    Guppie breader here, and You probably already know this, but the male is actually trying to encourage her to give birth so he can eat the live young, he does this by prodding her underneath, she is clearly very much already pregnant for sure, I would suggest moving her into a birthing box but that defeats the point of your experiment, but for anyone watching with guppies at home then I'd definitely recommend a birthing box for the little ones , watching guppies give birth is amazing to watch no matter how many times I see it it still amazes me

      Baby Guppies also do well if you can give them lots of places to hide from the adults and predators. My Brother used to use adult guppies as feeders for his Oscar. i kind of made him put in hides and lots of plants for them and our population exploded after Oscar passed we where giving them away we had so many

      I thought the same thing. She's very pregnant and he wants her to give birth. Not only for food but to also breed again. Like Dan said, I don't think he knows this. I use to breed not only guppies but also swordtails, mollies and platies. It was amazing watching all of them give birth. I used birthing boxes for most of them, especially when breeding for certain colors and/or patterns.

    4:48 these are called bladder snails and most people veiw them as pests because of how fast they reproduce. They are really cool and are some of my favorite creatures. I used to collect them at the lake I grew up by and put them in plastic containers to watch them mate and eat. Their eggs are like little droplets of jelly and can hatch hundreds of babies! They are called bladder snails because they have an air pocket in their shell that allows them to control their buoyancy and float up or sink. I used to have them in my fish tank and it’s so cool to watch them fly through the water to get to the surface. In a fish tank where the water is relatively calm, they can crawl upside down on the surface of the water just using the surface tension. Definitely an underrated species!

      I think so too. I was contemplating sending it to our local school system with attention science and biology departments on it. Haha! I have a special needs daughter that already graduated and needs more fun learning things on the regular too. This is perfect for her and she’s afraid to death of bugs. Lately though after seeing them close up and with antscanada giving them cute names and showing how they benefit buggy society as well as all life around us I’ve noticed she is far more open to bugs she comes across rather than just immediately running in fear now.

We have weevil statues outside the businesses (look up Stan Mcweevil for an example, it's hilarious), the roads and businesses are weevil themed, and there's a statue in the middle of the square downtown dedicated to weevils. Y'know, in case you needed more reasons to appreciate them!

Made me think of butterfly and moth wing dust. But zoomed in crazy close that dust resembles beautiful multitudes of iridescent scales kinda.

    Wow, great video! The small aquatic insects are actually ostracods, which are aquatic crustaceans. Their bodies are found inside their round shells, which are made up of two equally sized halves. Ostracods are really common in bodies of water, and as some of their predators do include fish, it's probably reasonable to assume that their number has gone up due to the die-out of guppies, thus less predation.

    This type of vivarium owning is on my bucket list and so solid to see you have grown from flooding fire ant enclosures to...this! If/when you add another tank, I suggest that it be a mostly blank slate holding only soil and another tree stump for the other terrariums to expand into.
