Guppies Eat their Babies | How to Reduce Cannibalism
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Hi, everybody!
I had a few comments asking me how I am able to keep my guppy fry and adult guppies in the same tank without the adults feeding on the fry. today's video I show you all my tips on doing so. Although cannibalism is a completely normal part of nature in fish, preventing it will yield some beautiful fry.

I really like this video, but I do disagree with the last factor; if you give the guppy fry light, it could trigger growth. When its daytime, fish are more active, and that's why it would trigger their growth. Once the fry grow up, then they won't need to be scared about being eaten.
Thank you for keeping it simple and to the point.

@Catthulhu 666 420 absolutely also your hornwart will grow roots into your lava rock just start it off by tying it on with cotton don't just rest the rock on it or it will kill it off at the bottom and the top with then float up

@Catthulhu 666 420 haha oh dear it is the gift that keeps on giving lol 😂
guys be careful when you feed your guppy veggies.one time i gave them a lettuce the whole tank of guppies, parents and fries died.maybe there was insect repellent on it.make sure to clean it thoroughly.i was so devastated that i stopped caring for guppies. but after watching fish4ever, she made me jump into this hobby again.now i have a pair of golden guppies.im planning to breed them and have an army of golden babies.wish me luck!
I’d usually just move the mothers so they can give birth in a separate tank then move them back once they’re finished
Another upload 😍 Great video.

OC Lexus Thank you so much! :)
Thank you for the beautiful advice to keep our babies safe , because I was facing problem about the mother eating their baby, thank you so much
For some reason my guppies do not cannibalize much. I think it’s cuz they were crossed with endlers. I’ve even started to introduce tetras as means of population control since I don’t have another tank.
Very informative video! Thanks so much 👍🏽👍🏽
Guppie protecc Guppie attacc But most importantly Guppie eat snacc

wow!
I've never seen my guppy eating lettuce like that
Thanks sooo much especially since thinking of having guppies and possibly having them breed.
The fry keep hiding in the gravel and get chased by the adult male and female..especially the male chases them...what do I do? I just sprinkle pellets all over the tank so it reaches them. I am aware of ammonia levels rising but no other choice
How long do I blanch the veggies before putting them in the tank?
Goal for 20k subs now seems almost as cute as the guppy fry ^.^
How much veggie do you put in it that they can eat at once? Is that for a meal instead of fish food?
Amazing video thank you
I guess you need to buy a pair of assassin snails to take care of the black snails. As those black snails will breed so fast
I feed them when they’re having fry so they don’t eat them when i’m gone
Great job on the video.great tip on covering tank and making it dark that always gives me a big bomb of fry

Peyman Shamtoub Yes, I used a bin tank many years ago as a temporary transport tank and a few days later I had so many guppy fry! It was definitely due to the dark levels of light. Thanks for watching! :)
How do you keep such vibrant plants with those snails? I bought plants online that were infested with small eggs and my tank got overwhelmed with snails very quickly and the eggs were thick, all over everything. They annihilated every single bit of plant life in my tank. Had to empty everything and do a peroxide soak of the tank, substrate and everything else in the tank.
I just have a swordtail and I mix it with guppies, sadly guppies try to eat the swordtails.
Love balloon mollies but guppies african cichlids and calico convict cichlids and red tail catfish🐠 are my favorite
Best video ever !!!
Your sound is cute.....and i have my first molli babies fry
What plant did you feed them?
We had baby Cichlids for the first time. Me and my dad were so happy when we saw those little buds. We left the fishes with their parents since they were guarding them. Once it was feeding time the fish food landed near the babies and the adults excluding the parents ate both the food and the babies. God I got so fucking pissed.
Very good
Mine just ate half a tank of fry .. damn it
Not only baby fish they are so crazy that they even eat their eggs and tiny tads.
I have guppy’s!
I miss keeping guppies, but for some reason all the guppies from my lfs’s always seem to either have or get a disease once I bring them home. So I feel like they just don’t do good due to the water quality here where I’m from.

Lfs guppies usually do carry diseases but you should hit them with medication right when you bring them home to clear out any diseases or parasites

@@dannyg901 Keeping a breeder box that hangs on the side of the tank is an ok way to corral the babies in one place and have them protected. The best way though is probably to have another small tank that you transfer the babies to for them to grow up in peace. Once they're big enough you can transfer them back into the adult tank.
WHERE CAN I GET PLANTS LIKE THE ONES YOU HAVE?

You can get pretty much any plant you want online. Type in the plant name, or "beginner aquarium plants" and pick from those. Many online shops sell them.
