Easy Breeding For Starters

[enobd2dab]

i try to breed just for the fun of it. but thinking of it, maybe i should try breeding for money now. but not really good at keeping the fries alive. really tough! so delicate.

hello
was just wondering, my guppys or rather guppy just recently gave birth, how long do i have her the breeding net before i put her in the main tank? oh and how do i tell whether a guppy is gonna give birth? cos i have lots of females with really dark gravid spots. the only reason i caught the guppy as mentioned above was because i happened to see fry popping out her butt. hahah

watch the tummy; when the gravid spot is darker means it's going to drop soon; also the mummy will eat less and move around less; prepare a breeding trap when you see this.

Keep the fries in the breeding trap till they're about 1 month old before releasing into main tank, but do some judgement; if they're still quite small, better to have another tank for adults and you can keep the juveniles in the main tank while newborns in the breeding trap.

Hope that helps

woah i can literally see the fry's eyes in mummy guppy in one of your pics! read it somewhere but never actually believed it until today!
okay, awesome so all i have to do really is to put females with really dark gravid spots into breeder nets and wait! oh i also read somewhere that you cant put a female in for too long cos its bad for her, is it true? if so then how long do i put her in the net for?

thanks for the info btw!

I agree.. But seems like even breeding is a difficult task for me..

My advice: Fish owners who are always busy, forget about breeding fish.

you just need to be patient

use sponge filters connected to airpump in bare tanks for your fries; it's the best setup you can have. I learnt my lesson the hard way by changing water daily in unfiltered ice cream tubs; in the end, the whole lot of 20 fries died off in masses.
