So I have this guppy and I think it's a male, but I dont have a lot of practice sexing guppies early on so I wanted to see if someone could help. It's quite colorful and doesn't have a dark spot at the anal fin, but most of my fry are quite young so it could just be too early. Video

Thank you! I appreciate the help @Guppysnail @Galabar

I just reset one of my tanks, dumped out the substrate, scraped algae, etc. I put the crypt that was in there into a terracotta pot and put it back in because I want this tank to be a bare bottom tank for guppy fry. I noticed when I put it in the tank that there's still adhesive from the sticker bar code on the terracotta. Do yall think it's safe for the fry or should I try to remove it? Also, if I need to remove it, what would be a fry safe way to do so?

I moved my newest female guppies into their new tank. It's a very simple set up and there are only two female guppies that are big enough to go into this set up, but everyone is finally done with quarantine so I'm enjoying the tank. This is my first group of guppies since I lost all of my others, so I'm excited to start again and hopefully do better this time.

Sounds good. I did a 50% water change, added the recommended amount of maracyn 2, and I'll go buy epsom salt tomorrow. I found some epsom salt with no additives on my local grocery store's website so I'll just grab that. Thank you! I hope she gets better, this is my favorite female out of the 3 I have left.

So this guppy has been progressively getting more bloated on one side for the past few days, I bought maracyn 2 just in case it's dropsy and I got it in today. I know once they get this bad, there's little chance of curing them, but the thought process is curing the others before they start to show? I'm just not sure if this is dropsy just because it's so lopsided. I've been researching and this could also maybe be fish tuberculosis but ultimately I'm not sure. I doubt at this point it's a constipation issue, only the fry in the tank have been fed for the past few days. Any help is appreciated. Here's a short video of the fish, she's pineconing on the bloated side and very slightly pineconing on the not bloated side. No control of her swim bladder at this point and lethargic. https://youtu.be/3snLAq8rwEY As far as water perimeters go, they're pretty much the same as the last time I posted about disease in this tank pH: 7.2 - 7.4 Nitrates: 5ppm Hardness: 71.6 (4 drops on GH API test) Nitrite: 0ppm Ammonia: 0ppm KH/Buffer: 53.7 (3 drops on KH API test) Water Temperature: 79-80F

It's an imagitarium breeder box from petco. I got it when I first started and I still really like it!
-
Good news, they figured out that it's food. I'll be taking this out in an hour or two.

Sounds good! Time to pull out the ole mortar and pestle 🤣 Seriously tho, thank you! Question, what do you think about a smaaall piece of community plus repashy? Think they'll pick at it or will they just ignore it?

Day four, this is how theyre looking! Fed them egg yolk mixed with their water and some baby brine shrimp today. What should I feed them to mix it up? Also I realize their breeder box is a little dirty, I did a water change last night and I did do a little bit of cleanup just now, but I also just fed them. @Henry the fish keeper I decided not to move them to the new tank for now just because I'm having a hard time keeping the ammonia levels down. I plan on working on it on Friday, but I'm really busy atm.

Has anyone done any work on guppy genetic traits?
jaydawnsin replied to jaydawnsin's topic in Fish Breeding
I've watched this video. He's not explaining anything in detail, he's just using guppies to teach others how genetics works. I already know how it works, I want to know the details. I appreciate the link tho! -
Like what traits are dominant, recessive, co-dominant, etc. I'm wanting to do some guppy breeding to figure out how colors, patterns, tail shape and size, etc interact but I'm not finding too much on the different traits that guppies have and how they present phenotype-wise.

The babies had their first meal today! So stinkin cute. I gave them frozen brine shrimp

I spent around 8 hours messing with my aquariums today. Did a teeny bit of an aquascape that I know is gonna fall apart in a few weeks and I've accepted it 🤣 I've got red flame sword, baby tears, dwarf hairgrass, cryptocoryn pink flamingo, scarlet temple, a java moss spider I got for half off cause the store didnt have any regular java moss, and aponogeton crispus in this tank. The crypt and scarlet temple are both tissue cultures that I'm trying my hands at. If they die, no skin off my bones. I'll replace the scarlet temple with some pogostemon stellarus octopus I have entirely too much of and I'll fill in the empty space where the crypt is with more baby tears if worse comes to worse. I'm very excited to see this tank clear up and grow out! I also was taking care of some guppy fry today which took a lot longer than it really needed to, but theyre fine now. In their breeder box tempting their cannible tank mates. I cant wait to see what they start looking like as they grow!

Sounds good! I found another guppy fry and I might have figured out who the mother is! I'll keep you updated!
