QUOTE(danny_sp15 @ May 26 2015, 07:38 PM) to be honest. not much changed. How's your gender ratio?like 100% covered? cos my gf guppy tank also like 90% covered. only got a small slit for air (like1.5mm). the guppy still can jump out. landed on her desk. by the time she notice, almost kering ady. then put back in water, back to life. I gave 20-30 fries to colleagues across quite a few spawns but those that I kept turned out to be almost entirely female. I kept only 6 fries across generations and it turned out only one of them is male. |

QUOTE(tehoice @ May 27 2015, 11:49 AM) sometimes the ratio is abit odd.... it is often because of the PH of the water. How to improve the ratio?last time i use to have like only 5 male out of 30 female from one dropping. dunno why also... now can get like 40-60 ratio. which i'm happy with... hehe... wow, you live in Taipei? You're malaysian? My tank is ph7. yeah... Malaysian |

QUOTE(KeithYen @ Sep 9 2015, 02:41 AM) Hi im new to guppy fish and would like to know more. What are the essentials to start a simple guppy tank? What's the minimum tank size needed? And what nice colour breed is recommended for beginners? Is it necessary to have soil and plants in the tank or just a plain tank with a pleco will do? Guppies are very hardy fishes so you really just need a tank, filter and filter media.Cycle your tank http://www.wikihow.com/Cycle-a-Fish-Tank and you're good to go. Don't really need a pleco imo... they just add extra waste into the tank. On soil and plants.. not necessary but some floating plants are always good to soak up ammonia. As for tank size, the bigger the better as they breed like crazy. This post has been edited by sniper on the roof: Sep 9 2015, 10:00 AM |

Need some advice here...
Some time ago, I nbtd go pinjam my albino full red female to my colleague to distract his male sky blue. After getting her back, she's alone in her own tank and had given birth 3 times to non-albino fries. Do you guys think I need to get a new female for breeding? |

QUOTE(tehoice @ Dec 13 2015, 11:56 PM) Isn't sky blue = albino blue tuxedo? which is also albino right? nonetheless, i reckon you could try mating back with male AFR, see if the dropping still come out non-albino? but i think it's easier to just get a new pair, you're in taiwan right? plenty of them at a cheaper price la! I also thought of getting another female. Just my usual breeder's stock not nice recently. |

QUOTE(tehoice @ Jan 11 2016, 10:10 AM) wow, never noticed there is such a thread in mac 2.0, though a member there since 2010, hahaha.... Ever consider using a shelve system instead?anyway, i met the ts there, he's no longer doing guppies, hes focusing on plecos nowadays. inspiring though. but i'm doing manual water change almost everyday, 2 hours, for 20++ tanks... consider faster than his. haha... |
