Livebearers

Hi all Just interested in anyone who knows if it it is alright to catch the wil mollies in Tokaanu. Basically know where to go just need to know if its legal and who to contact.

Hi all, I have been trying to create new strains using the feral guppies from Reporoa. So here a re some pics: Fathers: First male offsprings:

I have a guppythat i bred its half black male, with like aqua neon fins and its got blue and other colours on its tail with dots on the end of it there is also blue on its body :lol:

Hi i have platies and guppies I have some one very fat platty I have 2 tanks, one empty thats just been going for a week it has no plants etc the one tehy are in have plants do i need to take the mother out and put her in the empty tank or just let nature take its course i did see a baby a week ago but then it must of got eaten How do you know when they are going to drop and what about the guppies? I have a red tailed rainbow male, and snake skin looking one thanks

How about these ??? does anyone have or seen any knife edged livebearers in nz?? are they on the allowed list?? :-? :-?

Goodea's livebearers, does anyone in nz have any of these??? or know were i could get some...??

Hey all! I've just been convinced to try line breeding a beautiful guppy I bought from the Livebearer show. I've set up a brand new tank, with the idea of growing plants in it as well as breeding the guppies. I have set the tank up from scratch - new clean water (no old aquarium water added) new filter etc to try and avoid any snails i already have. I have the guppies in another tank, and tonight i tested the pH of both the guppy tank and the new guppy/plant tank. Guppies at 6.6/6.8 and plants at about 7.8. What would be the ideal pH for both the guppies and the plants to thrive in harmony? I've had a nosey round the internet but seem to get conflicting info about pH…

hey there i was thinking about moving out of gravel and into using sand , is it alright to use white sand in a tank for guppies? and also i came across a thought .. how do you keep a sand bedded tank clean , i mean when the guppies make a mess wouldnt it be hard to clean the waste from the sand ? and even if i brought one of those siphons vaccs wouldnt it suck up the sand too? !!!!! on other thoughts ill just stick to my white gravel!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

what is the ideal temperature for breeding leopard fish

has Anyone in CHCH got Mollys frrm the wild population in the north island

Mollies or guppies?

Found this when I was deleting photos off the memory card, the first ever Guppies I brought when I started my livebearer tank last year. these were the fore-fathers of the hundreds of guppies I had to give away through over the year.

hi ive got some nice red tail females an a nice redtail snakeskin male how to i improve the colour an how many tanks will i need as i have 4 spare at the moment but have more i could start up again

and to get things cleared up NO THESE ARE NOT PHOTO SHOPPED CESARZ! so dont get jelous :lol: my yellow breeder his brothers ? is this a crowntail guppy?? fins are not actually torn! green snakeskin with top sword! pair breeding red tail females sorry if took to long to view but hopefully worth it?

My daughter has some gold guppys.Some of the males are turning out lovely yellow tails and some have red in there tails and on their bodys.To keep the yellow ones coming,.I know i have to get the reds out early.The question is wont the yellow strain get weaker if i keep doing this.And just breed golds.

how can i tell the difference between the fry??

I'm wanting to add some fresh bloodlines into my collection of various snakeskin and leopard print guppies (no idea what crosses produced these - just happened freely in my tank lol)...getting a bit inbred at the moment lol. If anyone have any fry Im more than willing to either do a fry swap or purchase them off you. Cheers.

I'd heard of it happening in swordtails, but i was a bit surprised to see that my female guppy now has a males gonopodium :-? There are about 50 females in the tank and only 2 males . Will she/he eventually look like a male? I managed to get a pic:

I have some molly babies I am looking at moving on soon, but wondered how old they have to be before you can tell male from female? I have two broods, one coming up 2 months old and another at 2 weeks. I have heard someone on here say they can tell what their guppies are from day one, but I was under the illusion that they change as they get slightly older. If they don't change then i have too many girls!!!

i have 2 adult females in my tank capable of breeding overnight 23+ babies appeared. is this normal? . although both were gravid the most ive ever seen is 8 from a single female.

i have just put 1/2 spoon of table salt into my tank of mollys and i have a fighting fish in there as mollys need salt what type of salt do i use as i just used table salt help me pleace

my mollies have just been born the mum is a pure black lyretail and the dad an orange neon sailfin there is about 15 babies . wat i want to know is will they have both the lyretail and the sailfin? im already pretty sure of the colour as the black pigment is really obvious on them its a bit patchy so im guessing in between will be the dads colour

21 new species of Phalloceros have been discovered http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/item.php?news=1759

I just found a 5mm leopardfish fry in my tankthats a whole shelf above the leopardfish tank, no equipment has been used in any of the tanks except for the net i netted the dead betta out with today, but the net has been dry on the shelf for a week or 2 :-?

I just saw this picture of a platy when I was looking for pictures of them and I saw this type which looked really cool. Does any one have any that look like this?
