Guppy

Is it back near the anal fin? Although a picture would help it's probably the gravid spot. Pregnant live bearers get the spot and it gets bigger and darker the closer they get to giving birth..

You mean if your guppy is giving birth and the babies won't pass? You should net the guppy out. Hold the guppy (yes, with your hands) in one hand and gently push your finger on the guppy's mid-area is a way that seems like you are rubbing the fish, but a little bit harder. If you are a novice, or just nervous, take your guppy to a vet and they will handle the situation. :)

Fightn' Fact #1: Always make sure your hand are wet before you have to handle your aquarium fish for any reason. Especially fish with softer fins like Bettas.

Fightn' Fact #2: If you try the first way and put your female back in your tank and she doesn't continue giving birth, don't worry. She just needs a few minutes to calm down. However take her too a vet if she is still carrying longer than a day.

No, they are not acceptable tankmates. Guppies are tropical fish and require higher temperatures than are likely to be comfortable for a goldfish. In addition, the goldfish will eventually grow large enough to swallow the guppies.

Yes they can and do. One lot of youngsters can have several different fathers.

Unfortunatly not.

Goldfish are used to freshwater conditions where as tropical fish have tropical water conditions. Both have diffrent PH water requirements so chances are that your godfish might die.

Hope that answers your question!

Answer:

No, goldfish and tropical fish should not be put into the same tank. They have drastically different temperature requirements that need to be addressed.

The goldfish are coldwater fish that need temps in the range of 60-65 degrees.

The tropicals need to be kept in temps of 72-76 degrees and some even higher than that.

Keeping a fish in the wrong temp water stresses them a lot and eventually compromises their immune system. Then, opportunistic parasites and diseases take over and the fish's life is shortened appreciably.

ANSWER

No, I wouldn't

YOU CAN, ITS ACTUALLY GOOD TO HAVE GOLDFISH in water the same temperature water as tropical fish. Goldfish prefer tropical fish flakes aswell. becasue that's what i do and they have been fine for ages.

I'm not sure this is right but, I've heard it takes 3 hrs for a male guppy to impregnate a female. But I've also heard that it can take up to 1 month.

If your goldfish are huddled together, there are a few explanations. One, the tank may be cold. The goldfish will huddle together to keep warm. Two, the tank may be too small. The goldfish will naturally migrate to the corners to try to spread out. Other than that, I'm not really sure. I would investigate these explanations first, before searching for others.
i have three fantail goldfish myself they always swim together i think the reason they huddle is because in the pet store the fish lived in a much smaller tank with many other fish it looked like they lived like that for awhile

well i have just started breeding guppies and i have looked it up a hundred times. this is what I've got for you: if you want them to develop their color then it would take about two months. but it goes a lot faster if you keep their water temperature lukewarm ( aka boiling ) but if you want them to be big enough to put in with the bigger fishes then it would take a week or two. just make sure you separate the mother from the babies as soon as you see the little guys.

buh bye!

watch em grow very entertaining(:

It depends on how many guppies, and how well you keep up the tank. In a ten gallon tank, I'd say no more than ten guppies, and do frequent water changes. 10-15% weekly. They need a filter and a heater, as well.

They can live together but you will have to be carefull with the temperature setting of your heater/thermostat and try to keep the tank fairly steady at around 75F to suit both species of fish. Tetra Tropical Flakes are a good all round fish food. Bettas are insectivores and need more protein than guppies so it is a good idea to feed the fish a few Betta pellets and live brine shrimp occasionally.

No, unless the barbs are really execptionally peaceful. If not, they would bully the guppies and the guppies would be dead due to nips and injuries.

I have to disagree with the answer as I have a community tank which has Guppy and Barb (Tiger & Ruby) and my guppy bullies the barbs! All are living together and I have had only one injury which was actually to my Silver Dollar and was caused by him getting wedged in between heater and glass. Hope that helps, check out Wakeybikerguy videos on youtube for videos of my tanks.

You will want to remove the Goldfish. Goldfish can only live with Koi, also guppies and Glofish are tropical fish and need water temps. between 72-82 degrees. The Petco Compatibility Chart is also helpful.

Guppies are a freshwater fish. They require that the water be dechlorinated, and between 72 and 82 degrees F. The pH of the water should be around 7.2 to 7.8 and the salinity levels should optimally be 0.20%.

No. Guppies eat brine shrimp, various tiny species of worms and commercial fish food.

Fish of the same location or temperaments. In cichlids keeping them grouped by specific locations (i.e. South American cichlids, New American cichlids, Lake Victoria Cichlids, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, Madagascar, etc.) helps keep deaths down, though it is possible to mix in some circumstances. There are also what is known as community fish. These are your generally more peaceful types such as mollies, guppies, sword tails, tetras, veritas, etc. And remember, just because a type of fish is suppose to act a certain way, does not mean all of them will.

Yes because the other fish including the mother will eat the babies what you can do is get a mesh or plastic breeding net that you put in the tank with the other fish which you put the mother in when you think she is close to giving birth and after your sure she is done you take her out and leave the babies in there for about two weeks before letting them loose in the tank so there is no chance they will get eaten.

Aquarium salt can be used as a medication for certain illnesses of tropical fish including guppies, and used at the correct concentrations for a specified time, it could help a guppy get better from its illness. If on the other hand, if salt is just added to the water for no specific reason then at low concentrations it will do very little harm. At higher concentrations it could well kill guppies.

Sorry, but no. Guppies are tropical fish, while goldfish arecold water fish. That's a major reason. Another is, when the goldfish get bigger, guppies will be severely harassed or in many fateful encounters. By "fateful" I mean, fish in goldfish's mouth struggling to get out. So please don't mix guppies with goldfish. No matter how nice the tank may look.

neon tetras live at standard tropical aquarium temperatures, but a good place to start is about 76 degrees Fahrenheit

Angel fish (Pterophylum scalare) are one of the most tropical fish coming from the Amazon. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are cold water fish. They both need totally different condtions and water qualities. So the answer is they could live together provided the water is kept warm and pure enough for the Angelfish but they will not do well.
No i wouldn't recommend it.... goldfishes live in cold waters and angel fish live in warm water so that wouldn't really be a good match up

Yes, I had around 20 guppies at my old house. They lived for around 3 months, kinda hard to keep track with all the breeding... Mine died from suicide, found it under a rock.

DEFINITELY. It is cruel to keep so many fish in one tank. Your aquarium stocking level is 323%. I would recommend taking out the pleco (Pleco's have been reported being up to 24 inches long.) Replace it with a small catfish such as corydoras. Take out at least 4 guppies (the recommended guppy ratio is 2 females per Male.) And if you take out the 2 larger fish, you should have a pretty good tank setup.

Yeah. I left my window open for the night, it was about 12 degrees F. The next morning after about 6 hours I closed the window but I didn't look at my fish. When i got home which was about 12 hours since i opened the window and 6 since I closed it, My fish was dead.

they are usually pregnant for around 4-6 weeks before they have the babies, however the parents will usually eat the babies within the first few hours.

(if your fish is about to have baby mollies i recommend separating the mother into a smaller tank using the same water they are currently in and separating the mother as soon as they are born or the other fish will eat them)

hope that helps.

Yes that is enough. You usually want to keep a two to three female to one male ratio. The male will constantly try to breed with the females. If there was only one the female you get stressed out and die. So make sure to keep two to three females
