Hello! Did you know I recently released a 97-page book titled The Neocaridina Shrimp Handbook? It covers everything new and experienced hobbyists alike need to know about Neocaridina Shrimp, including Red Cherry Shrimp. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Check it out here 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 fishkeepinganswers.com/neocaridina_shrimp_handbook/
its also in the nature of guppys to swim at the surface to be first for food, sometimes its just normal behaviour. i can quickly tell apart guppy babies from other livebearers because they swim at the surface
Thanks for the information. What if gasping a disease? 1 (Is it an internal or external disease? 2) And if so, what is the treatment? thanks in advance
I have a sponge filter that, including the straw at the top, is probably too tall for the tank I have. I've rigged it so that the air pump's flow is split between the filter and another air stone, and some of my new fish have started exploring the floor! Not the most elegant solution, but it'll do for now :)
I have almost all live plants like guppy grass and some others (I have a few fake ones also) and my filter creates surface movement and bubbles underneath the surface. I don’t think my guppies are gasping but it’s kinda hard to tell sometimes because being at the surface is usually normal guppy behavior. Do u think they’ll be ok??
Sir please help me my one black mossaic guppy is like straight I mean his mouth is upwards and his body like total vertical still it was alive and moving his fins but at one position but all othe guppies in my planted aquarium are good and my tank water is also good and well maintained and even all of recent hatched fries are also good in the tank but I'm worried for that one fish😓😓 please if you may help with this
I don't think it's just low air or high waste, i have a deep substrate natural aquarium and twin air pumps going... Only the guppies stay near the surface, the tetras, barbs, cory cat, and even the frog all swim like normal. Mine tend to sit closest to the light in the area with the least amount of flow, so i'm thinking it's one of 3 things... 1- they're waiting for food to drop in 2- they need warmer water 3- they need calmer waters
My guppy has just been sitting quietly near the top of the water not at the surface and being very still and just vibing, it’s a female and is thier something wrong they have plenty air space, and they have a air stone as well iam just worried she isn’t well but can’t see any signs of issues on her or with the water
i have a planted aquariaum and a air/bubble bomb ( conected to a vulcan) i see not all of them but 1 or 2 in the surface (i have a good ammount of surfice plants). And i have a guppy male in the bottom allways laying there and only swim to eat, i put him in a quarantine aquariaum and see if he gets better, his colors look good but he allways laying in the bottom (white guppy with orange tail)
I need help!! I have a guppie and one african drawf frog. Had 2 guppies, but now one died. My 5 gallon tank has done the cycle for about a month before adding fish and added quick start for added bacteria, the frog is doing great, but my fish not so much. Constantly swimming at top. I've watched your video, and added an air stone, ammonia levels are good (I have the api tester kit) have done a water change, water is conditioned tap water and temp is at 75, and still no change in behavior. I have a few fake plants and ornaments in there and ample circulation. I don't know what to do. The little guy is probably not gonna make it. Maybe its just a crappy filtration system on my tank (pondon). No clue, any help would be appreciated!!
Goppy goes to top of water after eating for about an hour like hes gasping for air, but the water is good. Why is he only doing it after he eats for about an hour? After that, it's normal back in bottom of the tank and in the middle. Like a nice, healthy Fish.
But why only guppies? I have 600 liter per hour falling from 10 cm away of water surface constantly. I have neon tetras rummy nose otocinclus goramies but only guppies. All the rest of fish are in the middle but mostly near the bottom of the tank.
I brought 4 guppies from my friend house. Then i put them in a tank with my other fishes they are swimming nicely but these 4 always on the top its second day they are in my tank but i think its not good.....what will be i do plssss sir help me😔😔😔😔
Mine are new too, I have 2 oxygen stones one at each end. I think they are scared of the other community fish. My neons are good swimming all around. One female larger guppy is comfortable across the tank. The smaller guppies are getting attention from my angel fish who are not so friendly. I think they are attracted to their tails. I do water changes once a week. I also test. At night I place the guppies in a small breeder tank in the main aquarium tank just so they are safe from predatory behaviour.
Got guppies at top of tank near the bubbles forming from the sponge filter. But weird thing is nitrates/nitrite levels are great and no ammonia. Also have sponge filter, air stone in a bubbler decor a few plants and a hob filter. So should be plenty of oxygen. Can’t figure out what’s going on.

Thank you so much. When I changed the flow of the filter the fish improved dramatically 😊
👍🏻
Woah you make videos almost daily great motivation!
😂. New channel, trying to build momentum 🤞🏻
Thank you! I changed the flow and instantly- they came down! ❤
That’s great news 👍🏻
its also in the nature of guppys to swim at the surface to be first for food, sometimes its just normal behaviour. i can quickly tell apart guppy babies from other livebearers because they swim at the surface
thank you for this. Greetings from Philippines
Ur a life saver! Thank u!
Question : is a fountain filter too powerful for 1 foot guppy tank and would it also serve as air pump?
Thank you for this. Subscribed. Regards from Portugal.
Hey, welcome to the team 💪🏻
I just upped the aerator in my tank thank you
Hey, hope it helps 🤞🏻

Sounds like a good setup 👍🏻
Very informative. Thank you
You’re very welcome. I’m pleased to hear people are finding the information useful.

I might try goldfish with guppies or platies.

Hey I got a question. does a live plant help give off oxygen if it’s submerged underwater or floating on top?
In my experience, plants that are submerged will release more oxygen into the water than plants that are floating on the surface 👍🏻
Super
👍🏻

guppies might be more sensitive
Low air
I brought 4 guppies from my friend house. Then i put them in a tank with my other fishes they are swimming nicely but these 4 always on the top its second day they are in my tank but i think its not good.....what will be i do plssss sir help me😔😔😔😔

I accidentally overdosed my tank on prime after doing a very rare 60% water change, panic stations before I realised that was the problem
😕
Wierd I have hob filter and large sponge air pump

Red spot is a big problem for guppies because they are so colourful can’t see it
