Sorry for being a little ignorant on the subject of Africans, it would appear that my 6 are Marlieri, thank you guys.

But I thought Ryanjury said they were completely different ?

I have googled them and they look very similar.

What is the difference between ornate and marlieri please ?

Are you aware how much trouble convicts can be ? Especially after being released and given access to alcohol ? :slfg: :sml1:

Endlers/wild/fancy guppies originate from hard water, PH7.3-7.5 and temp of 27C.
-
What are they?

Firstly guppies are not cold water. The males (brightly coloured) chase the females ( bland ) 24hours a day and if you have both male and female you will have babies in about 6 weeks.

If it is flukes you will see your fish flicking their gills rapidly. I agree a water change at this stage would be a sensible move.

Green water will not harm your fish and is beneficial to fry so no need to black out your tank if you already have the UV.

I drove my fish from Taupo to Invercargill without any mishaps, stopping at every Mc donalds for 2 bottles of hot water to top up the plastic bins bought from the Warehouse as we left a trail of water all the way. :facepalm: We only had 1 stop with in Blenheim ( Caryl and Grant ) who stayed up till 1.30am to :spop: us. Point being don't stress you will be fine.

My wife and I had a similar problem with our daughter. We found lying her on her stomach , a lot of back patting and gripewater helped. We were of the opinion that the problem was colic. -

Yeah ! I am also starting to lose faith with humanity and I have always ( I like to think ) tried to think the best of everyone. -
I drilled holes in the bottom of my water barrels in order not to collect to much water. :sml1: :slfg:

I was once told that you need plain ( no colour ) virgin females to get the male colours.
