Guppy

The best flake food for Guppies would be one that is high in vegetable matter. Another food that is heathy for them is finely chopped , and ground spinach. Guppies are largly vegetarian, But will eat most other foods.

Oh, right away. Guppy females store sperm and they've got a chamber to hold it. They can maintain sperm in this chamber for up to a year. Basically, once you mate two guppies the female will get pregnant repeatedly from that one breeding.

Without light guppies (and most other species of fish) can not see one another so it would be extremely difficult for them to locate one another let alone breed successfully. Therefor I would say that the effect of light would be to 'enable' reproduction of guppies.

Male guppies have to pass on the bright coloration gene that attracts females but that puts a spotlight on them for predators. If you don't have this gene then predators don't spot you as easily but don't attract mates to reproduce with.

No. Amphibians are marked by a life cycle between a fish like state in which they are called Tadpoles and an adult state (often called frogs). When they hatch from an egg they are small tadpoles who mostly spend their time eating, growing, and avoiding predators. As the grow the develop legs, then loose their tail, they also loose their gills and develop lungs. At this point they then become adult frogs. Though there are other creatures that belong to the amphibian family (such as toads and salamanders) frogs are the most well known. Additionally not all frogs loose their gills and develop lungs (as some are aquatic and spend their whole lives underwater, but they still develop legs and loose their tail).

Goldfish on the other hand are part of a family of fish rather than amphibians. Amphibians likely evolved from some species of fish into a partially land dwelling animal. Fish however never develop lungs and remain aquatic (water living) animals their entire lives. They also don't undergo any similar changes. They keep their tails and never develop legs. Goldfish themselves belong to a subset of fish, and is closely related to carp, Koi fish, and other breeds of fancy goldfish such as Orando and Ryukin.

Guppies become colorful which is bad because it attracts predators so the more bright and colorful a colony is the less amount of Guppies are going to be there. If they are drab then there are going to be hardly any bright guppies and only the drab ones. Coloration would be from the guppies trying to adapt to survive get the drabbest color they can be in order to survive so the predators influence is going to be there are going to be a high amount guppies in a colony if it has for example 30 Rivulus. But if they're more types of predators like Acara's and Cichlid's they're going to be no bright guppies only drab.

Quite often a male guppy will nip at the female if she is pregnant; this can stress the female and make her ill.
You can place the female in a birthing cage early on if this is a problem, but pay extra attention to the cleaning of the birthing cage daily.

If you have an over population of Guppy fish you might consider placing one of its natural predators in the tank for only a short time to reduce the over population : Oscar Fish, Jack Dempsey, Cichlids, or Paradise Fish. this new addition will need to be removed after the desired amount Guppies have been reduced.

From birth. All you need to do is grind up normal livebearer food to a size small enough for the fry to eat. As the fry get bigger so the food they eat can increase in size too.

no, guppies like to eat the big tails of the golden fish , and golden fish will die Goldfish tend to be a cold water fish, while guppies are tropical fish requiring temperatures between 72 and 80+ degrees Fahrenheit .

You may be describing a Moon or Wagtail Platty.

Try explaining why it's there.. it means the fish is pregnant. The darker it gets the closer she is to giving birth..

The gravid spot on a female guppy is a dark area directly in front of the anal fin.

Guppies are pregnant from any between 21-28 days but if conditions aren't correct, it may take longer.

Put a small amount, just enough to be consumed in a few minutes, into the tank. For fries, crumble up the food if it is a flake, like TetraColor.

If you wish to be successfull keeping fish then follow the basic rules. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Keep the above rules and your fish stand a chance. Anything less and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish. Guppies are tropical fish and need a temperature of around 75F.

Dying can be caused by a few different things. Young guppies that are impregnated early (before they are close to full grown) often die due to the stress of birth. Guppy males will start trying to mate the female fry (young fish) as early as about 4 weeks of age. The second reason is also due to stress, but stress caused by males in the tank, constantly chasing/trying to mate with the females. It's recommended to have at least 3 females per 1 male in a tank as a distraction, allowing the female to get some much needed rest. It's also a good idea to separate the female after birth for a few days from the males in the tank, so that they can recover from birth.

Also, female guppies get exhausted easily from having fry, if you have males in the tank with them right after having fry it doesn't give them a chance to recover. They need quiet and brine shrimp for iron after having fry, some people put a small amount of Epsom salts in the tank also this seems to help. A teaspoon to ten gallons of water is right, or a pinch to a gallon of water.

Also, water parameters may be off with ammonia or nitrite too high. The babies will be more sensitive.

Fry, adulthood and elder, the way to tell between elder and adulthood in males is they lose interest in females, if they had an interest in the first place...

Yes, unless you want the mother to eat them

Goldfish are best living with goldfish with the exception of weather (dojo) loaches, bristlenose plecos, or apple/mystery snails if you have the space.

Guppies have different needs, not to mention the fact that they are a tropical fish & belong in warmer water.

Male Body length not including tails:

New born: 6 mm

One Week: 7 mm

Two Weeks: 1 cm

One month: 1.5 cm

Two months: 2 cm

Three months: 2.5 cm

Six months: 3 - 3.3 cm

Fully grown: 3.5 - 4 cm

A pregnant female will have a black spot near their tail that continues to grow in size as she gets closer to giving birth.

The plural of guppy is guppies. The plural possessive is guppies'.

not many. Until recently i had a 15litre 'Baby Biorb' bowl with 2 goldfish in, however it did seem quite cramped even with just those 2 in there so I have upgraded to the 30litre version.

i guess however that it depends on what type of fish you are planning on keeping, i would say that my 15litre bowl would house maybe half a dozen minnows without problems, but anything larger will just feel cramped and won't be good the for the fish's health.

hope this helps to answer your question The rule of thumb for freshwater tanks is 1 inch of fish per gallon. That'd convert to 0.7 cm per liter if you have metric fish.

If half of your guppy's tail is missing, first assess the tank environment for any sharp objects or aggressive tankmates that could be causing injury. Ensure the water quality is optimal, as poor conditions can hinder healing. Provide a stress-free environment and consider separating the injured guppy if necessary. Monitor the fish for signs of infection and consider consulting an aquarium specialist or veterinarian if the injury appears severe or does not improve.
