alanmin4304 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 You wont know if the albinos will breed pure until they have young. I would keep them seperate in another tank and keep any albino offspring that they have. Any that are not albino will carry the gene and could be kept seperate again.

BUT they were with other fish so will have to see. Are the albinos worth more to sell??? What about the TANK PH one is about 6 and the big one is 7 so there is quiet a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually you'll have so many you'll give them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron11 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You're never going to make money selling guppies. Eventually you'll have so many you'll give them away. I already have some orders and use to make money last time selling them few hundred a month selling 20 fry for 20 dollars Im only doin it to cover the costs of running the tanks and also food for my other pets and stuff the tanks needs like lights etc..

Cricketman Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 And I was asking abuot the PH not the money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :an!gry :an!gry :an!gry :an!gry :an!gry Oi, It's a forum, people are going to post what they think is relevant, no need to get all tiffy... Remember you're relatively new here... Attitude like that won't see you getting much help at all, especially when you're asking for help... :facepalm: If you don't like a comment or post, ignore it... pH.... As long as you float your fish and add water SLOWLY to the ones that are being introduced (1 cup of water/15-20 min into the bag) will gradually change the pH in the water of the ones being introduced until they are able to be released. I'd say bout 4 cups to a average sized LFS bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I find the easiest way to float a bag and slowly add water is if you can open the bag and peg it to the side of the tank. Plenty of fresh air and easy to keep adding a little more water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
