QUOTE(petro_ash @ Mar 22 2007, 09:48 PM) 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? i think every fish behaves like that. always looking for food. my advise is do not give in.   fish will eat and eat and eat untill they get buncit (and still eat) and eventually die. no matter how much you give them they will still appear hungry |

QUOTE(cskeong @ Mar 23 2007, 10:10 AM) 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? ive only seen greedy goldfish doing that...This post has been edited by kimmie: Mar 23 2007, 10:42 AM |

QUOTE(cskeong @ Mar 20 2007, 09:40 AM) the fish dead long ago threw away already......if i found the dead fish maybe left bones only ya, some time my guppy oso behave like tat. 1 hepothesis i made my own is, the tail color is almost the same with the food, so they thought the tail is the food, so they chase lo..... lol  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   |

Still about food: How long can guppies stay alive before they starve and RIP?  I don't think guppies do that |

HI
 1 of my newly bought male guppy just died of all sudden. It has been in my established tank for a week. Others are doing just fine without any signs of tension or disease. So, i`m all out of ideas of the cause of death. Is it becoz it died of old age? How can anyone know how old their guppies are? any methods? |

Is it very big n old ones or just normal ones??? Male or Female?
Sometimes they just died of exhaustion due to the chasing n breeding, both applies for male and female. This post has been edited by Lance8431: Jun 6 2007, 10:50 PM |
