Silver Dollars grow to over 12 inches long and could well eat a guppy although they are normally vegetarians. You need a minimum size tank of 30 gallons to keep a couple of silver dollars. Please 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. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that you will have constant health problems with your fish.
Where do guppies have their babies at?
They just have them in the tank they are put in. You choose. If the conditions don't suit the female, she can hold on to her fry and stop them from comming out, and she can even choose to die rather than let her fry be born into what she considers to be a bad place. To avoid this happening you need to know and stick to the rules of fishkeeping. The rules are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water but more is better. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Stick to those rules and you stand a chance of keeping fish successfully. Miss out on any of them, and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.

No guppies do not have milk glands,
guppies are fed with an embryo sac when they are in the females womb. Once they hatch they still have the embryo sac for two to three weeks. Once that has been depleted they are normally big enough to eat on foods as large as 1000 microns, which normally consist of live plants, and micro algae.
They have gills to be able to breathe underwater.
Permeable skin, to be waterproof, so they won't sink.
Bright colours to show they are dangerous, so do not approach. (as well as being beautiful)

Hello, for guppies to be truly happy fish warm water is the go. Ive heard of some people having guppies in cold water but they arnt very successful and they normally die after a short while. Basically what u want to do with fish is do a bit of research on the wild habitat of that particular fish and try to match your tank setup close if not identical to that. Some fish are the exception tho depending on how they are bred, so check with ur aquarium first... Then u will have nothing but happy fish!
How long should you keep your baby guppies in a separate tank?
Signs of pregnancy are a large belly, a boxy-look from the front view, and a darker gravid spot, the spot, under the fish's tail. Near the day of delivery the gravid spot becomes darker and you can sometimes see eyes of the unborn fry as tiny black dots. Female guppies can drop fry every 4 weeks.
Do you need a licence to breed and sell guppies?
I think it depends on where you are in the world. Most local fish stores will take the guppies in exchange for store credit or money.
Fish in a bowl are taken care of much the same way as fish in an aquarium. The water temperature needs to be regulated, the environment needs to be kept clean, the fish need to get their food. It is far more work than an aquarium with a heater and a filter, but it is manageable.
What does a male guppy look like?
You normally won't see them because they give birth to live young. But sometimes if the female is shocked it may drop an egg before she gives birth to the rest. That egg looks like any other fish egg, or it may have an undeveloped fry.
