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

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

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.

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

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

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?

The Old Gods

07:56:44 Void Malign

Yeah, guppies are both live bearers and sexually dimorphic.

Hey Myth!

Yep the answers is the just get males. It's pretty easy to tell the difference with guppies.

I seriously have an assassin I see once a year, if that. He'll pop up occasionally and I'm like "oh, hi buddy. Glad you're alive. Sorry there aren't any snails in here for you to munch on right now." And then he disappears again and I think he's dead until he decides it's time to pop up again lol

Yes, goldfish definitely need more tank maintenance haha.

I also have enjoyed my gouramis if you like them.

Well, thank you guys for giving me extra knowledge, I appreciate that. Perhaps I will use real plants in my next tank. All of my prior bettas lived for five plus years so I figured my care was already as best it could be. I guess I can improve lol

The Old Gods

Just get a bunch of males
