Thanks, I was thinking that but was wondering if 10 gallons was big enough for female HGs once the male starts pursuing them. Are they a lot less aggressive than guppies?

Hello all, I've kept guppies for years but I decided to try something different and start keeping Honey Gouramis. I had an empty 10G and an almost empty 30G with just a couple guppies. Over the last few weeks I've added 3 young HG to the 10 and now 3 more to the 30. It took me a liitle while to...

Will Trent is really good! Nice to get a good cop show on our side of the pond. Another new one Lisbeth, just aired the first episode. Also looks pretty good. Great timing as I'm stating to run out of shows on BritBox.

A small cylindrical sponge that fits over your intake is a good addition as well. I just have that along with a big coarse sponge and floss inside my filter. The intake sponge usually needs to be rinsed off once a week and it ends up doing most of the work. The internal sponge gets rinsed out...

I've been using 20s and 30s for several years without problems so it seems odd that you're repeatedly having issues. It could be specific to the 50, I guess. Or bad luck. Are you doing anything unusual with them? What media are you using? Cleaning too vigorously?

Thx, I didn't know that. Are you talking about on the coloured parts of the female's tail/fin or can they have a bit of snakeskin pattern on their body?

I'm not sure that females ever show snakeskin markings. I thought only males could.

Stumbled on to "Survive the Raft" playing on the Discovery channel. Was just going to leave it on in the background, but then realized it was a really interesting show, so we looked it up to start watching from the beginning. It's kind of like Survivor but there is a really interesting back...

I admit it, I watched the RL "Squid Game, The Challenge" series. I only had a vague idea of what the Korean TV show was about going in. I don't at all go for Big Brother interpersonal drama stuff, but I think they didn't over-do it with the show. Overall, I was quite entertained. It reminded...

Guppies are pretty good at not being snack food, as their own kind will usually hunt and try to eat them for the first few days after they are born. As long as you don't have any aggressive fish, he should be fine. The one thing I sometimes do, to be careful with a new fish to a tank, is keep...

Looks like a good crop of frogbit. I've got it in all my guppy tanks too. Just one tank? (so far...;) )

Watching a bunch of PBS channel stuff. All Creatures Great & Small - pretending to "let" my SO watch it, but it's really about as good as it gets. Tried Anikka as we like the lead actor, but didn't like it - hated it when she "breaks the wall" and keeps stopping and talking to the audience...

A group of only males will be very active. They won't spend much time slowly gliding around. It might be on the aggressive side initially in a small group especially if the pecking order isn't yet established. Small groups in a small tank are tricky as there is little room to get away from a...

It would help if you were specific about the timeline on all these events. If your shrimp are fine, it might have just been unhealthy fish though. I'm assuming the shrimp are neocaridina - I find they are far more delicate than guppies.

It's probably as good as any. They won't be pure, but if you pick your best females from what you get and breed them back to the pure males you should be getting close. I'm hardly a breeding expert though. Just chiming in.

I bought a set of pipe cleaner brushes which are quite good for cleaning the impeller and the shaft it sits in. They both need to be cleaned occasionally to keep the flow rate up. I'm sure you'll be able to get a set on Amazon wherever you are.

Do you have just a single tank? If so and you are going with both males and females, you might want to just start with 1 male and 2 females and leave room for your guppy family to grow. It's always good to start slow anyways.

The answer for the guppy fry is pretty simple. You can do absolutely nothing if you choose and they'll do fine all on their own. If you want you can get fry food and add some cover to help them along, but for most people the challenge rather is stopping the guppy fry ;)

I've tried a bunch of different things but eventually ended up back where I started just with Nutrafin guppy flakes as the main daily food. I like that you can just poke a small hole in the foil and shake them out as slow as you like, like a pepper/salt shaker. Little food for little guys. Once...

These are really good. It's a good time to watch bears catching fish. Ooh, a new alone series just popped up for me, Alone UK, just when we finish the one from Oz/Taz. It's set in Canada though. I wonder any of them will last long. Should be interesting seeing a fresh set of characters. I though...
