those are recommended ratio only. i just put in a few male to 1-2 female (selected ones for breeding purposes) to make sure higher success rate.

no need to put pleco, if your tank is big you can opt to put corydoras, they can eat up the left over fish food, however, they can swim super fast and might injure your guppies if the guppy is not aware/alert. the best alternative is just put in some apple snails. if you need it, come collect from me, give you a pair for free.

keeping guppies does not require anything at all, just a bare tank will do, however if you want to have soil or plants is entirely up to you. you don't need a big tank if you separate the adult fish and fry. the tank size is also up to you, but just make sure do not overcrowd, unless you are willing to do 30-40% daily water change.

if you insist on a filter, i would recommend just get an air pump and use the sponge filter, cheap and easy to maintain.

don't worry, the female can handle to prevent gang rape.

if you only want to keep guppy and nothing else, if not doing planted tank but just a bare tank? then go ahead and get an air pump.

if you wanna do a planted tank, i would recommend a 2ft (good size for a start) and you won't go wrong with eheim. get the 2215 (better) or 2213.

if just a bare tank, air pump would do, i use hilea. not too bad. not really cheap but not too expensive either.

just do something like this would do. simple and easy to maintain (at least for me)









literally nothing else in my tank.

my tanks are individual tanks.

any aquarium shop you can get a 2ft aquarium.

2ft tank is 60cm long. Just go to any LFS and ask for a 2 ft tank they will show you. There are many grades, they ranges from say 30 plus to few hundred, not sure about ADA.

the one you're seeing is definitely not a cheap one. If you're planning to do a planted tank and if you have the budget, by all means go ahead.

Why I say 2ft? Cos it is a good size for a start for planted tank and good room for error. However, if you wanna breed guppies, 2ft tank is not the right size. Recommend to get those like 3 compartments in a 2ft tank.

and ya, that's a standard 2ft tank.

i think no need fan, guppies can live in a large range of temperature, but ideal is around 25-28. anything less than 30 would do.

many of my friends also keep guppies outdoor, but no direct sunlight.

oh well, i have plenty. hikari, sera, tetra brand, spiralling, decapsulated brine shrimp, and some other dry fish food. most importantly, i hatch brine shrimp for my fishes (best food you can provide to guppies).

hatching own brine shrimp, for the fry/fishes to eat. live food are guppies' favourite.

actually for guppies, i prefer to keep in a bare tank only, easier to maintain, and keep fry in a separate tank, that way it grow faster too.

can't see properly if it's yellow snakeskin or yellow lace. tail not big enough imo. can rotate the pic?

i only use air tubing to suck out the poop.

I change water almost on daily basis, if not daily then every 2 days. so my water level is always optimum.

you should first keep water first, in an empty tank with just air pump running for 24 hours (recommended), you can add some anti chlorine into this water tank. after 24 hours or more, you can transfer the water directly into the fish tank (after you suck out poop and certain % of water). this is how i change water.

I only use salt when the fishes are sick, otherwise i don't use at all.

it doesnt quite look like a double sword tail and the tail is kinda short though. it happens by accident.

of course i'm talking about guppies. you not sure doesn't mean it don't exist, hello.

this is my double sword yellow lace



want to see more?
these are all double sword guppies


there are sword tail guppies too.

you can let me know what strains are you looking for, we can find you many kind of guppies but not sure if you are willing to spend only. we import a lot of guppies from taiwan and they don't come cheap. but locally we can find some cheaper alternative.

lol, thanks bro. but not many people are keen and into guppies la, when it comes to fancy guppies. got friend wanna buy? i give very good price yo. lol.

Commission? Can, give you more fishes when you purchase fishes from me?

Of course nice la. 1st runner up of this category leh.

Nola don't have yet, breeding it now. Gotta wait for few months and see. Interested?

I don't have shop, we're guppy club. We keep guppies as hobby only. We can find you different type of guppies you want, mainly from Taiwan.

they are beautiful, no?

you may go for platinum full white. that's the brightest i can think of.

i posted many photos here before, go back a few pages and you should be able to see.
right now i only have japanese sky blue for sale. but if you are looking for others, i can help you to source for it.

i hope it is sterilised one, feeding with this type of worm comes with a risk as they might carry parasites, make sure you feed this only in the morning, don't feed at night, if you do, keep the lights on whole night.
