Abstract Questions from a Freshwater Aquarist
7/31/09
Hello.
<Hi,>
I just have a couple of questions that I couldn't seem to place under
the same category (hence the name). Okay, my first question is
can ph kill fish?
<Yes. Rapid changes alters blood pH, and this turn affects the ability
of the blood to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body. The
wrong pH will severely stress, eventually kill, those fish adapted to
particular pH levels. A Rift Valley cichlid for example will not do well
at pH 6, and will become much more prone to opportunistic infections
than otherwise.>
I recently bought 5 goldfish for my aquarium, I set the bags in the
water for 15 minutes, then netted the fish and put them in my aquarium.
Three hours later (literally) they all died. I checked my water
chemistry soon
after, and the only offending thing I could see was a ph below the
charts (anywhere from 5-5.4, judging by the color) Nitrate: 40 Nitrite:
0 Ammonia: 45-ish Hardness: Moderate Temperature: about 76 at time of
death.
<Goldfish will tolerate pH values across a broad range, at least for a
while, but they do best at basic pH levels between 7 and 8. If your pH
really was as low as 5, then [a] biological filtration wouldn't be
working,
and [b] that low pH could easily have shocked or killed the Goldfish
outright.>
My second question: are store-bought fancy guppies of poor (I
mean very poor) quality?
<Can be. Essentially the question is the same as this: which are hardier
and more long lived, pedigree dogs or mongrels? The answer is of course
mongrels, which, on average, consistently outlive their pedigree
cousins.
Guppy breeders select in favour of certain traits, such as tails of a
certain length, or particular patterns on the body. But they don't
select in favour of hardiness or longevity By contrast, evolution
selects in favour of "fitness", the ability to survive and breed.
There's actually good experimental evidence that supports this. Fancy
Guppies cannot be acclimated to living in seawater, whereas wild Guppies
and "feeder" Guppies
both can. In other words, when breeders create Fancy Guppies, they seem
to throw away some of the genes that made Guppies hardy in the first
place. Now, there are differences in quality of Guppies just as there
are differences in the quality of pedigree dogs. The Guppies you buy
from a pet store were bred to a price, not a quality, and often fish
farms use antibiotics to "support" their fish so that they can stock
lots of them in breeding ponds without being too worried about
healthcare. By contrast, breeders at fish clubs will be taking more
care, selecting the best fish, and looking after each group of fish
carefully, as a labour of love. None of this gets away from the fact
that Fancy Strains are often very inbred, with father-daughter,
mother-son crosses being very common, so even under the best of
circumstances, Fancy Guppies are genetically "weak". But there is a
difference between good quality fish and mass produced fish.>
I've heard that the guppy is supposed to be the easiest and most
enjoyable fish in the hobby, and yet I've also had experience (and read
on other sites) that suggests otherwise, mostly due to inbreeding and
the breeders only selling low-quality fish to pet stores.
<Pretty much. Wild Guppies are astonishingly adaptable, and that's why
they became popular in the first place. Fancy Guppies, like fancy
varieties of most aquarium fish, are much less adaptable.>
My third question is if I breed natural (feeder) guppies with Fancy
guppies, will (some of) the fry be fancy and hardy?
<No; they'll all be "feeder" Guppies, or at least, mongrel Guppies with
a mish-mash of colours. To my eyes, such Guppies are lovely, resembling
the wild-type fish, which are wonderfully variable. The old name for
Guppies, Millionsfish, referred to the fact that there were so many of
them, and every one was different.>
My last question is that I've heard (on this site and others) that
Hornwort is an amazing and under-appreciated plant.
That it eats up Nitrates and Ammonia, looks good, reduces water
hardness, sucks up CO2, puts in O2, increases water ph, and is easy to
keep. How many (if any) of those things are true?
<Like high-fibre breakfast cereals, while it certain does some good, it
isn't a magic bullet that will cure all life's ills! Hornwort, or
equivalent floating plants such as Floating/Indian Fern or Amazon
Frogbit, are great additions to tanks with livebearers. Your Guppies
will nibble at them directly, and also peck away at algae growing on the
roots. Yes, they absorb some nitrate (and even ammonia) at a rate
depending on light
intensity (i.e., growth rate) and yes, floating plants provide excellent
hiding places for newborn fry. I strongly recommend them, but I would
expect them to replace your standard protocols for water quality and
water
chemistry management.>
I'm looking for a beneficial plant to re-place my withering ones (might
help those plants if I turned off/down my air-stones), and then stumbled
across the Hornwort.
<Hornwort does need strong lighting at tropical temperatures. It's less
demanding in coldwater tanks and ponds. In tropical tanks, sometimes
wastes away if the lighting is poor to moderate. Indian Fern and Amazon
Frogbit are, in my experience, a bit more forgiving.>
Hope I wasn't any trouble!

Questions
about stocking with glassfish and guppies – 06/26/08
Hello, my name is Jean.
<Hi Jean!>
Your site is a font of wonderful information! Keep up the good work!
<Thanks.>
I have a 20 gallon tall freshwater tank. I currently have 3 guppies and 3
(formerly painted) glassfish in it. I know I should keep my glassfish in
larger schools, so I do plan on getting more (unpainted!) glassfish soon.
Additionally, I think all 3 of my guppies are male (I think what I see is a
gonopodium on each, and no one has ever gotten pregnant), but they do not
seem to be bothering each other too much, no nipping at all. I had another
psycho guppy previously who was a killing machine, I returned him.
<Fairly common for male Guppies to be highly aggressive. Does rather depend
on the number of fish, size of the tank.>
My questions are: What additional fish can I add to this tank that will get
along with my glassfish and guppies? Should I do anything about having all
male guppies, if they seem to be doing alright? I'm not itching for fry
right now! I would like any additions to my tank to be peaceful, as I don't
want another psycho killer fish.
<Glassfish will mix with anything that doesn't actually eat them. I keep
mine in a tank with South American puffers, Corydoras, halfbeaks, Limia
nigrofasciata, and various catfish and tetras.>
Further, I add about 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt per 5 gallons to my tank,
for the sake of the glassfish and general health. The guppies don't mind.
<Neither Glassfish nor Guppies need salt. In fact the Glassfish traded in
the hobby are all freshwater fish. The idea they NEED salt is likely down to
misidentification, with the fish being sold (Parambassis spp.) being mistake
for brackish water Ambassis spp.>
My hardness (GH) is a constant 120 ppm, and my pH is currently at 6.8.
<Ideal for Glassfish and indeed most other soft water fish. Tetras and
Corydoras would be excellent options. Guppies do tend to be sickly in soft
water and at acidic pH levels, and your addition of salt is certainly
helping here somewhat. Still, I'd tend to phase out livebearers in favour of
true soft water fish.>
What other fish can I add considering the salt level? I've considered
mollies but can't they be aggressive, especially with the guppies?
<Mollies and Guppies can fight, so not a good combo. Besides, your tank is
WAY too small for Mollies.>
Further, are there any bottom feeders that would be o.k. in this
environment? (I love exotic little Plecos, like Bristlenoses, but heard they
can't stand the salt).
<Ancistrus and hardy Corydoras species can easily tolerate low salt levels
such as those you are using. Anything measured in spoons is inaccurate, so
forgive me for not using such methods. But normal seawater has 35 grammes of
marine salt mix per litre. One-tenth salinity would be easily tolerated by
Corydoras and Ancistrus, and works out at 3.5 grammes per litre. But to be
honest, I'd bin the Guppies, or rather ignore salt and instead harden the
water in a more effective way using Malawi Salt mixes, such as:
Per 5 gallons/20 litres
1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 tablespoon Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate)
1 teaspoon marine salt mix (sodium chloride + trace elements)
This is easy to make up using stuff from drug stores, grocery stores and/or
pet stores and costs pennies per water change. For the fish you're keeping,
one-quarter to one-half the dose described above would be ample. For
guppies, you're after pH 7.5, 10-20 degrees dH.>
Thanks so much!
<Cheers, Neale.>
Guppy question, sel. sys.,
dis. 2/17/08
I've had guppies for years and stopped and restarted a few times, out of
frustration of how delicate the females are.
<Of all fish species... this standard used to be rock solid... the touchy stock
from the Far East has ruined a good deal of the hobby the last decades>
I also have a 30gallon planted tank with co2 and such, so I'm not quite a
beginner.
I have almost enough salt to be considered brackish, think between 1Tbls/5gallon
to 1Tbls/10gallon. This is a planted eclipse hex 5 gallon.
<Small... hard to keep stable... and with the salt... easy for nitrification to
vacillate>
I have/had 5 females and 4 males. I think I even had another female but she died
back 2 months ago. They are all fancy guppies, so delicate it seems. I got them
from two different stores, one being PetSmart (sorry). I've had 2 females die
now in the past day. I just did a water change 3 days ago, about 20%, as usual
for every other to maybe ever week. The two that died were very pregnant and one
of them and possibly the other looked like they were about to give birth (both
were hanging out down on the gravel or plants being alone).
With that background out of the way, is there anything else I can do to make the
females more comfortable and less likely to die?
<Yes... see below>
This is a constant problem and I only got these fish 2 months ago and already
have lost almost half my original females. The temp is usually at 76 but can go
up to 79 (the eclipse light always has a tendency of heating the tank up if the
room is mildly warm). But lately it hasn't been.
Is my tank too crowded maybe too?
<Is a factor, yes>
They seem happy otherwise.
Should I instead be buying more reliable females,
<Yes>
is it possible I've just had bad luck with the ones I bought?
<Mmm, not entirely, no>
I think the ones that died today were both from PetSmart if that matters.
It's just demoralizing.
Thanks for any information.
-Erin
<Too many Poecilia reticulata on the market are infested with Hexamita
(perennially) and Columnaris (seasonally, and in more erratic punctuated
fashion)... Guarding against the introduction of these diseases can be
accomplished only through careful exclusion/quarantining of all incoming
livestock... and treatment with antiprotozoal (Metronidazole often) and possibly
antimicrobial (most celebratedly Neomycin...). You might have "luck" with
buying/selecting better stock from another source... but I would still at least
isolate it for a good two weeks (to weaken pathogens) before introduction to
your main displays... Having a larger system would be of great benefit here as
well as bolstering the fishs' immune systems through improved nutrition... Do
see the Net re the disease organisms mentioned... they can be defeated,
excluded... Bob Fenner>
hi again/ guppies... English
07/28/07
hi I have been emailing you a lot about swordtails and guppies. I have only
one male and one female guppy with some other fish. what would happen if I added
another male and female.
<Depends on the size of the tank. Likely the males will fight, and the females
get stressed. Serious breeders keep one male to multiple females per tank, and
will set aside not less than 20 gallons for each group of fish. Male guppies can
harass the females in smaller tanks, to the point where health (and fecundity)
are compromised. Rescuing a few baby Guppies is easy; establishing a breeding
program to produce substantial numbers of sellable offspring is a job of work.>
if that wont work should I put all males or all females.
<Adding more females is always good, assuming the tank will support them all
safely.>
I really want to know which way to go with putting more guppies in my tank I
also have a one gallon bow tank . how many guppies can I fit in that.
<None.>
I also wanted to know if a guppy or two in the one gallon would eat the only fry
I have in that tank.
<One gallon isn't an aquarium. It's a vase. Stick flowers in it. (Not my quote,
but another aquarist's, so I can't take the credit.)
can I put more guppies in that tank with the fry.
<No.>
also I have a tank with more fry in it. the youngest are a couple of weeks old
or a month. could I put more guppies in that tank.
<No.>
can I sell babies to pet stores.
<Yes, once the baby Guppies are a sellable size (2-3 cm). It takes about 3-4
months to raise them to such a size. To do that, the baby fish need to be in a
"rearing tank" of at least 10 gallons and ideally 20 gallons. Feeding needs to
be regular (4x per day) and water changes at least every other day to keep the
nitrates low. Water quality is the key: in polluted water, the baby fish don't
grow properly and likely die. Seriously, breeding Guppies "for profit" is hard
work, or everyone would be doing it!>
thanks a lot.
<Please try using capital letters and so on next time. If you want us to spend
effort helping you, please make the effort to produce an e-mail that's easy to
read and easy to share with other WWM visitors. Cheers, Neale>
hi... Guppy sel... English
07/28/07
Hi I have emailed you lot and was wondering if it is good that I have 4 male
guppies with 2 females. One female is yellow and orange. she is a fancy like the
rest. I was wondering also if you could send me some pictures of some pregnant
and not pregnant guppies and marble mollies. also if you could tell me how to
tell if a marble molly is pregnant that would be great. Thanks.
<No, it is not good to have more male Guppies than females. The ideal is at
least 2 female Guppies for each male Guppy. Pregnant fish are difficult to tell
from non-pregnant fish. When they are close to delivery, they do become
noticeably bigger around the abdomen. Female Guppies may develop a "gravid
spot", a dark region around the anal fin. But otherwise, if a female Guppy or
Molly has ever been with a male, you can assume it is pregnant. Please fix your
spelling and grammar next time; I had to fix your e-mail up to make it suitable
for publishing here at WWM. Cheers, Neale>
Guppies are simple 5/10/07
Hi Crew,
This letter is just to tick off all those who write in about their problems with
guppies and their fry. My grandson (10) just got 2 males and 2 females from an
LFS plus a small tank with a filter. Within 24 hours he had over 50 new ones
and managed to save them and place them in a separate container which is just
like a large jar, no water movement and nothing to clean the water other than
changing most of it once a week. It is now 4 weeks later and he only lost 3
babies. I can't figure it out but they must be some very hardy fish. Of the
original 4 only one male is left. It killed off the others. I am trying to
convince him that it is safe to put the babies in the tank because I doubt they
will survive too much longer in that set up he has.
<Well... the popular livebearers are "not what they used to be" back a few
decades ago... Do die "mysteriously" nowadays... but still a great joy and
growth experience for young folks (and not!) to house, keep... I still can't
stop collecting the fabulous one gallon jars available (mostly with pickles for
us) that would serve as great small containers... If only the source/tap water
were "safer"... Cheers, BobF>
Air pump/filter (quieting) and male guppies, comp. with their own kind/sex
4/1/07
Dear crew,
<<Hello, Tima. Tom with you.>>
I hope all is well. I have 2 questions regarding my fish tank.
<<All is, indeed, well as I hope it is with you.>>
(1) Does the air filter with a gauze and bubbles (AIRTECH 2KO bought from
Wal-Mart) need to be on at full power? Since it is so noisy, we turn it down,
not off, at night.
<<If your air pump is only being used to push air through an airstone or air
wand, there’s no real need for the pump to be on at full power. Almost
invariably, the vibration from the pump that’s causing the noise can be
dampened, or eliminated, by placing the pump on a soft pad of rubber or cloth,
for what it’s worth.>>
(2) Can a male guppy bully to death other male guppies?
<<Yes, they can and do on occasion. Because they’re small fish, we have a
tendency to keep them in small aquariums that don’t always provide enough space
for the fish to claim their own spaces. A dominant male might decide that the
whole tank is his and will bully the more submissive fish constantly, even to
death, in order to protect “his” territory.>>
Thanks for all your help.
Take care,
Tima
<<As an aside, Tima, you refer to your air pump as an air “filter”. I don’t want
to read too much into that except to mention that an air pump is not a filter
for the tank other than the gauze filtering the air that’s being pumped into it.
Hopefully, you have a separate filter for the water in the tank. (Some filters
are powered by air pumps and the distinction between the two can be a little
confusing especially for those who might be new to the hobby.) Best regards,
Tom.>>
Re: 2.5 Gallon- How many??? 3/2/06
Thank you for answering those questions, but how many guppies can I keep in this
tank?
Thanks,
Anthony
<Hi Anthony. I would keep only two at first, 3-4 after a few months. Keep them
all male or they may overpopulate. Best regards, John.>
Stocking tiny FW system with guppies 1/27/06
Hello, I'm hoping you can help me as I've been researching this matter for
several hours and while I've learned a bit I am unsure of what action if any to
take.
I have a 3 gallon Eclipse that I just reset up. I have my African Dwarf Frog in
there now who lived in a 3/4 gallon bowl for about a year. She is quite happy
and I am quite fond of her. I am thinking to add fancy guppies and I'm not
interested in breeding. I've been reading about guppies fighting etc., and I
want to avoid this problem. My question is would it work to add a single fancy
guppy?
<Yes, likely so>
If not, would 2 be just as good as 3?
<Mmm, not if of differing sex>
Would it be better to get females or males?
<Either, just of the same sex>
I'm wondering if I should skip that idea altogether and just get 1 or 2 more
frogs instead?
<Possibly>
I will be back in school in a couple of weeks and do not want to be overburdened
with tank issues/care.
Thank you in advance for your support and sharing your knowledge!

Female fancy guppy question 1/14/06
Hi,
<Hello>
I hope that you can answer my question or lead me to the proper place to get the
information I need. We have a 46 gallon tank, after we set up the tank
and had it ready for fish (the pet store tested the water quality as did we), we
decided that we only wanted fancy guppies. We purchased 10 males and 10
females,
<A bad ratio... too many males... and too many fish to put in a new tank at
once>
which the store said was a good combination to start with. We were told that
they were strictly kept separated until we purchased them and mixed them in our
tank.
<...?>
We noticed that a couple of our females were losing their color, first in their
tale fin and then in their bodies. We
had them die 24 hours after being placed in the tank.
<Something about the tank, water quality...>
The next day we had another die. All three were found dead about 20-25 minutes
after a feeding.
About 12 hours later, my hubby came home and he was holding the kids to
watch the fish and realized that we had fry swimming around. We could count 7.
<Stress induced repro...>
We put a breeder box in the tank to separate out the fry because that was the
only thing we had available. We were able to catch 5, one was eaten
and one got crushed in the gravel trying to get away from the net. Then we
noticed that there are at least 3 more females that are visibly pregnant.
<Common condition>
We have no idea which one had these fry and if it was a now deceased one. Today,
I have noticed that the females which are now greatly outnumbered are
being chased constantly around the tank. I also noticed that 4 of the remaining
6 females have either lost all color or are starting to lose their
color. The one that is the largest in her pregnancy is still looking good. The
water is testing fine for everything.
<Ammonia, nitrite?>
I just don't know what to do at this point. One of the males has lightened in
color, I believe, and has
gotten 2 dark spots on his belly. I am new to this whole fish thing. We
have had platys since Christmas, Swordtails a few days later, bamboo shrimp and
neon tetras in a 30 gallon tank...
<Ahh! Good>
they seem to be doing fine. We had guppies in that tank that were a replacement
for some swordtails that
couldn't handle the stress of being moved and the only thing they could do was
replace them with guppies which all died very quickly for us to find out
that the entire shipment was sick - but we were able to treat the tank like the
store said and saved everything else in there. That is why we have a
second tank for just guppies because the kids love them so much. We also got
this batch of guppies from a different store because of guppy quality
issues at the store where we were getting everything else. In addition to
losing color two of them are staying really close to the heater and not
really swimming, one I believe is pregnant but I can't really tell. The water
temp is 76 which is where the store had it for them.
I just can't believe that I bought a whole batch of pregnant fish!! That is
absolutely not what a beginner needs!
Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge!
Kimberly
<It may well be that these guppies you bought were also "a bad batch"... the
imported (majority) ones these years are often bunk... hormone treated, very
easily lost. In the event the tank is just not completely cycled, I encourage
you to add stability, by taking a good volume (like a quarter) of the water from
the 30 and placing it in the newer 46. I would get/use your own test kits for
ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH, and learn what these tests indicate. Bob
Fenner>
How Many Guppies Will the Guppy Gup? 12/5/05
How many guppies is it safe to have in a twenty gallon tank
<Uhm... Two. Because, in a few months, two become twenty, which in turn become
two hundred... But to seriously answer your question, 15-20 would be fine,
provided they are not all added at once.>
and what should the ratio of males to females be.
<Two to three females per male, otherwise individual females may be harassed
excessively. You may want to have a spare tank ready to separate males and
females when it all gets too much!>
Thanks
<Welcome! John>
Same Sex Guppies
I've had a tank for about six months. I have a few tetras and a catfish, but
would like to add a few more shoaling fish that are hardy and pretty. Guppy's
are pretty, but I do not want fry. Would Guppies be happy if they were in a tank
with all female or all male. Or do you have another suggestion?
Thanks! Annette
<Depends on the size of the tank and what your water conditions are. But a few
male Guppies should be fine together. If you are going to mix sexes it is always
best to have more females than males. So don't add a female if you go with a
small group of males. In a small tank with peaceful tankmates some Neons would
be nice. In a larger tank Danios or Barbs. The choices are endless. Just
research first and stock slowly. Be careful not to overstock. Don>
Same Sex Guppies pt2
Thank you so much for your reply!! I have researched to death, but still I
still do not know the best combination for my tank. I apologize for failing to
give you my tank size.
20 Gallon Tank:
5- Tetras: 1 inch asst
1- swordfish
1- white fish (I think it's a tetra as well)
1- Cherry Barb (This fish is aggressive and is going back to the store)
2- Catfish (Do I need 2 catfish??)
I would love to add fish with a colorful fanned tails of some kind. What do you
think of the following suggestions:
3 Male Only Guppies (Do not want fry, but also wouldn't want the males to live
in a state of constant frustration...)
Bettas (How many??)
Other suggestions?
You are so fabulous for answering my question!!!!!!
Thank you,
Annette, Dallas TX
<Sorry about the delay getting back. Some Tetras can be aggressive fin nippers.
Others are more social. Best not kept with a Betta. If you give it a try you can
only have one Betta per tank. As to how many catfish you should have, again it
depends on the type. Corys should be in groups of three or more. Plecos are fine
by themselves. One last thing, I assume the "swordfish" is a swordtail. If male
then it will be fine with a few male Guppies. If it is female the Guppies will
chase her trying to mate. Randy little guys. If you want fish with fancy tails
then go with the Guppies. Don>
Where to purchase quality guppies
Dear www.WetWebMedia.com Crew,
I like to know where is the best place I can purchase show quality guppies. I
have been hearing that there are a lot of scams and fraud on the internet
businesses that sell live fish. Do you know of any good hatchery near the San
Francisco Bay Area (or Northern California) or perhaps a reputable internet site
where show quality guppies are sold?
<I would look for positive feedback from other hobbyists as to where they got
good fish from. Our message board is here http://WetWebFotos.com/talk/. Also,
look for a local aquarium society. There is a good chance you could meet a local
breeder at one of their meetings.>
Can you also recommend me a place or internet site where I can purchase aquarium
rocks and decorations at reasonable prices?
<We have a ton of links for e-tailers on the website, www.WetWebMedia.com>
Thanks a lot! Ann
<You are welcome. -Steven Pro>
Boy vs. Girl Question - Where For Art Though My Little Guppy?
>Do tequila sunrise guppies come in females?
>>They most certainly DO, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to develop this
strain.
>The store where I got mine says they are all male. Please let me know. CR
>>Maybe all your store has that are IDENTIFIABLE (their big mistake, in my
opinion) as Tequila Sunrise gups are males, and that's the thing you see,
females quite often aren't anywhere nearly as pretty. Because of this, and
customer demand for "the pretty ones" (maybe also because of the guppy's
proclivity to produce more profusely than rabbits), they could have decided to
only carry males. Marina
How many guppies? Well, to start with, that is... (03/05/04)
<Hi! Ananda here this windy morning...>
Believe it or not I finally have my Eclipse tanks set up with water in
them. Will be ordering my mollies in the next few weeks. Have to stabilize the
aquarium, etc.
<My goodness... *ordering* mollies? In most places, they're pretty common.>
My question today is how many female guppies per male so that they are
comfortable??
<Two or three females per male.>
My husband is setting up a small guppy tank (6 gal) and wants to know the
male/female ratio. Me, I want to know how many fish would be happy in that
small of a tank.
<For that tank, I'd say two females, one male, and some ghost shrimp to help out
with tank janitor duty.>
I really appreciate your prompt responses. My order for Sailfin mollies is
forthcoming- Thanks so much, Marion
<You're quite welcome. Do wander over to the forums at
http://wetwebfotos.com/talk
-- I'm always happy to babble on about mollies. Wild-colored Sailfins are my
favorite. --Ananda>
