Livebearers

until i decide exactly what we're doing with it, this is how it stands at the moment. ^ ^ ^ ^ its amazing how the tank comes alive after i put in some microworms (thanks antwan) i also have 2 cae in there as vacuum cleaners

My female albino guppies is giving birth so far 2 albino babies out of two Hope theres more

Does anybody know how long it take for the gravid spot of a virgin female guppy to darken after mating? (In other words how long until I know if the Female Albino guppy I have in the breeding tank is fertile or not?) Yes I know, it's been little over a week, I should just wait. :oops:

i got 2 pregnant female guppies from peanuts on wednesday afternoon. yesterday they started having their bubbas here are photos from today (approx 50 little uns) ^^^^^ mums at bottom in this corner Close up heaps of excitement for my son who has never seen baby fish before

hey is anyone here line breeding guppies? as i am wanting to start my own line does anyone have tips that they could pass on? cheers

Just a few pics of my guppies.

I went to my lfs and found some albino guppies.I got two females as thats all they had.They have blue fins and there eyes are bizar. :bounce: I hope i get some fry and of course I found the fatest ones there any one else got albis out there.

I keep reading about different guppy skin types but there are never supporting photos to show me what is classed as what. Can anybody help?

YAY I went into the pet store today as I was wanting to get more half blacks if they had managed to get imports. To my supprise there was an albino male in there. My question is, if my albino male was to mate with a normal female what are my chances of getting more albinos? They didn't have any females to go with him but was told that my chances were high to get more albinos by just having a male. So the tank that was set up for my solid half blacks is now for the albino and I have put in 4 golden females. I shall let you know over the next few months what happens sooo excited YAY cheers

Just thought you should be aware... http://www.killerguppies.com/ :roll: :evil: :oops:

I want to start breeding for colour but have no virgins, how long will I have to keep the females I want to use seperated? Same question for Platties if anybody knows.

Hello There Im wanting to get either male or female young adult/adult guppies showing some/full colour(preferably bright coloured genes but will consider anything). Please send me some details if you have some going spare.Also posting pics. Cheers Sean

Would like to know if anyone else finds this auction hilarious??? http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_detail.asp?id=36562240

I don't know if this site will be of any use to anyone or if these pictures are of any "pure" strain but I thought that it might be enjoyable none the least so I thought I would share http://www.tropicalfishintl.com/guppy.htm

hey guys, I've found a really cool site about microworms and stuff. Our guppies love microworms so much and I thought I should share this with people who's thinking of buying microworms.. check this out. http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/i ... Microworms

Guppy Betta Swordtail Molly Platy

Just wondering how long roughly till my swordtail drops all her babies....she had 6 3 days ago, and was still really fat and today has been hiding at the bottom of the tank behind a plant nearly all day. Can't see any more babies yet but I don't want to stress her out by looking around in there for more to move them into breeding net with the others. Thankies in advance

We were doing a big clean out of the community tank the other day, when we discovered a very tiny baby all by itself. Im sure it's a swortail, we recently purchased 1 male and three females - all females extremely fat now so I am hoping for more. The baby is in its own tank now and doing just fine, growing very fast. I suspect that any siblings it had probably got eaten. Should I move the fattest female into the little tank to give birth, and if I do will she eat the baby.

Normaly I manage to catch the female before she drops so I put her in the breeding trap then transfer the fry over to the fry tank. If there are any females that have babies during the night and I miss them well thats just hard cheese I guess lol but when I get the other tanks I will just have one thank as a MISC tank. All the ones that I am seperating are the solid half blacks, albinos, snakeskins and a grow out tan…

I would like to know the low down on importing guppies. I have seen many sites that show guppies for sale but how would I get them to NZ? I am not looking at a huge bulk look but just some for myself. Any information on this would be greatful. Cheers

Hi everyone! Just wondered if anyone knows of any fancy / show guppy breeders in Nelson or Nelson Bays area?? Thanks!

Hi I've been taking some photo's of my fish for the MAF project and today i took some of a couple of my guppies i thought were nice pictures so i'll like to share them.

I am looking to purchase some BLUE guppies for breeding, preferably a breeding trio. Currently have light blue guppies but the strain appears to be quite weak, as yellows constantly come up trumps. Also just curious if anyone is breeding Blue Moscow Guppies or similar in NZ?

I notised yesterday that one of our swards had this groth on its gonapodium Any one got any ideas, is it somthing that should be treeted, or shall i leave it alone Thanks Helen and Shane

Cn some one tell me how i would know if i have Xiphophorus variatus - Variatus platy OR Xiphophorus maculatus - Platy. i am not refering to any particular fish of mine i am just wondering what the main difference is. There must be something different between them both for there to be a name for each right?
