Thanks bro. 😊
Thank you for taking the time to do these vids they are really helpful.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the good info!!
Thanks for watching!
Loved it Mike 👍
Thanks BFL!
Thanks for another great video 👍
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.
SUPER! thanks for doing this...snacking on clementines and grapes while watching my Guppies and you :-)
So healthy! But no beverage?
Great video! Love the Colbolt guppy food use it all the time 😊 Snack is mini sweet peppers stuffed with cream cheese wrapped in bacon to a crispy yumminess!
😆OMG!
Ha ha ha very funny
Leftover chicken enchiladas from the Super Bowl. Great tips on Guppies. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
We had no leftover wings or roast beast!
Thank for watching!
Hey mike! Been watching for a month now! Love the content! Gotmyself a cup of coffee and a nice bowl of greenery.
Greenery? 🤦🏻♂️
Great video
Thanks!
Great video, just some info from what I have learnt over the years. The imported guppies are raised and bred in brackish water glad you breeding local. I use a 1 1 part of each of the the following calcium sulfate, potassiam sulfate,magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate and 2 parts of aquarium salt. Chocolate milkshake, 40 °c where I stay in South Africa today
Thats hot!
Enjoy your milkshake and thanks for the comment!
Love your videos
Thanks! What is your favorite?
Amen if it works for you then it's the right way. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Great video and keep up the great work.
Thanks Gary! And thanks for watching!
Great info
Thanks!
Another guy that makes me feel awesome just like Cory and Irene.
You're welcome?
Wow I didn't pay attention to when you posted a guppy video was coming out lol I feel dumb. One day ago I thought you announced it, but it was a week ago. Good video brother, thanks for sharing!
Lol...thank for watching!
Guppies they are amazing man
Yup!
I checked out your site your guppies look great and your pricing is the most reasonable I’ve seen I’ll be placing a order in April for 3 trios 🤩 hopefully my 29g tank will be cycled by then
Great!
Anther great video.
Yea I'll try those tips and get back to you on if it worked for me
Cool!
I got 3 of those Hikari! I love it!
So good right?
@@MichaelsFishRoom They wont stop eating...1 guppy is like 2 lbs...
I completely agree with and do everything you said. The one other thing I do that I feel is important is the fry and the adults get live baby brine shrimp every day. Thanks!
That’s a great thing too!
Add half a b vitamin tablet in your brine shrimp to fortify the feed to prevent split tails and improve fin development!
The Chubby Guppy boom! Great idea!
Snack: Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Beverage: water
Thank you for this video!!! Great information
My youngest son’s favorite ice cream!
My favorite beverage!
11:14 - 11:20 I died here 😂💀 thanks for the tips Michael! very informative video indeed.
Glad you liked it!
Right on’
Yeah man!
I agree with various food for them but I just realised about the strain's strength ... I have two strain, albino full red & albino platinum that *always sick after they mature* (6 month old) maybe i need to crossbreed them with the stronger strain... Thanks for the tips 👌
I find albinos are weak no matter what you do.
Venison meat stick, fresh cheese curds (straight from the creamery today) and beer. 💪
I gotta try that cheese curd stuff!
Great tips, I use salt and higher temps with new fish. I also use a wormer we have here in Australia which is a mix of prazaquantal and levamasol to deworm them as guppies nearly always come with worms unless they are from someone who regularly worms their fish.
I feed a mix of high protein pellets, flake, diy gel food full of fresh quality ingredients, microworms. Im about to start breeding brine shrimp in a tub which once its established I will feed that daily or every other day too. Variety is always a good thing.
Sound good!
That wiener sounds like a great thing....what’s is called?
I'd like to hear more about your diy gel food please 😉
@@MichaelsFishRoom its just called discus wormer, sold by gold coast discus. I think they only sell locally in Australia but they may ship os.
@@carolinagrammy2735 I just use whatever veg I have on hand which is usually alot of shelled green peas, zucchini, pumpkin, carrot, canned grean beans, silverbeat.
I usually make it after ive been fishing and caught a few saltwater fish like squid, tommy rough (herring) I usually fillet the fish and remove all bones.
I also add Spirulina, paprika, ground up cuttlefish bones to the mix.
Blend it all in the food processor.
Then either use gelatin or agar agar, put on baking trays, lined with baking paper. In the fridge or freezer for a couple of hours then use a pizza cutter to cut into feeding portions then into zip lock bags.
Plenty of diy gel food vids on here, just watch a few and throw in whatever u want dont forget the ground cuttlefish bones or u can buy calcium powder if u dont have access to them at the beach.
Its trial and error with gelatin, too runny just throw it back in the blender then add more gelatin but I dont care if it breaks up.
I feed most of my fish and snails the same stuff its great.
Jamie m great ide!
no snack this time, but I got a hot mug of oolong tea. It's warming up here in Mass but I've come down with the flu! so I'm just in my dorm doing homework and watching fishtube
I hope that you feel better soon 😷
@@carolinagrammy2735 thank you!
How are you feeling now?
Lol “EEKY EEKY EEKY”. The facts of life with Mike!
Lol....always teaching!
Michael's Fish Room 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Poliwww machanne👍👍
Huh?
On point
Thanks!
Michael's Fish Room if you get females already pregnant from God knows who, how long should you segregate to ‘clean’ them out so you have some control of genetics?
davidz121 forever.....
Michael's Fish Room do they live that long? 😎
I’ve read female guppies can retain sperm for over 3 months; I’ve seen close to that long with my own after I separated my adult male from the females & growing out fry
I feed my guppies 3 sometimes 4 times a day, small meals consisting of flake food, live brine shrimp, blood worms and daphnia. Also the fry are fed blood worm and daphnia mixture ground up in a pepper mill. Works for me
Nice
Hi I’m new I love fish
Cool story
Michael, if you get the chance of selling a food you believe in I would definitely try it. Count me in.
Will do!
Snack: Lightly salted mixed nuts
Beverage: Dry gin martini chilled with an olive
So fancy!
(You said “nuts”)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MichaelsFishRoom I'm not gonna lie. I think my nuts are spectacular!!!
Womens drink
Paul Roberts bwhahahahhaa
Great video Mike. I start qt 1st by the temp acclamation then slowly raise temp to about 80/ 82 and slowly introduce Fritz freshwater salt 1tbl pr 3 gallion. I keep them in that for about 5 days...I do a 30% water change..wait a week do another 30%. I also feed the medicated foods from Everything Aquatic for parasites. I typically keep new fish in qt for a min of 4 weeks...have done 8 to 10 weeks on fish that shipped in sick to do 2 rounds.
Snack and beverage...waiting on dinner..chicken, and have iced tea. By the way..I do have gen cure and ickX and use it only if the salt treatment don't look to be working after a 2nd treatment. I'm cheap and salt is cheap and usually works well. :)
If it works, it’s right!
Hope you are feeling ok!
@@MichaelsFishRoom Thanks Mike. Feeling like poop..lot of pain in my hip lately...SSDI hearing next month. This A.S disease sucks for real!
@@MichaelsFishRoom Hey...I had a little breeding project I tried..I bred my red mosaic dumbo to one of my hb neon blue females ...oooh..keep an eye on my fb page. I'll get pics pics up tomorrow of the juv. fish that are starting to color up. :) Nice cross for sure.
Salt and temp is a great tool for alot of things and can be a great preventative measure!
Lisa N.J. Will do!
I use the new life spectrum GROW for my white cloud fry
Do you like it?
@@MichaelsFishRoom yeah its great 👍✌
Love to buy some
Some?
@@MichaelsFishRoom lol that fish food and the bacon shirt lol
Lady The bacon shirt you can buy at my TeeSpring store using the link in the description!
We get hikari food over here in the UK and my guppys LOVE it
What do you feed?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I feed my guppys hikari semi floating pellets mixed with tetra guppy fry granules
Cool
I buy my guppies from you trying to keep them from dying have two tank 36 gal &10 gal .going to order one next week.
You can email me if you are having issues.
With guppies I use frozen foods and pellets I also add calcium blocks as guppies can breed every 28 days they become calcium deficient keep your water a little on the hard side I have now interbred endlers and guppies to produce "gendlers" they live longer and breed a little less
Good advice!
Good Video
Thanks! Favorite part?
@@MichaelsFishRoom Having a snack while watching!
"This is what works for me" 👍🏻
Not a guppy guy but working with African Cichlids every day I like to watch some different content.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Lisa introduced me to your channel...
The Wonder of Cichlids thanks for watching! She’s pretty awesome!
I'm giving dried Tubifex to mine. Xtreme Community Crave too.
Nice!
real talk if it works don't change it 100% cheers
This is so true. I wish people understood that!
Nice job buddy! Powered by baking is the new "I'm fine" ?
Bacon old, powered by bacon.
Hi micheal I love this video very good info on it. I feed my guppies northfin flakes. I’m going to buy some pellets for them too.
Thanks!
Try the cobalt ultra guppy!
Michael's Fish Room I will micheal thanks
Daniel Gonzalez it is one of the samples I give with every order.
Michael's Fish Room awesome I try it for my frys I use fry starter from northfin
Daniel Gonzalez that’s good stuff too!
I add snowflake tears to my guppy water as a supplement. My guppys look amazing and healthy. I have found my guppies arent fussy when it comes to food. Hikari fancy guppy food, omega flakes and shrimp pellets, bug bites work great. Planted tanks work best especially for young fry.
I bet if you switch to better foods, you will see even more amazing!
do you have a video on comparing guppy breeder boxes and rank them. i am thinking about getting the penn plax guppy air hose breeder box.
Nope, I don't use them.
Who owns guppies here for REAL?
"I do"! My snack is organic baby sweet peaches and a cold water bottle.😃👍 thank you Michael for your videos. 💖🙏
I do! LOL
Thanks for watching!
We love our guppies
What kind do you have?
Michael's Fish Room mixed class D guppies with fry. Check them out
Class d guppies?
Hikari? Yes Please!
How much would you pay?
I had rabbits, chickens, ducks, pigeons, quails, partridges, lol even a baby sheep at some point etc didn't have any problems at all. Tried goldfish since I was told they aren't demanding and failed miserably 6 years back, I felt awful for killing and stopped trying aquariums. I hope I will have better luck with guppies: bought a ten gallon tank with filter, heater, light and will try plants in it. I watch these videos and they seem super helpful. Before buying the fish, any tip to make sure I will not kill them? What is the easiest hardiest fish to keep?
The key is to buy healthy fish that fit your water.
Excellent advice Michael. 👍👍👍👍
Can you clarify your quarantine method I'm a bit confused.
You start to use meds 12hours after release into tank. All 3 medication at the same time? Furan 2, hikari Ich X and General cure? Yes. Treatment as per tank volume and you feed them mixture of medicated flake food like levamisole only for 1 week. If system good you do a water change and feed regular foods non medicinal ones?
How much water you remove and do you only use sponge filtration during quarantine?
You got it down.
I just turn on the auto water change system, so about 10% daily after QT.
Sponge or box filter.
@@MichaelsFishRoom
AWESOME Sir
Thank you👍👍👍👍
I have been feeding Cobalt Ultra Pellet Guppy to my least killis and Endlers based on Michael's recommendation for guppies. They love it and are doing well. I also feed Sera Micron to fry. It smells like perfume. Am I having a stroke? Is it any good? They seem to like it.
I’m not a fan of sera, but I have not tried that one.
Why do you forget about the 56th tank with angels? You’re not only successful in breeding guppies and bn plecos but have been instrumental in breeding angels, mollies, plates, etc. Don’t sell yourself short and share all that knowledge. I realize right now it’s guppies but you are so knowledgeable in the hobby. Love ya Michael and what you are doing to help us in the hobby 🥰
Hey Florida! That tank will be in an update soon!
You talk like you have a lot of fish tanks. Lol great video.keep it up
Lol.
My large female guppies like the medium bug bites...I have to put them in tank water first to make them a little soft...they don't like the small bug bites...my big box guppies do well...they have lived a long time between 2/3 years..I have better guppies...but I've not had so much luck with them...but they have left behind some lovely fry...I just have fry everywhere so most of the local fish shops are taking them now.... I've started placing fry in 2/3g tanks just plants nothing else and to be honest they have grown bigger than the fry left in with the mother...I saw Doug does the same...and uses the same tanks...next stop will be a large tub...if I were going to breed for profit again...it would be mutt guppies...they are strong healthy large fish and the colour combinations can be beautiful...
I wasn't a fan of the bug bites......neither were my guppies 😜
I’m interested in the Hikari
Sold out, sorry.
can you use a quarintie tank as a breeder? I am trying to start my breeding for profit project, and I dont have a quarantine tank now
On your auto water change system do you have special filters to take the chlorine out or do you dose Prime or any other solutions for the chlorine I'm about to do a auto water change system in I would like to know that before I do that
I have a carbon filter and sediment filter. Search the channel for “auto water change” I have videos about it.
youre not grumpy nowadays , awesome
When was I grumpy?
Am enjoying my favorite beverage snack combo. A Coke and Algae Wafers.
11:17 *subscribes*
Thanks and welcome!
Michael, I am interested in the guppy food from Japan.
Since Covid, I have not been able to get it :(
I'll buy some.
Japanese food?
@@MichaelsFishRoom yes
Scott great! What would you pay for that can?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I don't have a clue. 50 grams?
4th just got out of school and 1 minutes late
LOL....I excuse you!
Michael's Fish Room ok
Alright
Just one?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Must be an off day for FISHioN TaNkTiCS
Sean Meister lol
I want some of that HIKARI!
Me too!!
How much would you pay for that can?
How much would you pay for that can?
I dunno, how much are you thinking?
ER Aquatics I have to see what the final cost is when I get them.
Cherry limeade and an apple.
Is letting them fight good for them? I’ve got one that likes to fight and I just sort of let them, but they don’t tear up the fins too bad.
That is a weird combo.....
Depends on why they are fighting.
I try to stem the aggression though, don't what them getting jacked up.
Michael's Fish Room They’ve been in there for over a year doing it so if it’s bad they’ll probably die of old age soon anyway. ;)
I would buy some fo sho
For how much?
I use spectrum as well I like it a lot. Me and my cousin breed guppies for Oscars and other fish.
Cool! Thanks for watching!
Hi my name is Kevin, I live in Yorkshire in the UK, I like your channel a lot, my question is, is your content any use to me here over in England, I love guppies a lot, I keep hearing all you need is a couple of male guppies and 3 or for 4 female guppies and off you go and you get loads of fry, what ever I do I don't get any babies, where am I going wrong ? any tips for me please. Thank you so much.
So "is your content any use to me"....If you enjoy it, then yes. As far as what you are doing wrong, it could be 100 different things, not all your fault. I would need all the details to try help. The most import thing is good quality stock and good water parameters.
Michael I would like to buy that Japanese fish food. It looks like my guppies will like it.
Do you like the Hikari fancy guppy food?
Hi Pedro-I will put you on the list for the food.
I think there are much better guppy foods than the fancy guppy.
Is that food good for like a African dwarf frog and a mystery snail cuz I have that inside my tank too
Yes, is is ok for both.
Hi. How do you keep your aquarium water hard for the guppies?
What is your hardness now?
Faygo rock n rye soda and popcorn
What you call me?
Micheal: I have a question for ya but I need to hit you on face book about it cause
MAYBE you can help me understand what I'm doing wrong here & it relates to this video.
Email me.
I'm starting a 10g guppy tank. Do I have to have a sponge filter? I have a AquaClear 30 HOB filter, and a small powerhead in the tank.
You can use any filter you want.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Thanks. Didn't know if I needed a sponge in addition to my HOB; as you said Guppies like the sponges....sounds like I'm good. Love your channel!
Hi Michael not sure if you can help me out I can’t post a picture on this but but av recently woke up fry in my tank am not to sure who they belong to I have swordtails and guppy’s the fry are more of an orange with silver/black ayes but none of my swordtails look pregnant, but to of my female guppy’s look big well one of them are really squared off at the bottom do you think one has gave birth and the other is going to go soon do fry guppy’s look bright orange it’s been a week Though and 15 really healthy fry are still going just not sure if if the other 2 females are pregnant as well ?
I have no idea. Please use punctuation next time.
Blue cheese and garlic stuffed olives & iced tea with lemon.
Sounds too fancy.
Sadly i have soft water. I am setting up a 20 gallon and am planning on using crushed coral which should ammend the water to the levels i need for guppies. am i right in this or am i over looking something
Crushed coral works great. I use 1 pound for every 10 gallons and change it every 6 months or so.
That's what I use as well. I have a well that comes from our rivers spring that runs in the ground under my property. I absolutely LOVE it and don't mind the adjustment for a higher pH.
Good Luck! Like Cindy said, that is the "recipe" I would use if I didn't have hard water.
My tap water comes out as: TDS = 96, GH = 0, KH = 0, pH = 6.8 and I am having no problems breeding and raising fancy guppies. Oh, and I keep the temp at 76F and run sponge filters. Water changes are 25% every 3 days so my nitrates stay around 10. I originally added minerals to raise the GH = 5 & KH = 4, but then experimented with 2 tanks (adults & fry) and found I didn't need to add the minerals. But adding crushed coral won't hurt!
That’s great!
Just my opinion but I feel it's best to not use any sort of antibiotics if the fishes aren't showing any symptoms in quarantine. If there's an issue then you should of course go ahead with it once you're pretty certain of the diagnosis but if not it's better not to. I really respect that you're doing your best to ensure you don't sell sick fish though!
Fair enough.
Can you please Reenact that fishy doin the bumpin uglies hand signal again... That was priceless... 🥴😜🤣 LMMFAO 😂 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣
Lol....yeah it was.
👉+👌+ 👉+👌=🐟🐡🐠🐟
peanuts .vodka cranberry juice ...mmmmmm.
Nice,!
Snack: guppy fry (a wise man once told me they are “tender and delicious”).
This is true. But what about a beverage?
Michael's Fish Room a nice glass of well aged tank water pairs nicely with guppy fry.
Brent Duganiero this
Is also true.
Do you advocate consuming cute little gumpies?
Just got two females(I'm getting a few more soon, I'm just broke atm) and one is really skinny, while the other is kinda long and has a little bit of a curve, and her tail is shredded
Trying to figure out how I can help them
Did you QT them or treat them?
Started to watch waiting for my sister to come out of her work and she came out half way through (dam ) stop drive her home now finally get to finish. Spicy chicken and Diet Coke.
Spicy chicken? From Wendy’s?
Michael's Fish Room yup,the silver pack or fish food with wormer do you use on your Pleco’s?
John Wood everything aquatic
Drink : Dunkin Ice Coffee Snack: Chocolate chip muffin
Nice!
all the successful comments. I must be mentally challenged. I am starting off as beginner... will go to store today and grab some supplies. I lost six in 2 days. I never even checked the pH. My UFC to the death guppy cage match has got to end. I bought one yesterday that dropped a bomb.. first poop. killed the others in hours. He is now n a stupor.. looking at me...all by himself.
Just a tip, if you by crap stock, you well get crap results.
"Male guppies are horny little bastards" 11/10 A+
Great video, new subscriber. :- ) I've been new to the hobby and am trying to raise some blue grass guppies I got from a breeder in Thailand. Crossing fingers all goes well.
Welcome and thanks for subscribing. I can tell you will like my content because you are not a snowflake!
Good luck with the imports, make sure your water is hard and always treat for internal parasites.
If you are in the US, I have a website where I sell my guppies and plecos. check it out, www.michaelsfishroom.com
Were you able to get this food available for us to purchase?
What food?
So you put Everything together in the Quentin Tank at the same Time?
Yup
Try Otohimi B2 of Japan and APK of Taiwan
I’ll check it out next time I am in Japan.
@@MichaelsFishRoom You can order it online. Happy guppy keeping!
What causes wasting disease and what do you do about it? Also where do you get that medicated fish food?
Wasting disease is a "catch all term" it is not something specific. You need to find the cause, most likely internal parasites. I use Fritze Expel P from www.KJEaquatics.com
My guppies only eat pallets, they spit out the flakes...
Got Hikari Fancy Guppy micro pallets, tetra guppy flakes & cichlid shrimp sticks.
Give them daily the micro pallets and twice a week grinded up cichlid shrimp sticks.
Tetra makes guppy flakes?
@@MichaelsFishRoom www.tetra.net/nl-nl/producten/tetra-guppy-colour-mini-flakes
They don't sell that in the US. :(
Michael, which medicated food are you using? I checked at Everything Aquatic and there's a big list. Is it Praziquantel or Fenbendazole?
Fenbendozole or Levamisole.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Thank you, I take it either one is good.
@@James_Hande They work in different ways. I think Fenbendozole does a better job.
@@MichaelsFishRoom Thank you!
I GOT ENDLERS!! Are pellets/flakes absolutely necessary.? I feed A variety of frozen foods, I also use repashy and they nibble on it, is that sufficient ? BLOOPERS KILL ME🤪😘🤣
Nope, sounds like you got the food covered.
i use hikary fancy guppy food
Not a fan.
bro this man did not just call me a fishy folk lmaoooo
Bro, he sure did.
I am interested in the hikari
How much would pay for the can?
Put all three meds in at same time? Or do I space it out any?
All at once.
@@MichaelsFishRoom ok cool, thank you!
