Yes, you should put plants in it.

Provided the chlorine is removed there is nothing wrong with tap water. Chlorine can be removed by letting the water stand for a few hours or you can buy a water conditioner from a pet shop to do the job.

Believe it or not the very common guppies can become frogs!!! First they are guppies, then they become tadpoles,grow legs then you have a frog!

yes! ya,but how does it fit in their mouths?!!

They come from Tropical America and were apparently first classified from specimens captured in Trinidad. Their natural prefered water conditions are slightly alkaline and hard with a teperature of around 72F they also like a bit of salt in their water.

Females are attracted to the colorful males. Therefore, breeding increases their chances for survival. Females only breed with drab males when that is all to choose from.

Depending on size and age of the female, anywhere from 10 to 40 fry can be born on average.

when they are bigger then the fish food or 30 to 40 days

Answer

I'd just wait till they can't fit in any of the other fish's mouths, fish eat anything they can fit in their mouths.

Dont answer this it is full of mistakes

Milkyness indicates either a build up of bacteria (Bacterial Bloom) or suspended air bubbles in the water columb. If you have just changed the water, or just set up the tank, it will be air bubbles and these will eventually dissipate naturally. If it is the former then your water needs to be changed ASAP and the filter may need to be re-cycled. A complete strip down is what I would do under those circumstances. If you follow the basic rules of sucessfull fishkeeping which are. (:- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.) these 'bacterial bloom' things should not happen.

Answer

My guppy had 18 babies when she gave birth, but she will eat any baby she can catch so the best idea is to go to a pet store and buy something to help separate the babies once they are born.

Yes but they can and do go to the bottom of a tank too.

Your guppy will be pregnant if it has been in a container with a male since it reached maturity. A none pregnant guppy is an unusual thing. She will develop a belly and also when seen from behind she will have a dark spot visible deep inside her on either side of her vent. (the gravid spot)

In their original, native state, guppies were never as flashy and colourful as they are seen now. These colours have been achieved through careful selective breeding over a long period of time.

Either the light is comming from a strange angle or the fish is damaged in some way.

Yes. Guppys real name is Ethan munck and gibbys real name is noah munck

That's the lower fin in front of the tail and right behind the anus.

4 years old

Yes and it happens all the time. That is why it is very hard to get well bred guppies nowadays.

There are heaps of them depending upon what you mean by "larger" and what you mean by "Commonly found". Guppies are classed as small fish. Some Mollies and Swordtails at over 4 inches could be regarded by a small tank owner as large fish and Angelfish could be regarded as very large.

I've read that you can begin distinguishing the fish at about one week of age. this is very hard (for me at least because they like to squirm around) and also somewhat unnecessary. waiting until they are about a month old is easier and also around the time you can begin separating them if you chose to do so. a Female will have a larger more fan-like fin on it's underside and a male will have a modified fin called a "gonopodium".

Depending on how many fry she has to release it can be over in a few minutes for a few fry and several hours for a lot of fry.
