Feeding Guppies In Turkey (none / 0) (#4)
by erdemozkan on Fri Oct 17, 2003 at 04:27:58 PM PST

***Most of the aquarists where i live (i think all of them) told me that they're buying guppies from distributors. Because it's very for them to buy. They sell a guppy about .70 $ to 1 $. Here it's a hot place, still above 30 C degrees. So we can't find brine shrimp or any other live food. Some shops sell dry or canned dead live food. Their advice for feeding guppies is flake food. All of them think that TetraMin is the best one for the guppies. What do you think about it? I want to feed my guppies with live foods? Can you please tell me how i can produce live foods easily? Last night i went to a shop and saw that they were feeding the guppies with ta mixture of flake food, tubifex & etc. But they're adult fish. They seemed me happy about that food.
***I have more than 60 fry babies as i could count. I told it to the shopper and he wanted to buy the babies when they're 4 weeks old for .15 $/one young guppy. I think of selecting some (about 10 of them) good ones and selling the rest to the shopper. My old female which didn't breed died today. I saw her trying to kill herself in the raffia labyrinth. I took her form there but she contiuned to do again. At last she out herself on a floating amazon plant leaf. I found herself laying there dead when i came home back. She seemed very old when i first bought it 3 weeks later but pregnant,too. Then i understood she hadn't been pregnant. Her waist was belt down, badly. I think the shopper used her for breeding and at the end of her life sold it to me. Her belly was very white when i took herself out of the tank. The new female (which brood newly) and the male and the all fry in the tank seem very healty. The adults do not eat the fry. I feed them three times a day with flake food. I've heard that some feeding the guppies with boiled spanish or cabbage. Do you suggest it? And if you suggest, in what size?
***What do you recommend to make plants bigger?
***Can you send me the pictures of the fish you've got from Turkey? my email adress is erdemozkan@3asoftek.com
