sunrise001 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 im so proud of my guupys i started my tank in october last year my guppys breed regulary and with amazing colorsbut the only thing is that i woulld like to breed more pattern and color in them but if i buy new males or females from the petshop they would either be still to young to breed or they die 4 some reason every time i have brought them from a petshop they hav died its better to get them from a breeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 much better to get from a breeder if you can, or quarantine them. I had a bad experience with guppys from a petshop and now avoid live bearers from petshops.. however I did buy some nice wagtail platys and put them into quarantine for a month and they have turned out fine and bred lots of beautiful healthy fry... but it took me two-three months to find the right ones.. checking every petshop for weeks until I found some that looked ok. Seeing tanks of guppies and platy's with clamped fins was a real put off and I won't buy a fish from a tank with even one sad looking fish in it. The eventual fish i got were brand new stock so i took the best two. It worked out for me.. I know that's not normally the best thing to do ..(taking brand new stock) but they were cheap enough for em to take the risk and quarantine them myself.
