HELP !! lol.

So i ended up buying 5 guppies... 3 male and 2 females...

Everything seemed great during the first two days
On day 3... i noticed a wack load of frys... :)
at 6pm on day 4... i found the two females....... DEAD !!!!!!!!!!

WTF is going on ????

should i buy more females?? or have a tank with males? I read online about males harassing the females to death.

^ LOL rapid respawn

You should let it be unless you want more fry. Hope you put the fry's in a isolation tank.

Probably too much bio load. Separate the babies in another tank and do a large water change. Also its nice to have a test kit at home so that you can pinpoint the problem.

I will do a PH test tonight.

I did a 50% water change the other day too... the water seems alot more clear... :)

I actually never intended to breed or anything. I do not have a second tank nor do I want to invest anymore money into this new hobby of mine.. lol..

Is it ok to have 4 male guppies and 8 fry in a 12 gallon tank ???

hook up some fries when they get bigger? lol
yeah guppies and convicts and many others breed like crazy
just put a male with a female in some water and its gg

Yeah sad about the fish ... but I think after some thought, 3 males probably harassed the shit out of the 2 girls so they got stressed out which leads to easily getting sick.
I would just leave the fish as it is for now.

I dont have a second tank to put all the frys in.... so........ i looked yesterday... there are only 2 left..

the water is still a bit murky but think its from the drift wood. I will try to remove it this weekend.

J>>>

I've bred guppies in one tank with the parents before. If you have some java moss then should help the fry hide and feel more safe.

How old's your tank? 5 days only? Fish might have died because the there's not enough beneficial bacteria for the amount of fish you have. You can't rush "cycling" the tank properly. It's common n00b mistake. I made the same when I started. Should probably only have 2-3 fish for a 10 gallon for a few weeks.

If your water is brownish it's from the wood it usually isn't an issue. It will lower pH though.

If it's cloudy, it's likely a bacterial bloom due to the fact you have too many fish and not enough good bacteria.

Guys, come on....less talky talky and more pics of your fishy fishies!

all my neons and rummy noses died due to icks :okay: but all the new fish survived.

Im planning on redoing my whole 20 gallon long tank with plants, neons, and pygmy cories. Hoping everything will work with DIY c02 system.
Anyone here got a planted tank? Show some pics.

I'm in the same boat. Fake plants are just that. Fake. Some fake plants look alright, but can't hold a candle to a tank with some nice real ones.

Anyone have any suggestions for some good beginner plants? I'm not planning on having a co2 system or anything, just a proper bulb. :D

Does anyone have any extra plant or any type of plants after trimming and would like to donate to me send me a pm.

Check on BCAquaria.com

I would've had some if I still had my big tanks running. I have like nothing left other than 2 dinky 2 gallons. :(

My 20 gallon long set up, been working on it for only a week so far.
