Adrienne Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Finally, after several years of looking at some of the lovely guppies around I have purchased one male and a couple of females. The male is an import, the females have apparently been selectively bred in nZ (I think up here in Auckland). The girls were in a tank with a male from the same colour lines so I do know that any fry I get in about the first six months may not be from the new male or may be a mix. Currently the tank also houses 10 ember tetra and 5 pygmy cory. What do you think of the male and females? Any useful tips, information or suggestions appreciated. You can see a female in both the 2nd and 3rd photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyes Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Not useful tips, information or suggestions but..... I accidentally procured some guppies too a couple of weeks ago.... I thought I was nuts.... but they are just such beautiful fish, I love the colours and they are characters to watch too.... they are currently in the new setup until I find a job and can afford my killies......

Sophia Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like the colours. They will look great with the tetra and the plants in that tank. And the fry will love the moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 what kind of lightings do you have ? i know it sounds a bit off-topic but lighting do affects guppies color My lighting on my 3 ft tank with the guppy in is an Aqua One 2ft T8 20 watt light - and its about 5 years old (the bulb that is). This is a very very low tech tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
