  • It's been awhile since I did an update on my backyard guppy farm, so here's a look. A lot of changes have taken place and a lot more guppies too.
    Thanks to Cory of Aquarium Co-op for gifting me the Linear Piston Air pump which drives the entire new setup. If you're interested, here where you can get if from: www.aquariumcoop.com/collecti...
    If you like that squeeze bottle in the end, find it here: amzn.to/31rLRma

      Are you inclined to do selective breeding? Otherwise, just clean water and good feeding. If you are open to selective breeding, then select the females with black pectoral fins, and both sexes that have halfmoon tails.

      @@HCAqua illinois and it is mainly because of the shade where I live if I had more sun I could probably do it for much longer and it can be so crazy weather wise in theory with sun June July and August could work but night temps occasionally get really cold even in June and I would have to cover my tanks and things are now starting to get risky for guppies so it is more like a month and a half part of it also the really cold rain and hail even in mid summer that makes it a nightmare even for my native fish tank. I am setting up a thousand gallon pond that I am hoping is big enough that it will hold it's temps steady enough that I will be able to keep them from June to the end of August next year. Also since you grow taro I was wondering can it be grown indoors out of water like a normal house plant because I want some but would have to take it in in the winter.

    All of your guppies are so beautiful Jesse, the quality is amazing. I have really only started getting into wanting to know about the different strains of guppies recently. I have always kept bettas. There's is so much to learn and I want to know more😁 Huy Nguyen sent me two pairs of albino Platinum guppies that are very nice, good clean lines blue iridescent fiinage, tails and long dorsals. I lost one female and I am just now getting fry from the other one (not the easiest guppies to breed or at least not for me 😂) Then I got a trio of gold Galaxy from Lucas, they were young and turns out they are all males ..so I have five male guppies, one Platinum female and one mutt female from Michaels fishroom. Not a good start 😂 but these males I have are truly beautiful I don't mind creating my own strain with them if I could get some females or some recommendations to breed them to...🤔
    Thanks for sharing and for the tour. I hope you have a wonderful day!

    • @HCAqua

    Your guppies are incredibly gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to get some of those duMbo red mosaics, though there’s something I’ve been wandering. Besides you I also watch Hawaii hobbyist and kaimuki backyard and they both seem to only feed tetra flakes and their guppies seem to grow so well. I see that you feed bbs which is good for fries so I’m just wandering if you get any different outcomes?
    I also remember you used to feed daphnia. How was the results? Faster growth?
