suemack Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 what do you do with your retired geriatric guppies ? At present mine go into a 10 g growing on tank - the odd baby gets born (and eaten). It's going to get o/crowded in there eventually !! :-?

Ira Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Keep breeding them until they croak. Nah, never had to worry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Ours always died before they reached the geriatric stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I agree with above. Their lives are short and soon you will not have to worry as nature will takes its' course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 just how long do guppies live ? Zorro and Pinks 2 (the geriatrics) are about 2 1/2 yrs old now and in fine health tho a little fat - must be all that fry food!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 usually 2 - 3 years (you never know how old the ones you bought in the shop are) but I have known some to be around after 4 - 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 thanks Caryl - looks as though the dear old fins will be with me for a while - I'll have to get them rocking chairs! - sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
