    • @capitalcityaqatics
      @capitalcityaqatics 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for your comment. Three in a ten gallon could work depending on the layout of your tank. If you have hiding spots and line of sight breaks. I would keep a close eye on them and look for any signs of aggression.

      ​@@capitalcityaqatics I will be interested in your choice for a racking system. I have been looking into the different "diy" options, for a custom rack to fit my needs. I have narrowed it down to the "standard" sort of "'king'of diy" option, to fabricating some thing with Dado joints, to the unique style Cory from aquarium Co-op uses in his store. So I'm thinking a hybrid of the last two would be neato.

    Getting your eggs from Ebay might be more economical Alfred. I don't know if there is an extra charge for Canada though. I do use pool salt for mine and seem to have good results. It is much Cheaper than buying aquarium salt.

    I’m doing the same with platinum red tailed blue dumbo eared guppies. Strange thing is all the babies from the first generation of my three guppy females have yellow tails . Though the fry are still are tiny just a few weeks old, I’m not sure why this is and if I’ll actually get the red tails of the dad . I bought the aquarium co op brine shrimp breeder and it’s great ! Babies love it as do the other fish .

  • @jeffereyhopkins750
    @jeffereyhopkins750 9 місяців тому

    I feed 3 times a day. I grow my own live shrimp for a few days then switch to a bloodworm/daphnia meal while my shrimp is hatching out. The bloodworm/daphnia is freeze dried which I put in a pepper grinder and it gives the fry small enough for them to consume.

    I just joined your channel thanks to Michael Fish Room recommending you. You are very knowledgeable I raise guppies but the one LFS would not give me any credit for them and the other one they are just starting out and I just give him my excessive guppies. I know he is struggling for now so I don't have the heart to ask him for compensation. He especially likes my endler/guppy crosses

    You can also make a lid with holes and baskets in it, then grow hydroponic leafy greens on the top with a grow light. If you have a light on 16/8 you get an enormous yield and those lettuce leaves, basil, cilantro and bok Choy will be feeding on the nitrogen from fish excretions, which means they will clean your tank and regulate the water quality for you.
