    WARNING
    Hey sorry everyone made a pretty big mistake in the video that I just realised 😂. Was meant to say more females than males, at 0:50. Don’t know how I slipped up. Appreciate everyone pointing it out.

    Ooh I haven’t seen endler’s like yours! I got a group of endler females earlier in the summer and they’ve had a ton of fry but even the biggest ones don’t have color! They’re just grey with black tales. It’s super weird. At first I though I must have been given regular guppy females but they’re even more plain than regular guppies 🤔
    I agree about scrutinizing the tanks at the store before you buy. It’s really hard to resist but don’t buy anything from a tank with dead or sick fish, even when the ones you want look fine. One thing you reeeeeeeally have to look closely to spot is flashing. I saw some at the store today flashing and itching on decor. It’s really subtle but it’s probably lice or flukes and you don’t want that coming home on your new fish!

    So is it keep more males than females, or more females than males? You probably misspoke on your first tip.

    I have a few questions, so if you don't mind answering them, that would be great. Can I keep a guppy(a guppy full red, specifically) in a bowl aquarium(5 litters) and do they need a filter to survive? How many times a day do you feed your guppies and how often do you clean your aquarium, also how do you do it exactly?

    • @jd2080
      @jd2080 4 года назад +1

      You can always google that, there are lots of sites on fish care. Also, I dont recommend putting fish in bowl, they can survive without a filter if there are live plants I think or in a nano aquarium.

    • @drunkkhajit5035
      @drunkkhajit5035 4 года назад

      Please do more research before ever considering fish
      NO fish can live in a bowl. The ideal size for guppies is 5-10 gallons depending on the amount with a heater and thermometer
      You'll need a gravel vac and to learn how to cycle your aquarium
      NEVER buy fish without researching
      I lost two fish and have a betta healing from finrot because I never cycled my tanks

    I have one guppy and a see through goldfish (can’t find the name of that fish), but they’ve been best friends ever since I got them, as most of my other fish were stand-off and didn’t really like the guppy. My goldfish was always there to protect him and all of my other fish have passed. My question is, since it’s just them in a 10 gallon tank, would I be able to get two more guppies or do you think that’s bringing trouble or stress on these two?

    I got 4 male guppies to start my new 12 gallon tank. They were ordered online and have had them for 2 weeks now, all seemed fine. The largest one has a slight black/grey colour on the end of his tail since we got him but I thought it was going away. Just now I noticed a small hole in the middle of his tail. The other fish all look ok but I don't have a quarantine tank or any medication. Obviously I can't go to a pet shop, what do I do? worried about tail/fin rot :/

      this is a year late, so it may not be helpful, but it is always a good idea to keep a quarantine tank handy in case of instances like this. it is possible his fin could have been injured on a decoration, it is also possible it could have been fin rot. make sure the plants in your tank are soft. often times you can contact your local pet store for advice as well!

    Put a tiger barb in with your guppies to cull the weakest out of the gene pool. I barb for every 200 or 300 adult guppies.
