    You're pretty cool. Mine breed in 8.2. I have to keep it like that with baking soda to get some KH because my tapwater is no different than RO.

    • @teddybonkers3580
      @teddybonkers3580 6 років тому

      Michael's Fish Room yep in 44 gal brute trash bins, my water change reservoirs. I have to add baking soda, calcium chloride and Epsom salts then I have to use dry ferts. It sucks having such pure water. I used to just use my tapwater plain when I started out and my fish were always sick or died, guppies didn't reproduce or had small batches of fry that usually didn't survive, shrimp wouldn't grow/die when they attempt to moult, snails shells disintegrated into nothing and plants simply did not grow. Now, everything's fine the way I do it pre-mixing for more proper water chemistry and going how one would expect.

    I have a question about those wire racks behind you at the beginning: I bought a set very similar to that for a 20 and a 10, but then I saw a video at Creative Pet Keeping in which the corner support on one shelf failed, and she suddenly had a 20-long at about a 20 degree angle. Kind of gave me pause. You put a lot of tanks on yours: have you ever had any problems with the racks?

    • @MichaelsFishRoom
      @MichaelsFishRoom  6 років тому +1

      For almost a year I had 3 10G )Less than 300 lbs) ( per shelf and one 20g per shelf (top one) I think the box said they can hold 800 lbs. I never had an issue.
      The same types of racks are used commercially and I have used them before. The only time i saw a "bracket" fail was installation error. Not saying it couldn't happen........

    Hello Michael, i have a question for a master breeder like you. Guppies as they get older they tent to slow down fry production. At what age do you stop using the females for production and replace them?

      It depends on so many factors, but for sure by 2 years.

    My guppies breed in 8.0 PH but they're also in a saltwater pond so I have to keep my ph on the high side. I noticed in saltwater they have on average 50-60 fry rather than the 30ish in freshwater.
