    Loved this! I know it's from 5 yrs ago but you answered the questions I had about guppy breeding strains etc. I'm most interested in breeding fancy guppies... among other things 😉
    I'm inhaling all the info I can on small, like 2-tank breeding operations with guppies and basically whatever will go with guppies. Including plants. I'm lining things up slowly. Very slowly. I'm trying to be patient and not spend much money because my husband is already not thrilled with having TWO tanks 😅😅😅🤷‍♀️😊 so I'm gonna make the most of it.
    I'm running 2 Aquarium co-op filters in a 50-gallon with a bunch of cories and guppies and a pleco, a bunch of annubias, buce, swords, crypts, java windelov, java moss, jungle val... all slowly growing in, as well as a synodontis that will be moving soon lol. Love it, but it's eating my fry 😋
    My other is a 29g planted with hairgrass, water sprite (?), java moss, and windelov and a nice cave. I have wood and rock and sand in both tanks. I can't decide what I want to do in the 29g. I can't decide if I'm going to move the guppies to the 29g. Lmao 😅
    Forgive me. I digress. 😅
    Carry on! While I go inhale more content!!!

      Lol. How did you convince your hubs of a second tank? I had to argue long and hard why I needed a 10 gallon just for quarantine and I think he'd kill me if I just kept it set up on the breakfast bar. Lol. I've been trying to convince him to let me get fish for years and he finally caved. Lol.

      Like ShortNAnxious said, I don't typically kill my guppies, I remove them from the group and keep them with say turtles, or even just another aquarium depending on what was wrong with them.

  • @RyoWatanabee
    @RyoWatanabee 7 років тому +3

    Great video Cory. I really am enjoying your guppy videos. I've kept many different fish in the past but I've just recently gotten into guppies because they are really fun to watch and breed. My main focus is on the albino koi guppy strain and I'm trying to fill my approximately 140gallon tank with them. Started of with 5 females and 5 males. It'll take some time to fill the tank up but I just got a female that gave birth to 20 fry so I'm looking forward to it.
    Keep up the great work!

      To be fair, most of my culls live out their lives with the turtles. I keep the turtles well fed enough that they are too lazy to hunt really. At least the mini musks. The larger turtles for sure will eat stuff.

I just got extra fancy Guppies, whatever that means and because I could I went with these gorgeous yellow fish. They are happy go lucky Guppies, like my dog who I call the High Speed Optomist. Jazz loves to come check them out, so do I LOL.
    All of this stuff that is trying to kill me, is getting put in the back seat and for the first time in two years, I feel optimistic.
