Hopefully a more in depth look at guppies and how to look after them and some common issues people run into them. Don't forget to like and subscribe. duthieaquatics.com.au @duthieaquatics
Just subscribed. Great episode. As you said on this video, “some of you may be on your way to having many tanks”. That’s me! In just a month I’m up to 9 tanks. Granted I used to breed angelfish a while back so I have all the equipment. I pulled it out of storage and now I have several tanks going with fancy guppies breeding and a mutt tank as well. Thank you for your channel. 👌🏼
I had a 90 gallon corner tank years ago that had so many guppies in it. My exes mom kept buying more and more guppies cause theyre so pretty but she forgot how much they breed too! Great video!
I have been feeding Xtreme krill flake. The guppies and fry are really doing good. I have been mixing in micro pellets ,sinking algae wafers, tubliflex worms. Plants and water changes have kept the water good.
Thank you! Noticed the learned behavior as well. Also, the endlers outbreed the fancies. The males tend to leave the fancy (especially albino) females alone
Thank you. I just started an aquarium and have wild type guppies to start it up. Totally enjoyed your video. Would love to feed frozen food but worried about contamination.
3:34 that is why I hate guppies and I regret adding them to my tank. I don't have many tanks, so I let them colony breed, and that lead me to having to call many crooked spines ones. We keep using fancy words like calling or euthanasia, but in the end we just kill fish, and I really hate that. Normally, I would catch all males and females and sell them at a local store, but that would still leave me with about 100 fry, that shops would not take. Plus, my tank is heavily planted, so catching them is no easy feat.😐
I usually give the defects to people as feeders because they know they are sick or riddled with parasites just deformed, sometimes they end up getting along with the predators and become more of a dither fish. I will probably just cross these ones out with the tuxedo koi’s because they have dominate genes and will help both lines
@@duthieaquaticsMy guppy "adventure" started with a single pair of black moscow that I bought last year (the seller only have the pair). The fryes keept growing and breeding, first 3-4 generations were fine. After, I added fresh blood (the most generic guppies I could find) to fight inbreeding, lost the line and still had deformed offsprings. ☹I find it so annoying that with guppies you need lots and lots of tanks to keep separating the breeding pairs. Is even more annoying, because with other species, like platy, they colony breed just fine, the frys are genetic clones of the parents, so no worry that you may lose the "line", and the procentage of defective offsprings is really low (at least from what I've seen).🧐
Great video! Glad to chance upon it. Biggest take away, slow and steady, don’t change too many things at once. Thank you for this video By the way, mind if I ask what is the smallest tank size in litres you got?
Wish I had seen this before. We lost quite a lot of guppies because of parasites. I had casualties everyday for a month now. Also Im from sri lanka and usually we find endler guppies in natural streams as well as in sewers 😂 so I think they are pretty hardy .

@@naturenel no problem at all glad you enjoyed it
I love guppies! Thanks for a lot of important information🐠👍❤
You’re welcome I am doing another one on breeding guppies but it’s taking longer than I expected

Xtreme krill flakes are very well regarded fish food.
Thank you!

Wild type endlers/guppies have dominant genes as well.
Beautiful and beautiful very beautiful colors
Thank you

If it’s commercially frozen stuff it should be fine otherwise you can hatch baby brine shrimp and freeze your own food

Very nice fish room, sub for you,hello welcome to yt👌👌👌
Thank you

Smallest tanks are 20L great for breeding and quarantine purposes
Cool! Love the setup once again. Looking forward to more videos
Awesome, mate!
Thank you

Definitely very hardy fish, some of the best fish keepers I know are Sri Lankan.
