Breeding Feeder Guppies for Turtles: Everything You Need To Know

- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- I've been breeding feeder guppies and fancy guppies to feed my turtles and African clawed frogs for at least 8 years. When I wanted to learn how to breed guppies, I found that the herpetology community (reptile and amphibian keepers) often didn't have the info I needed. So I started learning from the aquarium folks and the "breed guppies for profit" folks. I've been learning best practices for breeding guppies from the guppie folks for a while and I figured it'd be helpful to condense it all down into one video for my herp friends. I hope you enjoy!

building my first turtle tank, this video is so good it makes me want to get a lil 10gal guppy/shrimp/snail farm going first, gonna get a couple stinkpots!
I have a Northern Pike and a Rock Bass and a Channnel Catfish in a 150 gallon. I want to breed guppies or something to feed my predator fish. I have videos of them on my channel. I feed them mealworms from Amazon currently
Right on man I love breeding guppies inside my turtle tank. They help clean my tank and really add color to the tank. I also mix in a few fancy guppies to my endless. Super hardy fish and always breeding. Have you tried mixing guppies and plaudies? I haven’t yet but I’m thinking of it.
Guppies and plates are from different families they cant breed
Sweet video man! Lol I’m pretty sure holding the container higher would give it a stronger and fast poor though, not a weaker one😂
Try it and see lol. The higher you go the less deep it penetrates into the water column.
Great video!! So my guppies are successfully breeding IN my 20 gallon long with my musk turtle and my african clawed frog 😳 i found your video because i was trying to figure out if they'll actually eat the fish lol i guess the guppies are getting a good head start while my musk turtle and frog are still small? Lol the last litter(?) Had a 50% survival rate so im getting a little concerned about overpopulating the tank
They should be picking them off pretty good. What kind of frog?
@@ParkersSwamp African clawed frog
I am going to use a 29gal aquarium I have for this purpose. I have not had success with breeding minnows for my alligator and common snapping turtles. Guppies seem easier.
Definitely some sort of livebearer is gonna be easiest. Guppies or platies
@@ParkersSwamp Thank you. I’m also going to be getting a minnow trap and see about some fresh caught minnows and fry
book man is also frog man?
😅
Would talapia be harmful for turtles to eat
Nope, and they love it!
