August 22, 200719 yr comment_179133 Have come across a TM auction which says: "I DON'T FEED LIVE FOOD!!! It makes fish aggressive!!! It'll be impossible to keep adults and young guppies together if you feed live food as the adults would eat their young! Most pet shops sells fish that grew up on live food thus their aggressive nature. I feed them top quality Tetra bits ONLY. This makes breeding easy as I don't need to separate the young from the adults. " Any comment on that? Not sure if I am allowed to put a link to the auction here so maybe just look up the seller blueyblaze and his auctions. Report

August 23, 200719 yr comment_179225 Rubbish - IMO the only time perhaps you should go easy on live food is when you have eggs hatching and livebearers don't do that!!!! :-? Report
August 23, 200719 yr comment_179263 :lol: saw that today and had a little laugh - mind you I don't feed white worms to any of my blonde or albino strains. I feed them other live foods though. Report
August 23, 200719 yr comment_179266 My guppies are very 21st century and fully understand that it is unacceptable to eat their babies ,which means I have rather a lot at present (no complaints in that department) and I feed them bloodworm/whiteworm. I also have indian fern in the tank just in case someone forgets the rules. Report

August 24, 200719 yr comment_179379 Think about it - do you want them to learn that food = little, wriggling white things? Report
August 24, 200719 yr comment_179435 yes I thought about it and decided my fish deserve the best and hence no probs with the so called guppy disease. Report
