the light. dont let them sleep will do.

when you feed very frequent that time lor.......... normally i let the lights on for another 3-4 hours before switching it off, to allow the fish to digest the food from the meals.... or the last meal...

haha nice office tank..... but if in the office, i would make it a more dense planted tank...

your red fish is also bought from "C 哥“ or "浩哥"?

i see..... this is really maintenance free tank. so easy in changing water. but no need to siphon out the dirt lying on the ground? envy... how i hope i can put up a tank in my office....

see… I see your fish I know whose strain it is…. Hahaha…. Why not get their mosaic, they are famous with their mosaic. 白蓝马赛克… very nice strain. Best is if with 半礼服. 半礼服白蓝马赛克. fuuuhhh long time didnt see such fish liao...
