Ive my tank to for 1 years and 3 months and my guppies haven't stopped breeding but suddenly my guppies have stopped breeding and i dont know what to do, can you guys help me!

i have 3 female guppies and 1 male guppies and they dont seem to be breeding, i was wondering does it have to be a certain temptures

How long have you had them? It should not be hard to breed them at all. I got my guppies from the store, and the next day there were babies! Then about every 28 days there are more babies! I have my temp set at 79 degrees, and have had no issues with more babies than I would ever want.

Your threads have been merged. It's not necessary to start multiple thread pertaining to the same question.

do you have readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate? you could be in a mini-cycle or something could have caused your cycle to crash and your guppies aren't feeling particularly well.

i have had them for 6months now but im thinking of buying some young female and male guppies today, and whats a good plant for fry?

java fern although it can be messy if you do not tie it to something. I had some, and then removed it when every week in my maintenance, I was taking so much of it out of the filter intake. Now, every once in a while, I still find a clump or two in cleaning under things. It gets everywhere, but very good for fry to hide in.

they could be breeding and the other fish are having them for a snack..usually to breed you just have a male/female and add water....its usually a given then ...so I agree lots of hiding spots are a must

Did you mean java moss?

Think of the bright side.
You can add another female/watch a never-seen suicidal guppy jump

Yes sorry, brunette moment! Java Fern would not do the same thing. I just saw this reply.
