More feedback? lol

Makes sense. I think guppies are pretty and like the idea of a group of fish.

The Old Gods

Minimum of a 10 gal. Just for adequate space and larger tanks are more forgiving in terms of water parameters

What size tank do you recommend for guppies? and how many?

Some guppies will eat their babies, but if you absolutely don't want babies then get all males.

The Old Gods

08:00:27 Void Malign

If you don't have adequate floating plants, the babies tend to get nommed

So the guppies take care of themselves or get all males?

The Old Gods

07:58:34 Void Malign

But yeah. Just get males and it's not an issue.

I tend to just let them be as well, as far as guppies go.

The Old Gods

07:58:06 Void Malign

I'unno. I never had an issue. As a kid, we just let 'em go at it. Tank was stupidly overstocked, but didn't have any issues due to how planted it was

I feed my overpopulation of guppies to my angels. Angels are natural hunters and will hunt down the babies. It's enriching for them and they help me out by thinning my guppy population lol

I have a fahaka pufferfish and another tank with fancy plecos :)

You can either just get males, or give away the babies. I've done both.

The Old Gods

07:57:27 Void Malign

SOme of the other live bearers like mollies are harder to tell apart at a glance

I like the idea of guppies, but like I said what do you do if they over produce? Do you have to kill them yourself?

For some time I have had a hard time brooding out my girls. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m doing something wrong, if no one is interested in using outside mares right now, or something else. I’ve been able to brood them out for free or just to cover the embryo fee just because I don't want them sitting unused, but it isn’t sustainable to do all the time. I don’t think my mares are that bad either but please let me know if I’m delulu lol.

Do you have more luck posting in sales chat, making a post in broodmare ads/embryo forums, club threads, or other channels? Also, is it better to have set prices, do auctions, or have people give you offers? Curious to hear your opinions and experiences!

I can't embryo or brood out any breed lately. Even LB horses. I think it's the people not wanting to use them or too many available

It's just the market. Some months all of my mares get brooded out and some it's like pulling teeth to get somebody to take my upper TBLB, WWW producing Tobiano mare.

Thank you for your replies, I haven't heard anyone talking about it so I wasn't sure if it was just me!
