What fish and critters can I put in a 27 gallon tank with guppies?
You can add Guppies, Mollies,Neon tetras, algae eaters,sword tails,and African water frogs (also known as African clawed frogs, but they don't claw the fish)to name a few.If you do add an African water frog, be sure to have a lid on your tank. To add flair, you can add mystery snails, clams or ghost or cherry shrimp. You can also put an angelfish or angelfish pare, but to be on the safe side, don't put anything to small in with it because any fish that has a mouth big enough to eat another smaller fish will usually eat it. Fish do all have their own unique personalities though, so if you get a shy angel he might not bother smaller fish. angels can get 7-8 inches long and 10 inches tall.If you plan to get mystery snails, don't add a clown loach because they will snack on the snails.
Can you put neon tetras in with a catfish a eel a pleco guppies and mollies?
(no doubt some loonatic will say it is possible in a genetic laboratory) Under normal circumstances, No they can not.They are entirely different species. Neons lay eggs and Guppys have babies. It would be like crossing a hen with a cat. Can't be done naturaly.
How do you know if your guppy fish is pregnant?
Green Spotted Puffers (and most other puffers) are nearly impossible to breed in captivity, and exact procedure has never been recorded. Puffers lay eggs, they don't become "pregnant". It's thought that the female will lay her eggs on a slate stone and the male will fertilize and fan them with his tail. GreenSpottedPuffer.Net
When will tetra's have babies?
when they are mature and mated. three days they are pregnant. i don't know when the eggs hatch
Why are all my baby guppies female?
The male guppy would not (highly unlikely) kill the female on purpose. When this situation happens though, it's usually because of an imbalance in your aquarium between male and female fish population. The golden rule is 2 female for 1 male fish, otherwise it's likely that the male fish will "harass" the female fish, which will make her stress out and eventually die.
Does a female betta get pregnant on there own?
Male is required. some info on bettas breeding: This Betta species is a Bubble-nest builder. There are many ways to set up a breeding aquarium for the pair, and not enough room to supply details on them all. There are two popular ways to breed the Siamese Fighting-fish- in an aquarium specially set for the pair, which should be at a volume of at least 20 liters (5.2 gallons), and the Thai-way, which uses large Plant-pots. In any of these ways, the fish must be conditioned well before introducing the pair. Conditioning is made by feeding the fish live or frozen foods about two to three times a day, and making frequent water changes. Conditioning should take about two weeks at least, and can take up to one month, depending on the food quality and water temperature. The breeding set-up, in both ways, should contain lots of hiding places for the female, and some floating plants for the male to build its nest. If floating plants aren't available, you can use a halved Styrofoam-cup. Water temperature at the breeding set-up should be in the range of 28-30oC (82.4-86oF/ 301-303oK), and it is advisable to place a tight fitting glass-cover on top, so that the air above water will be hot and humid. Using an aquarium, the female is usually placed in a clear chamber, so that the male can see her, but can't touch her. Once the male has built his bubble-nest, he will start courting the female.
there are types of Grouper but there mainly in Saltwater. in fresh you can only find them in a few lakes none of witch in united states

because it give birth to young alive Guppys are livebearers.
Will the adult guppy eat all the baby guppies?
The male and female will both eat the babies if they get the chance, but the female is the worst for it. Many people use breeder nets - put the mother when she's very pregnant in a separate aquarium inside a net that she can't fit through but that newborn fry can. When she gives birth, they swim out of the net and she can't eat them.
FYI guppies don't get pregnant, they don't have a placenta. They actually incubate the eggs internally. Look up the term Oviparous.
My solution, 40 years of experience, Grow a thick mat of Elodea. Elodea provides hiding places for the young fry as well as food. I keep several aquariums with out filters or air stones. Grow the plants using fluorescent lamps such as the four foot shop lights. The closer you imitate nature, the healthier your aquarium will be

Will gold barbs eat guppies or mollies?
Gold Barb (Puntius semifasciolatus) are a fairly small, peacefull fish (about 3" max) with a fairly small mouth. Adult Guppies and Mollies would be far too big for the Barb to eat. They will of course eat youngsters (fry) though, as will just about every other species of fish.
How many guppies can live in a 30gallon fish tank?
Guppies are usually 1 inch long, and a good rule of thumb is to have 1 inch of fish per gallon, so as many as 30 guppies will be just fine. Although, it might be nice to add some different fish occasionally.
A goldfish goes through several life phases. First it starts off as an egg. After it hatches, it is a "child". Then, it becomes an adult. For a goldfish, it can take around 3 months before it is able to have babies.
Goldfish lay eggs. Once fertilized, it takes 48 to 72 hours for the eggs to hatch.
How many guppies can you put in a 10gallon fish tank?
Well, I am a trained guppy professional and i will tell you what you need to know. First you should start out with 30 guppies and decide if you like to have that much. Second, you kill them and wonder what you have done wrong..... but you will still have a little left over.Then you overlook all the guppies and choose 2. You then separate your 2 best fish from the other 27 and put them in a bag full of water(separate). Sell your guppies for 50 cents each and then you will have some money. Now you got your 2 best fish left, mate them and you will have about 30 guppies,start the process all over again. YOU WILL GAIN A LOT OF MONEY DOING SO....... TRUST ME
---lol
Answeras many as you desire. but keep a ratio of 1 male to every 3 females, so theres no tail nipping
They usually don't, but guppies have differing personalities, with some being more aggressive than others.
Guppies are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and small animals. In the wild, they primarily feed on algae, insects, and larvae. In a home aquarium, they can also be fed a diet that includes both plant matter and protein-rich foods.
What if your pregnant guppy is laying on the gravel on the bottom of the tank what is she doing?
If she suddenly dashes from the bottom to another place, and then drops back to the bottom of the tank, and continues to dash from place to place, in all probability she is giving birth.
Goldfish are very delicate and often cannot survive in the wild, but they are not endangered. Since Goldfish do not appear in the wild naturally and are a result of selective breeding, there is currently a good supply of Goldfish. Goldfish breeding is an industry itself that regularly produces rare and expensive fish.
If Goldfish breeding were to stop, however, Goldfish would maybe become endangered. They would not die out completely but they would not be goldfish as we know them. After a few generations in the wild, goldfish revert back to their dark greenish brown scale color and begin to resemble the less delicate carp that are more fitted to survive. Some less durable types of goldfish would die out completely.
Rest assured, our favorite fish is nowhere near endangered. It simply needs constant care and attention to stay that way.
Do male guppies follow the female guppy when she is pregnant?
Absolutely you have to give the fry a place to escape their hungry parents. The Male and Female eat just about all of the fry in a few days. Occassionally one will survive and become an adult. It is recommended to have a divider with holes small enough for the fry to cross over and escape.
