i just give them a weekly water change from my malawi tank since they do better in hard water. also i have 2 red ramshorn snails in with them to make sure their water stays free of uneaten food. i have never had any guppies do this well til i started keeping them in hard water. this keeps my main tanks clean too since i just replace the water i took for the fry tanks.

U seeling them or breeding for live feeders?
mrsdoubtfire - May 7, 2005 10:24 AM (GMT)
actually, i breed these guys to sell. once they mature with color i begin my culling(for any defects). once i'm satisfied with the ones i decide to keep, i select the best males, put each male in with about 5 or 6 plump females and thats how i end up with 4 to 5 females pregnant at the same time. i usually do pretty good selling these guys to. i currently have a male guppy that his tail is shaped like a fire blaze and the color of fire too. i have been offered money for him but i can't bring myself to sell him just yet.

Id keep him to get the genes through to more males.
Sounds like a plan u got though! :D
