hi guys, aqua plant is good for guppy, but plants wil release some protein to the water after the process fotosintesis, so if u notice there wil b a layer of oil like floating on top surface of water, if u dont hv a surface skimmer, then just put in 1 or 2 black molly fish, and if u wan to hv babies guppies, then make sure u hv a lot plants inside the tank, the ratio for male : female the best is 2 male : 1 female. if u just keep for fun, then any breed wil do, but if u r a beginer, then i suggest u dont go for the red eye / albino red eye species, they r quite hard to handle bcos they cant really see! if u mix with other fish/types, then they wil always kena bully. any fish food or bloodworm is good enug for them. if u wan to hv nice plant tank, then make sure u hv a lamp with at least 6000K full spectrum n water temperature keep to around 25-26C. just to share my basic knowledge, anyone kno mandarin n interest to learn more can join the site i recommend. peace   

sorry sorry
my mind used to think that fishes lay eggs


how did you all maintain the babies? how to feed them?
anyone moved the babies after the mother finish giving birth?
or when you all see signs of giving birth, then shift the mother to another tank?
i'm still wondering, how to measure how many gallon my tank is?
mind to advise?
thank you

ic ic...but normally real plant will always die faster right?..unlike plastic one..i think around few weeks d need to change lor..and which one is better for breeding guppy ar?

any suggestions for DIY Co2? My tank posted in first page, hve
gone to a few shops, cheapest abt RM85/-....thanks

ouch, had the same problem wit sum snails, whihc turned out to be millions...   had bought snail remover, but it removed everything in the tank as well   wow, ur Goldfish really old bro...

yes i was told but also the might eat my other fishes in the tank, so decided
against it, but mana tau, the meds were too strong, killed everything in sight
thanks anyways...

Well let me tell you, I have given up trying to get rid of the snails!  Those damn things just will not go away!! It came with some plants I got from a friend. The snails spread like crazy. At times, I have to just pick them out by turning over every single stone in my tank. That's the only way I am controlling it now.

I did buy a snail remover/killer solution but to no avail. When I get home, I'll post some pictures of the snail remover solution. If I can, I'll take some close up of what I think are snail eggs too if when I find them. Pesky little things. I know they provide benefits to a tank but boy... they produce too fast for my liking!

I think the best way is to replace some new fish to the breeding tank. That was what I did last time to maintain their saiz.

waah.... new info to me... will that happen if humans oso do the inbreed? getting smaller and smaller all the time..

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.

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?
