Err, if somebody chewing your butt wat do you feel?

It takes time for them to recover their tails in full and takes some energy for them also. Feed them nicely and separate better la.

i have a question for guppy sifus...May i know what do you put in the water to condition the water?

because i normally use anti chlorine/chloramine(azoo brand), some salt, and some melafix. (However by doing so, i still find some of my guppies dying sooner or later)

have to put salt for guppy one meh? I thought salt for betta only.

i follow what the lfs owner taught me...any more comments? really need help here

hmmm here's some stuff i learned from the sifu's around here. if your tank is a new one meaning everything is brand new than the cycle would be the culprit.or maybe u placed too many fish into 1 tank? water contains contaminants? what i meant by contaminants are those chemical and biological types which we can't see with our naked eye. also you might have overdosed on the anti chlorine and salt.....duno perhaps if you could describe your tank better like what size, how many fish, any live plants, gravel, how long the tanks has been around i think the sifu's could help you better

ok....there are 6 guppies in a 2ft tank(a few years old) i did not overdose the anti chlorine and salt as i measured everything precisely.....There are 2 live plants that do not show any signs of rotting...normal stone gravel...1 sponge filter, and an overhead filter (with anti ammonia rocks)

hmm a few years old tank so the cycle might be out of the question. exact measurement for the anti chlorine and salt so no problem there but i've been informed that never ever use table salt. use the salts meant for aquarium use sold by lfs.

one other reason i can think of is the guppy whacking each other and i'm not joking. a few of my guppies died and i noticed that their tail was in shreds......evidence of being attacked.

my guppies get more n more but not so nice.... try to find a nice guppy to born a nice baby guppy.

hi everyone where to find super nice gred guppies?

nice guppy very expensive.....

anyway they breed fast...and for this kind of fish better get nice; too much normal guppies around

i saw a complete full red guppy before and it was RM 40++ ........better make sure you have a lot of experience in fish caring.......dun wan to have the fish belly up day after you bought. i saw the fish in penang..........

oh cool

err never heard before of guppies whacking each other. they are peaceful by nature.
shredded tails may be due to bad water condition, or fin rot maybe? a picture might help

the fish dead long ago threw away already......if i found the dead fish maybe left bones only ok this is why i said it was getting whacked. i have a group of guppy. all of their tail fins are different and easy to tell apart. one particular guppy was chased all the time by the others.............few days later it ended belly up and the tails was in shreds........ then another one kena.........maybe i accidentally bought x-guppy...........vicious type one

wonder is urs really a guppy? what u feed them ahem?

penang here got a lot guppy sifus and some of them do breed the fishi....very nice breed indeed.....import from taiwan thru s'pore

of courselah guppy not sum kind of weird mutant fish lah haha. what i feed them......fish pellets and once a week some bloodworms


icic they import from taiwan arh that i duno. i just know the guppy i saw are tops!!! full red, full black,full blue and one in particular caught my eye body and fin black with some atrractive red color pattern.....wah if that one breed

edit: the lfs where i saw the guppy has very few fish.they sell aquarium mostly. i think i can expect to get his high quality guppy soon as i noticed he only have the guppy i mentioned in 1 pair of female and male in their own private tank. around 6 to 7 tanks. he's definitely trying to breed them. hope that he succeed then heheheeh i can buy the offspring

After feeding time, most of my guppies will search sumthing on the sand as if searching for food. Does that mean i did not give enuf? or i shud not "layan" their desire?

no idea what your fish is doing. i read from the net they usually feed their guppy twice a day in small quantitiy. as for me i feed them a heavy meal once a day. never seen my guppy behave like yours. perhaps its just some natural behaviour for them? any sifu can explain?
