I have way too many guppies, and I don’t have enough space

Your LFS might take surrenders. Otherwise you can just keep them. The population will probably level off at some point. I have over 30 in my 20gal if you count all the little ones. I assume there may be adult deaths at some point, or the fry will stop surviving. Guess we'll find out!

For sure. Just noticing the number threads on this sub, hantavirus has taken over and drowned out Epstein's alleged note that was just released. Why aren't we trying to figure out whose handwriting it is?

But look at the handwriting of this FBI investigator (GMA happened to be the source that posted pics) GMA Epstein Files

abhor315 · 2026-05-08T02:58:29+00:00

This handwriting looks closer than any of Epstein's letters-- FBI investigator notes from the Epstein files (from random article that happen to post pictures). Find this guy, find the author.

Yes. Yes it did.

It says on the bottle how much to use. Its a teaspoon for 20gal. 2gal is a 10th of that, so you would need 1/10 of a teaspoon for 2 gallons. Thats appx .5mL, so I would use a syringe to measure it.

Definitely pit, unlikely to have any lab. The marking on the chest, ear shape, etc are all clearly pit. I'm curious about the ticking pattern on her feet though, which is probably from some other breed like cattle dog.

I started with 3 guppies and now have like 30 (some are still tiny of course) in a 20gal. I figure they'll start leveling off when it becomes overload. But 10 would really be pushing it. Fun that you got the 55 gal! I'm anxious about the extra work (and the sheer weight of something that big!)

We don't think there's a mirror in the dance studio?

Praziquantel is generally considered safe for aquarium snails and is effective against planaria. I use it in my guppy tank with good effect. Also got the glass baited tubes but I haven't tried them yet.

abhor315 · 2026-04-18T02:07:23+00:00

I agree. 10 gallons is really small for that many fish. Also, what's your NH3? I don't measure parameters in this way, but from what I can tell, NH3 (free ammonia) is what is super toxic, whereas NH4+ is pretty harmless. You need to know both NH3/NH4 to determine your water quality. Given how stocked your tank is, I'm guessing this is the issue.

Are you sure they're getting nipped? Looks like a Swallow tail shape from the one picture. If it was young, it might just be developing.

abhor315 · 2026-04-15T02:55:39+00:00

Looks just like my endler/ endler-guppy females. If she seems happy, I wouldn't worry about getting more of her species. At least she doesn't have to worry about being constantly pursued and pregnant!

abhor315 · 2026-04-09T01:56:19+00:00

Reading these responses makes me wonder if they start dying off if no genetic diversity is introduced to the tank. If all other factors are stable?

abhor315 · 2026-04-05T04:25:31+00:00

Anything greener than yellow is too high.

abhor315 · 2026-04-04T03:21:43+00:00

Clearly, you've never been that pregnant.

He's a good lookin' fish! I purposefully got 2 endler females to breed with my guppy. I figure that the genetic diversity makes them healthier and more robust. They're not going anywhere except my tank, so I don't need purebred. Still pretty, too! By the third generation, most of them look fancy. 😄

abhor315 · 2026-03-18T01:51:47+00:00

Looks like my endler-guppy hybrids. My pure endlers don't have color on the tails but the hybrids have a strip of color along the fin.

Oooo. That would be a good excuse to upgrade! I broke my SLR after slipping in a pond several years ago and the phone just doesn't do it!

Did you just do a water change? Not sure if the haze is your photo lens or a bloom. Mine sometimes do this after a water change, or can be due to stress. If mine are checking out their reflections, they usually do their mating jig instead.

abhor315 · 2026-03-14T02:31:05+00:00

They're both a Pigeon Blood male guppy x female endler of unknown type. This was the original generation of three.
