Guppy

Nemo, Dori, or Guppi.

no they are deaf at birth about 99% of the time and they will continue to be deaf till they are of age 5 to 9

from experience, i have just started to notice my beautiful gupies dying off, about a month ago i lost the mother gupie and about the last 2 week or so 3 of them. i've raised them from birth, and they are a just a little past 2 yrs old so i believe about 2 to 3 years is their life expectancy. i really miss momma fish, in the last 2 years she birthed approximately 5oo baby gupies of all colors and wasn't finished, she gave me 10 beautiful little babies the day before she departed.

Provided you keep to the basic rules of. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank need at least 50% of its water replaced every week. You can mix many different species with guppies. A few suggestions are fish from the following family groups. Tetras, Barbs, Danios, Rasboras, Dwarf Cichlids, Anabantids and Corydoras. There are many others but your local pet shop should be able to advise you.

Guppy fish is a type of live-bearing fish, as they give birth to live fish after a certain gestation period. The guppy is one of the most popular aquarium fish, and as a live-bearing fish, for he is considered to be quite easy to take care of and has the shortest gestation period of all live-bearing fish.

Water at around 75F, regular feeding and then follow the basics. :- 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.

All fish don't live in one place some fish live in lakes ponds rivers oceans and any other source of water.

It depends on the fish, um.. between 2weeks and a month.

Answer 1:

About a month. Well, that's when female FANCY GUPPIES can get pregnant!


Answer 2:

While it is true that guppies reach sexual maturation at about one month, they do not reach adulthood until around 12-14 weeks (~3.5 months).

Guppies need a 40 gallon tank. Maybe 3 at the most if you only put in plants and maybe one rock.

answer 2 by LipRingz:they don't need a 40 gallon tank i had 5 guppy's in a 2.5 tank in a 10 gallon you can have prob 8-9 guppy's

Guppies will eat a bit of algae now and then but don't expect them to eat plants because they are not plant eaters. They mainly eat tiny crustacea like Daphnia and insect larvae like Mosquito wrigglers. In some places they are put in waterways to control the Mosquitos and are called Mosquito fish.

She could well be staying away because she is due to release her young or maybe she has had enough male attention for a while.

Guppies are pretty hardy fish, they can easily survive without a filter. What most animal lovers will argue is that even though they can survive, it is abuse to the fish and you need your fish to "thrive".

Fist off, why do fish need a filter?
All a filter really does is clean the water and another thing that I will get to, therefore if you clean the bowl on a weekly basis than you have the cleanliness part covered. Unlike gold fish which have a huge amount a wast, the guppy is average.
For the second reason which to have a filter: all it does, compared to a bowl, is disturb the water surface which allows more oxygen into the water. Thus, the more surface area in a unfiltered tank the less needed is a filter. For example, if there was a tube that was 5ft. high and just 1in x 1in long, than the fish would probably die after using up all the oxygen that was already in the water, if there was a tube that was just an 1in high but was 5ft. long than there would be greater surface area and a filter would not be needed for most any fish (even though no fish should live in such a place). So, for the oxygen thing, you could even have just an air pump and do water changes often and be set (even though a filter is more preferable).
Now, should a guppy live in a bowl or a tank without a filter? I know from my own personal experience that they most certainly can survive. But that still isn't thriving... ...there is a good medium for the two...

Though my experiments on the subject at hand, I have found that guppies (this is the most extreme) can live in just a cup of water, and did water changes every (up to) three weeks and still live! To me, though, this is cruel. Now, some people make super houses for there dogs (thriving); yet the same dog can still live in an apartment (surviving). You really need to be the judge. I would say a three gallon tank, one that does not need to have filter would be most reasonable for your money and for a number of guppies to live unstressed.







Almost all freshwater fish, with the exception of bettas, like aerated water that is clean and constantly moving. I kept eight guppies alive in a salsa jar for two years when I was about nine, but I changed the water twice a week, every week, and I didn't overfeed my fish. I also aerated the water twice a day with an eyedropper.
If you must keep fish without a filtration and aeration system for any long period of time, scoop up water with a cup twice a day and drop it back into the container from a height to dissolve oxygen in the water. Change at least half the water two or three times a week. I always changed all the water and rinsed the gravel, and the only plant I kept was floating. Most fish will die from the stress of a total water change, and the hardy guppy is one of few species that can tolerate it.
You will also need a long, flexible plastic tube. Keep the fish container high up, and once every few days, siphon out waste. Place the tip of the tubing into the water, get down as low as you can without moving the tip of the tube out of the water, and suck on the other end. As soon as the water starts to draw, drop the end into a bucket. Use the suction created by the siphoning to remove fish droppings, uneaten food etc. Then top up the water.
Without a filter, without aerating the water at all, I would say you've got about three days before the guppy dies, and it would be so distressed anyway that that's an appauling welfare issue. The only fish that I have in non-aerated tanks are fry, and I do those three to five times a day to keep them going. The only reason I keep them like this is because they'd be eaten in the main tank with the adults and I can't set up fifteen fish tanks in my little house.

They probably would, but it isn't good for them. Feed them regular fish food instead.

Male gupies grow up 0.5 to 1.5 inches, and female guppies grow up 1.5 to 2.5 inches.

Fish lay eggs. They don't bear live offspring.

SECOND OPINION: Yes, but only half of an answer. Females about to lay make a "nest" in small rocks and lay their eggs there, so after the goofy male fish comes and fertilizes them with his cloud of sperm in the water, which then penetrate eggs and then the baby fish develops inside of that egg., living on fluids in the egg itself. With any luck at all, many of the now-sticky eggs will attach themselves snugly down between those rocks to prevent their being eaten by other not-so-nice hungry fish. The female mother fish hovers over her "nest" to protect her eggs and tiny hatchlings until they are big enough to quickly get out of harm's way. VERY few of the tiny baby fish live long enough to reach maturity.

THIRD OPINION:

Not all fish lay eggs. Some are livebearers, which means that the baby fish develop inside of the mother, and then the mother gives birth to the live fish. Fish such as Mollies, Platies, and Guppies give birth to tiny baby fish that swim around the tank right after their birth.

The guppy is named after the Rev. J.L. Guppy of Trinidad, an early collector of the species from the late 1800's. Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are placed in the family as mollies and mosquitofish. The wild, original guppy is native to Central America, as well as Trinidad and northern South America. Today, many guppies are found in Asia, especially Singapore, where many fancy strains are bred in large fish farms, and shipped to pet stores all over the world. The Fancy Guppy Fancy guppies are the result of specialized breeding techniques and they only slightly resemble the small, wild guppy, often seen in pet stores labeled "feeder fish".

Guppies are freshwater fish. Their tanks should contain no salt.

Nothing can live without oxygen. Guppies get their oxygen from the water by using their gills. An air bubbler does absolutely no good to the water. Connect the air pump to a filter and then the filter will benefit the tank by biologically removing ammonia from the water. The rules of fishkeeping 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.Follow the 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.

They have a gestation period of around 28 days depending on temperature. If conditions do not suit a female she is capable of holding on to the fry and dying rather than giving birth. Guppies need a temperature of around 75F medium hardness and Neutral pH. then follow the rules.

Yes! Like little bunnies. It is best to have one male for about three females. You should read up on live bearers and either get a breeding net or a divider box.

While breeder boxes are good if the momma catches you of gaurd and births early, a separate tank from about 3 to 10 gallons will be perfect for the birthing and raising of the fry. When momma guppy squares off, you know its time, put her in the birthing tank. It should have a heater, sponge filter and TONS of plants.
