Frances

Thankyou all for your ideas and advice :0) So very much appreciated. I will endeavour to rein in my inpatient tendencies hehehehehe.. hard that it will be. Im so glad i joined this group the advice and ideas are so valuable... :lol:

Thanks for the replies guys :0) Ummmmm wondering what I would make the frame out of? I will also take a look in the pet shops to see what they have available. Im not planning on dividing all of my tanks just a couple of them. Another question on this topic... How do i heat the divided tank? will the one heater that I have in the tank now do the trick? And do I need to filter each compartment seperately? Gosh the questions are flowing now... I look forward to the replies. Im beginning slow and have yellow and blue guppies at the moment but the waiting for fry is killing me do you think it is to soon to buy more fish in different colours? If you dont think its to soon does anyone have any pretty guppies that they are selling? and that wont cost me an arm and a leg to get to Rotorua? I have the different coloured fish in different tanks and will be keeping the seperated so that they can be line bred. I think I visit to Peter is due hehehehehe......

Does anyone know a cheap way or actually any way to divide a fish tank into seperate compartments? I have a couple of 3 ft tanks that I would like to seperate into say 3 compartments to seperate the sexes etc. Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated :lol: Ohhh the joys of needing more tank space hehehehehe

Im glad you dont bite hehehehehe... I didnt want to say anything that wasnt worth saying and yes I had looked around abit before saying anything...Anyway the fish place is now on Clayton Road and yes Jo and her son and hubby still run the place. We dont really have a HUGE selection of pet stores here in Rotorua.. Im glad to be here

Kia Ora Everyone, My name is Frances and I live in Rotorua. I have had fish for hmmm about 6 years now started with tropical got tired of them and went to goldfish then back to tropical :-? then goldfish then tropical hehehehehe I have been toying with the idea of trying to breed guppies for the last couple of years but didnt really know how or If I could. I know they are easy to breed but I didnt just want mixed lucky dip fish I wanted quality fish that i knew were going to be a certain colour when they came out. Anyway before Christmas I got in contact with the local pet store and asked them if they could put me onto any guppy breeders and they pointed me in the direction of Peter. I rang him and went to his house to see what he had and what would be involved, he is just a fountain of knowledge that guy and helped me to decide that I would give it a go. I went away and set up 3 tanks and then got busy and never went back to him until January. He set me up with some fish to begin with which I very much appreciated. I now have my display tank and 3 smaller tanks. Now that I have the fish here and one lot have had babies I know I need more tanks My partner works at th hospital so I have notices on the noticeboard there asking for any old fish tanks etc. I actually got a bite yesterday and have to see a lady, she has tanks in her garage so thats cool. Anyway I cant wait to get more fish and to get different colours to work with. my favourite colour is purple and so of course I want to breed purple fish eventually. I cant wait. Well there you have it thats me in a nutshell and as you see I have burbled on.. I love the stuff on this site and enjoy reading it. Thankyou you guys for all your advice and help that you give to us newbies to the guppy world. Take Care, Frances :lol:

Hi there :lol: I have loved looking over this place. I emailed you actually I think it was you :-? regarding the breeding traps that you acquired? I was wondering if you still had any left for sale. If your the right person that is.. hehehehehe.... I will pop back to see whether it was you or not Frances..
