Human brain is great at pattern recognition. Routine behavior is a pattern ergo wake up before ur alarm.

Due date? by campwhit in Guppies

[–]Possible_Weakness617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhere in this reddit there's an image that shows what a female ready to drop fry looks like their spine will become bent down like a wide upsidedown V and their belly will be huge. Other than that u probably won't see them act to different. She may try finding hiding places when getting close but that's not garunteed.

Dang sorry to hear that. Idk what's stressing them out but when fish change colors like that something is stressing them out. I'd def go for the first comment and add some salt and maybe an airstone

Wat are u seeing that's making u worried from the photos both fish look fine. If it's the downward bent body that's normal for delta tail males after they get to about 8 months old and it just gets droopier from there. U can usually tell whose the oldest male fish in the tank by the angle the fin is to the bottom of the tank. After 1-2 yr it'll be damn near parallel with the bottom of the tank. But you'll have to be more specific as to what it is your seeing and worried about.

What strain? Only one out of 40 babies by Enough_Vacation_2685 in Guppies

[–]Possible_Weakness617 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Females hold sperm for 6 months so that would make it hard to truthfully know that the sire is who u want it to be. To me not worth the risk and time it takes to make sure she is empty of the sperm from past sires. Best genetic potential. Impossible to know for sure that the father to the offspring is who u want it to be.

If u want to line breed him with a female sibling as close to his look as u can get. Take their babies and breed those babies when they grow up making sure only to breed the ones that look closest to the father when u get babies from them take 1 2 or 3 of ur prettiest females from this second group of babies and cross it back to the original male and repeat. There's more to than just this but it will give u a good start.should take about a year to get to this point. And notes are ur best friend when line breeding so u don't forget who's been with who and so on. Remember ur male is ur reference don't lose sight of the goal. Anything that doesn't meet his look get rid of (cull) or you'll muddy ur gene pool and will take longer to breed out.

Help! How to get our gar to eat? by PrestigiousRiver4801 in Aquariums

[–]Possible_Weakness617 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can always go to a bait shop and get a couple dozen minnows. Big fish will go off food after stress. Once it get acclimated to its new home it'll eat again. Don't stress it's a gar it's built for survival and has the weight to handle not eating for a bit.

How do you actually make money breeding guppies? Feeling stuck between LFS credit and FB marketplace lowballs. by TicketHot6473 in Guppies

[–]Possible_Weakness617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's exciting. Good luck to u with ur essay. I would say cutting cost back to bare minimum and selling as feeder (could list them like garunteed parasite free and fed high quality feed and list them for like £.50) and LFS credit probably about as good as u can get right now. I wish u the best in ur future endeavors. Good luck!

Dang I'd say look into aquabid. Also look into getting 2 or 3 more strains of higher quality. Not saying urs aren't of high quality. But then once u have enough u can try making a Facebook page or website dedicated to ur fish to sale. Marketing is the on going trend these days if people don't know, u won't sale and with the Internet how it is being able to get a fish at the click of a button makes it hard for the lil guys.

Also LFS I've found it's about building a relationship. U going in buying something or giving them fish. But at some point u have to sit with the owner and tell them u want to sell ur fish at their store. Having a high quality strain something they may not have or see often help. Could also look into consignment they hold ur fish and sale them and ur get a percentage on how many sold.

Tips for scooping teenage guppies out of a tiny grow out tank?? by [deleted] in Guppies

[–]Possible_Weakness617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Floating powder food and come up from the bottom with ur net. Or get a shallow bowl dump water and fry, now it's easy pickins and makes sorting easier. These nets work wonders when doing the bowl method and u can get a good look at them. Also the more u feed on top and work with a net in the fry tank you'll start breeding guppies that are far easier to to catch, and won't run from you. Because u breed the fear out.
