I agree that pet stores are far better off buying locally because GENERALLY us smaller breeders have far far healthier fish than huge wholesalers. I recently did a video about breeding electric blue Acaras. When I spoke to the LFS about 3 or 4 weeks after they got the fry, they said not 1 had died. That sure made me proud and happy to hear.
Our Walmart buys guppies from a local breeder and they are some nice looking fish..I got my yellow male from there and he is in a tank with all his babies..unlike many older males he still looks young..my Walmart does take care of their fish..I got the female's from Petco..I had 4 still have 2 and they are huge ..their daughters have got big already ..
@@MichaelsFishRoom yeah, I was told it was against Walmart policy. My local PetSmart will not trade you or buy fish, but after getting to know them for a long time, my local Petco will give me store credit. They just keep it off the books. when I go to buy something and use my credit I have to talk to the same person every time so he can keep track of it. Sadly we only have one true privately owned a local fish store in the vicinity.
I’ve been watching Michaels fish room for several years now and I have enjoyed interacting with him and learning from him. He’s inspired me he’s come up with some great ideas and I love all of his fish and his fish room. I look forward to his child growth and his future projects and Michael again thank you so much I love all of your sayings fry fry Friday fish you folks and Happy Sunday Funday! Lol
After a self-education project of watching a ton of videos about old school breeders over the last month, I decided that mulm is not the horrible thing I once thought.
don't feel bad I have done the VERY same thing after I got started with mine & up till THIS video, everyone was telling me it isn't possible to sell mutt guppies cause their not a TRUE strain well I think they are the BEST ones to sell cause they have more colors & there's no telling WHAT you'll come up with & FULL of' surprise's very well worth they're weight in gold.
The first time I breed Guppies I did the 3 to 1 ratio and I picked out the slimmest looking females. I figured I don't like fat chicks why would my male guppy want a fat chick him self haha
Even mutt guppies can look great... It's a pity that a lot of people think, that mutt guppies are worthless. I do breed specific strains but I also own 2 mutt tanks.
if you can't get java moss use acrylic GREEN yarn & let it lay in the bottom AFTER you boil it like 15 mins & run cold water over it & that helps it to sink.
I have seen it several times, fancy guppys giving birth wild phenotype guppys specialy mixing strains (so its more probable with the muts since they are mixed) also I have collected wild guppys and some of them look just like those, probably also yours have some endler genetics
Those smaller ones do look like wild type/common/feeder guppies. I still like them anyway. They're pretty, with the splotches of color. I kept a tank of wild type feeders for several years. It's fun to see what patterns come up. 😊
My 200 gallon tank is over done with plants , but when it was time for fish I bought 3 random pregnant girls , and 15 random fry , and then got a male and 2 females of 17 color strains and turned them loose to let guppies do what guppies do. 2 years later my tank looks like a rainbow exploded.
Your camera is super clear, brother -- What do you use? As always, thanks for all the info -- you're really helping me as I am **only** a year or so into the hobby! I was really interested in breeding Bettas, but turns out my guppies have been so much more hardy (hearty?) and prolific. Your "mutts" are quite pretty enough to share with friends or other breeders I know. And I like all the Pothos. Keep up the good work!
@@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058 hey so you commented this one year ago so I don’t know if you found out or not but I believe a female guppy can hold sperm up to 6 months
Nice video Michael, big like 👍. any tips for selling home-breed goldfish? I got a nice spawn of Blue Egg Phoenix Goldfish just hatched, any advice on how to make money out of the fries? 😊
I received a guppy fry by mistake when I ordered some crayfish. I bought 15 fry from another guy. My plan is to separate my original guppy puppy with on of the others and see what I get.
I have a question. I had a horrible dye off of my guppies. I loved my guppies and they died one after the other after the other. Over a 2 month period they would take 2 days to slowly die. No 2 guppies were dying at the same time. It was excruciating. I finally started medicating them, em erythromyin, general cure, ich ex. I watch your videos and Cory's videos. Also Levamisole. You name it, my tank had it, camallanus worms, fin rot, calamnaris, ich, bloat, wasting disease, baddeer problems, pineconing, etc. so on and so forth. After the meds my tank is super duper healthy but my guppies are kind of bland. They have unbelievable guppies at petco, but I know they're super sick and have tons of parasites. Is it a good idea to go and buy a bunch of pretty guppies from petco, medicate the hell out of them, and the ones that live, add them to my colony? If not, what do you recommend. Thank you in advance. You're one of my favorites. :) I'm a huge guppy lover.
Glad you figured out your guppy issue. It ya yo to you If you want to buy them. But knowing that you will have to medicate them and watch them may help.
Lots of different tropical fish species to keep. Some easier to breed than others. Some are more prestigious and/or rarer than others and command a higher selling price. However, push come to shove, I'll take a tank full of mutt guppies. If I could only keep one tank of fish, mutt guppies it would be. Thanks for sharing the information on breeding guppies with the UA-cam community. As always, Cheers.
Hey Michael! Great video! One question: How do you prevent inbreeding? Do you add guppy's all the time from your other tanks? How many thanks would it truely take to breed quality guppy's without inbreeding being the main source of fry? Guess this turnt into two questions.
I need help finding a fish store that would buy my guppies. Not really trying to make a profit, kind of just want to make money like you said to fund my addiction. You know any companies that buy them, store credit is fine, as I would use the money to buy a new tank set up?
Do u think you lose a lot of fry with the colony breeding? I have 4 females in a tub and one (or two) dropped about 50 fry. I was planning to leave them with the moms but then I saw the moms actively hunting the babies, so I took them out. Wondering how many would have survived if I left them, I do have a lot of plants and cover.
Great video Mike. question is how many thanks does it take to get 50 guppies per month to sell and are you selling sub-adults or fully developed adult. Thanks again
They offer both but I typically just take the store credit cause it’s approximately 40-60 bucks each time I go and only about four times a year but hey- supports my hobby lol 😂
QUESTION....... I have a tank with Tetras, Mollies and Guppies.. The ratio of male to femail Guppies is arround 1 male to 4 females... I have tried to introduce some fancy males to the tank but every time I do a female will attack it and kill it. WHY? I save the male if I catch this in action but have lost a few please help There is over a tank full of hortworth plant which is loads for fry, but no males no fry.
This makes me wonder if you actually have female guppies or female Gambusia (mosquito fish). They look very similar. Do your female guppies show any color at all or are they only plain gray? I've heard of female Gambusia killing male guppies. Where did you get your females from?
@@ReneesZooTube Thankyou for the reply. The female guppies have colour in there tail but not on there bodies. As to were I got the fish from, a small number were pruchased from a pet store, but the unknown tetras, molies, nail heads, and what I thought were all guppies were given to me with the 880 Ltr tank and all its bits and bobs. So what can I do. I dont like an agressive tank and love the look of guppies but if the boys are in danger.. Cheers
@@Pedro116092 As far as I know Gambusia don't hybridize with guppies and the females never have color. So sounds like they are likely female guppies. Are you sure it's the female guppies doing the damage? Could be the other fish. Many fish will nip at and chase fancy guppy males.
@@ReneesZooTube I am sure as I have seen it happening, the males I could rescue are now in a hospital tank and altho I have lose some I have saved some. I can give you my email and if you like once I have yours I could send you a photo of one of the femails. The definatly have colour in there tail mostly yellow and on there bodies they have a black spot. Anyway thanks for responding cheers again
For $5 he'll even throw in free fish poop for whole bottom of the bag. Don't believe me, order from his trash fish room or take a look at the about section on his page where multiple customers complain of dead fish shipped.
“Mutt vigor” is quite a myth. Especially with dogs. Combining breeds or types who have their own health and behavioral problems creates an animal now prone to the combination of those problems. You have a German Shepherd prone to hip dysplasia and a golden prone to some form of cancer, you now have a dog prone to both of those. Sure adding to a gene pool can give certain animals more vigor but only if the ones free of issues are bred. Otherwise you still have those issues and more. Not trying to cause an argument or anything just saying. 😁
ShelbyRae Lane Also they’re generally the opposite of balanced mentally. Taking two completely different breeds who have different behaviors and genetics creates a genetic and mental mess. Sure not all are that way. But mutts are generally the opposite of healthier and mentally stable.
@@arianaevans4318 I definitely agree, as a former professional dog trainer and former veterinary technician. Hybrid vigor of dog mutts is a total myth and fallacy. And depending on the breeds involved I've seen some really messed up behavior too. Healthy parents usually produce healthy offspring. Unhealthy parents often produce unhealthy offspring, whether purebred or mutt.
@@ReneesZooTube Exactly! I train dogs and am studying for veterinary sciences and zoology. I also breed and show rabbits and the same rules apply. That's why I always recommend people buy a dog from a reputable breeder who health tests and has titles in sports instead of adopting a shelter dog. Buying a dog from a good breeder can almost 100% guarantee a healthy and level-headed animal. Most shelter mutts are genetic messes.
What about selling to Petco or Petsmart? Or are you talking more like local fisheries? (You've probably answered this a thousand times I am sorry, but google no helpy)
@@MichaelsFishRoom Hmm... I am in Plano Tx and it doesn't looks like I even have any freshwater stores. All custom saltwater aquarium building services for rich people. Kinda strange such a largely populated area wouldn't have any fish stores other than crappymarts. Guess I'll have to make a website. What kind of marketing did you do to popularize yours? I understand if you don't want to give that info away.
@@will_of_europa Most of mom and pop stores got pushed out by the bigger stores. Plano area used to have a few places to shop for reasonably priced healthy fish. I live in Portland, TX now and they have zip aquarium stores around here. Corpus Christi the next biggest town have very few. Check out the green sheets or Graigs list.
Bad info, dude, Pure bred dog does not mean well bred. A well bred German Shepherd has GENERATIONS of being bred to NOT have hip dysplasia. Responsible breeders have taken the time to have their dogs hips Xrayed and scored and they do not breed dogs with poor or failing scores. This greatly decreases the chances of one of their puppies developing hip dysplasia. Meanwhile, someone can have a labradoodle and that puppy can be crippled with hip dysplasia by a year because the breeder did NOT OFA the parents and because the parents are from generations of dogs that themselves were not hip checked. In fact, there are many genetic diseases that are more common in the mongrel dog, because of the lack of testing for disease and breeding away from those that are affected or carriers of those diseases by ignorant, uninformed people who believe that just because a dog is a mutt, it is automatically healthy. I will say it again, pure bred dog NOT mean well bred. And well bred does NOT mean pure bred. At the very least, anyone breeding any dogs of any kind (pure or mixed), needs to have a genetic disease screening to insure that they are not breeding two dogs together that carry the same genetic disease.

At the very least, anyone breeding any dogs of any kind (pure or mixed), needs to have a genetic disease screening to insure that they are not breeding two dogs together that carry the same genetic disease.
Well said.
Petco sells the fancy guppies at 10 dollars
So should I raise my price?
I mean compared to the ones they have yours are better in my opinion but they sell the mosaic Dumbo guppies
The ones I'm getting are better too, I have to make a setup first, I'm moving out that's why I haven't done so
FugitivePeanut Productions still garbage from petco.
But the reason is because they have long fins and they're considered fancy guppies
