Wow Miskairal!! You're a lot farther along with your hubby than I. But then again, once we move out of this 3rd floor place, the idea of a 55 gallon might not be so bad.

Congrats on your new acquisition! Send me pics!

Well it won't be long until you move so maybe then Maggie.

I got the shark, dollar and male guppies into the tank safely today. There are only 8 males who had better not breed with my females or I will kill them. I'm counting on the fact that my 15 best females have been in with several males since February and nothing has happened. Nothing has bred here since last August so hopefully it will stay that way.

Cheerio

wow!!! good for you then!!! I am working on getting a 30gal tank and buying a divider so that I can keep my males and females (guppies) in the same one just separate.....my males LOOOOVE to breed!!!

Sounds like you've got your hubby all buttered up then! I need to learn how to do that! hehe....
Well, you definantly have many many more females then I will ever have in one tank! I currently have 26 females in one 10gal tank and 19 males in a 6gal tank....they are all about 6 months old...well on Aug. 7th they will be!

However, their numbers will all decrease by next week....I will be selling half of the males and over half of the females to a pet shop. It was agreed that I would $1.00 for every two guppies.....I guess that is pretty good considering they are babies and fish of all animals!!!

My problem was I live in a tiny town without a market for the offspring and at that time was dairying and unable to travel any distance between milkings to take them any where. I also had some disease - ?columnaris, ?fish TB, dropsy and was unable to control any of it with so many fry always adding to the population explosion and consequent overstocking. I was doing water changes every second day.

A friend took about 30 males knowing the disease problems and he only had one die.

I was clueless about fish keeping when I inherited tank 1 and the'd all be dead now if it wasn't for guppylog.

Congratulation on having a "market" for your fish as you will be able to continue enjoying breeding them.
