Livebearers

I know this isn's really a scientific statement, but Endlers look an awful lot like guppies to me! does anyone really know what the difference is?

Found this link through Championship show guppies. Anyone realy interested in linebreeding will find it interesting. A few big names in guppies giving interviews.Need to logg in to get access to the site but it is worth it. www.fullredguppy.com

Buy some different coloured swordtails for me, as I can only find orange ones around tauranga. I will pay all costs before hand. I dont want to have to ship fish far at this time of year so you would have to be somewhere close to tauranga such as auckland or hamilton. If you can buy black, blue, yellow or any other colours of swordtails other than orange, and live close to tauranga. Just give me a PM. thanks

Can you breed guppies in 1 tank ? If yes, what do you need to do besides heavily planting it ?

I just wanted to know how many fry a fish can give birth to, and the survival rate if the proper methods are followed,

hey all,i was wondering how people get coldwater guppys are they just guppys that have been climatized to colder water or something.???

hey all just wondering what colors and tail shapes of different livebears are in nz e.g are there any swordtail guppys?

was looking in my tank at the guppys and i got a female with red lines

would i be able to breed leopard fish outside in a washing machine tub thingy (from the inside of a washing machine? also what other live bearers can be breed like this?

Such thing? before I came into the hobby, i swear i saw a yellow sword! they called it a "pineapple swordtail" is there such a thing or was it dyed or something (I hope not!)

Went downstairs this morning to find 2 baby mollies! Not to exciting i know, ad they are prolific but... WHAT THE HECK DO I FEED THEM? do i feed them in a seperate net? shopuld they be in another tank?

when i woke up this morning i saw a little thing swimming with my panda cories...IT WAS A BABY PLATY...i moved it into the breeding tank...and the mum...although im beginning to think i shouldnt have done that im sooo excited...hopefully when i come home she should have more babies.... and i just hope that she didnt have them over night...and they got eaten sumo

Hi all, I'm just newly registered here, and found this site from information on http://pub64.ezboard.com/fboroniaaquari ... =969.topic, where pagasus NZ had a link to you. I have some cold-water guppies that I've had for a couple of years, and I mostly give the babies away to the local pet shops. I wouldn't mind to get into breeding some of the more beautiful ones, but suspect i would need to invest in a water heater for that type of carry on ? and, i was wondering what size and how many tanks i would need to get into breeding for selling locally?. I heard some people put the fry into alga jar size containers ? is that big enough ?? will i need to get out a small …

Folks, I'm quite happy at the moment. I found 20 or so baby leopard fish in with the adults today. It's been 2 years or so since I had any youngsters of this species. Woo-hoo! Moved them out into a tank of their own and they're happily snacking out on brineshrimp at the moment. Andrew.

the kids are growing up now and are really starting to show their colours.....have got them split into 3 different tanks as they have outgrown their 5 gallon nursery tank sue

Hi guys, one of my female platys in a community tank is Pooing white. I feed the tank frozen bloodworm, par boiled zuchini and flake. She seems happy but have noticed since she had a litter her poos are white. Water is fine, PH7.4 , no ammonia or nitrate/nitrite. Any reasons? Suggestions ? Comments? Thanks Robbo

Ok I have had platty's have babies before, but this one is weird. Mum is SOOOOO fat, and is draggin herself around the bottom of the tank. I am sure that if she does not have them soon she is goin to pop. Any ideas on how to get her to push them out???? Poor thing.

I come home from holiday to find my baby guppies have their tails clamped. So tight that at the end they are pointed. They seem to be swimming funny too. None of the other baby fish in their seem to be affected (swordtails&platys). Have just put some Wunder white spot cure in there at the moment.

got home from work today and found I had been delivered an early Xmas present sue

How long would BBS be useful for feeding to swordtail fry as at the moment I don't want to try to grow the BS up? Cheers, Kriber

A platy recently bought for me (as part of a christmas present) by my mum is now giving birth but is having a lot of trouble with it. She is giving birth to an extra large, stillborn first fry. I realise that this is quite common, but she started giving birth yesterday evening and still hasn't managed to get more than the head of the first one out. Please note that this is taking place in an unfiltered tank that I originally used as an emergency overflow tank but which my mum decided to stock for me for christmas. A sponge filter (uncycled) will be added later today when I get the airpump for it back from my dad's house. She is currently in a breeding trap without a divid…

I have a 60 liter tank with about 20 neons 4 corys and 2 clown loaches would guppies breed if i put them in there ?

I got given a guppy the other day.When I got her home and put her in the tank I noticed she had a thing hanging from her bum.That was white and about 3mm long and about 1mm thick. I set up a spare tank and decided to seperate her. On the move the white thing fell off. Then I look now and theres another one almost looks like a baby that didn't form and is white. Big at one end the tail hanging out of the fish.

I would like to breed the yellow snakeskin guppie, unfortunately my one died before being placed with the females. If anyone has one male (or more) and is willing to part with him I would appreciate it. Here is a link to a picture http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1071359359 Thanks

I was reading a book lately and it said that there are over 30 species of mexican livebearer the females don't keep any of the males sperm. i was wondering 1 are they allowed? 2 are they rare ? 3 do you have any? 4 what price are they cheers:D
