r/Guppies

This is my first successful tank. It is 2 months old. It is 65 litres waltsad method tank. It has vallisneria, small amazon sword and many water wisteria. It has a hang on back filter with custom sponge and activated carbon filtration. I removed the in built cartridges. I keep light on for 6-7 hours daily.

In past i have tried this hobby and had glass aquarium but It didn't work, they failed multiple times and it was very expensive for me to get all that aqua soil, plants and medicine and fertilizer. I gave up but then I thought let's give it a one more try and this time let's do in a container rather than buy expensive glass aquarium and this time it worked.

I have hb guppies and 1 cobra skin guppy. All are male. And I have put in 4 trumpet snails too. I will add some red dumbo ear female guppy later. Because I want to create new strain. It's an idea I got after I saw YouTube videos. I thought I want to try this and so I will.

As you can see i haven't wipe out the walls. Because I notice my guppies eat the stuff on wall. I feed my guppies 2 times a day. In morning I feed guppy bites. And in night i feed freeze dried blood worms.

Thankyou

( English is not my first language)

she sits on the bottom and her tummy is super white

I am absolutely flabbergasted. I just looked into my fry tank and did a triple take when I saw this..

A larger fry, with a smaller, but still visibly functioning fry attached to its abdomen. The small one still moving his tail. Wild.

What do you guys think of this male guppy? I'm not sure what to call this tail and don't know if it's ethical to breed him or not. In my head he's my prettiest male because of how unique he is. I need professional advice tho.

Can anyone help?? TQ

Her gravid spot changed from black to this color and now she has clear poop. She’s not interested in food and is pretty much swimming in one spot. Idk if this is labor or she’s sick. My water parameters are perfect and all the other guppies seem to be okay right now. How do i determine the difference or do i just have to wait it out?

So I've had my guppy tank for almost 3 months now and about a few weeks ago my tank has been growing crazy amounts if algae usually at the bottom of the tank and on a rock in the corner. It started with the rock a maybe a month ago, but eventually spread throughout the whole tank. I usually have to clean it out every morning, otherwise it'll grow more and more throughout the day. Is there any way I can stop it? If it helps, I have 3 bundles of Amazon Swords, one bundle of a Java Fern, a piece of driftwood and a moss arch. I took these photos maybe 10 minutes after I cleaned it. Any help would be appreciated!

I noticed a little wound on my platys belly, my molly was also picking on the wound..., and i immediately treated it with methylene blue and salt, he seems fine, has an appetite but today he looks a bit lethargic.

The whiteness isnt fuzzy so i dont think its fungal or bacterial infection but im really confused.

Could my mollies be roughing him up too much? why him?

Sorry for the bad photos, if the light was on he d always be moving around :).

Please help me see whats wrong with Sneakers.

if you can think of things i need to improve on please don’t hesitate to let me know down below!

my guppies finally arrived and are rather hyper right now! i’ve been just sitting watching them for hours honestly, so beautiful :)

For the last couple of hours he’s been swimming in one spot near the surface. We just got four guppies in a new tank by themselves yesterday and they’ve all been active and fine up until this. The others seem okay.

He was the first to really explore the tank and now he’s just up by the surface and I’m concerned there’s something wrong.

I just did a water test and all looks fine. Nitrates slightly on the high side so I’ve done a water change.

Does anyone recognise this behaviour? What can I do?

Hello, I've had guppy fry for nearly a month now. They were doing fine, but for the past few days, they've started dying off one by one. As you can see, I have a large aquarium with other fish that are all doing very well. I've placed the fry in a strainer to protect them from predators in the tank. I should mention that it's positioned right next to the filter so it gets some flow-avoiding stagnant water-but not too much current.

When they started dying a week ago-I'm up to the seventh death today -the strainer was covered in diatoms (brown algae). I cleaned it, but the daily deaths continued. So, I performed a ~60% water change on the tank (300L) and cleaned the filter at the same time (using tank water, of course). I put them back in the strainer and shifted it slightly more into the pump's flow to improve circulation; however, I was worried about the current being too strong and exhausting them to death, so I didn't move it too far (that was two days ago).

Today, I shifted the strainer a bit more because I felt it wasn't quite positioned right relative to the filter's flow. I also forgot to mention that I regularly check for leftover food at the bottom of the strainer and siphon it out with a manual vacuum if necessary, though I do leave a little bit so they can graze if they need to.

Does anyone know what might be causing these daily deaths?
